The Murmuring Woods Grove of Epiphany presents one of Honkai: Star Rail's most intricate exploration zones during the 'Grove, Wherefore Are the Wise Silent' Trailblaze Mission. This mystical forest area challenges players with multiple Golden Scapegoat puzzles that unlock substantial rewards - including Golden Remains, 20 Stellar Jades, Relics, and valuable upgrade materials. But what makes these puzzles so special? Beyond their satisfying difficulty curve, they weave spacetime mechanics, combat challenges, and environmental navigation into cohesive brain-teasers that test both strategy and observation skills.

First Golden Scapegoat Puzzle Walkthrough

Reaching this initial challenge requires teleporting to the Serene Court of Learning Space Anchor (F1) and taking the southern Janus’ Hidden Passage. The solution involves a precise three-stage button sequence:

  1. Initial Activation: Press specific buttons to start the mechanism

  2. Puppet Evasion: Input avoidance commands when the puppet moves

  3. Altar Approach: Final button combinations to safely reach the altar

Reward highlights include:

Item Quantity
Stellar Jades 20
4-star Relic 1
Celestial Ambrosia 30

Second Puzzle: Library of Philia Challenge

This complex puzzle demands spacetime manipulation before even reaching the mechanism. Why is it more demanding? Because it layers multiple environmental interactions:

  1. Enter B1 via northern door at Garmentmaker Outpost

  2. Use Tome of Miracles → Switch to Dawn spacetime

  3. Activate western Enhance Prayer

  4. Descend via Cognos Bloom

  5. Return to Evernight spacetime

  6. Align Oracle Orbs on northern bridge

  7. Solve Prophecy Tablet puzzle first!

After these preparations, the same three-step sequence applies: initial buttons → puppet avoidance → altar approach. Don't forget to collect your Traveler's Guide and Lost Gold Fragments afterward!

Final Golden Scapegoat: Dome of Devotion

The most elaborate puzzle combines combat, spacetime shifts, and multi-floor navigation:

  • Start at Dome of Devotion Anchor → Switch to Evernight

  • Ascend western stairs → Change to Dawn upstairs

  • Rotate eastern Oracle Orb

  • Activate Enhance Prayer near Cognos Bloom

  • Return to Evernight → Descend via Bloom

  • Defeat lurking enemies (team preparation crucial!)

  • Solve Prophecy Tablet → Cross frog-leaves bridge

  • Ascend again → Shatter left-side Ichor Vessel

Only then can players input the signature sequence: mechanism start → puppet dodge → altar path. The payoff? Two 3-star Relics and substantial upgrade materials.
