Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy — Minotaur Puzzle

The Minotaur trial sits in Chapter 4, From Hell It Rose. It is the point where the labyrinth's central mechanic stops being a story beat and starts being something you have to solve.

Below is what we have verified about where this sequence falls and what it asks of you. A step-by-step solution is still being checked against multiple playthroughs — a wrong puzzle guide is worse than no puzzle guide, so we would rather publish the placement now and the steps once they hold up.

Where the trial happens

Chapter 4 is titled From Hell It Rose, confirmed from the in-game achievement list, where each chapter completion awards its own achievement. It follows Those Before Us (Chapter 3) and precedes Desolation It Wrought (Chapter 5).

By this point the game has established its central conceit: Sophia can shift between her medieval present and the ancient Minoan era, and what changes in the past reshapes the present. The trial is where that idea is first put to work as a puzzle rather than a cutscene.

What the sequence involves

From what we have been able to confirm, the trial centres on the Minotaur statue and a sequence of latches and medallions that must be set correctly. The labyrinth's imagery — the beast, the crown, the throne — is woven into the puzzle's framing rather than being pure decoration.

To be confirmed: the exact order of the latches, the number of medallions, and the interaction required at each. We are verifying these against multiple playthroughs before publishing steps. Getting this wrong wastes your time in a section that is already fiddly.

Related puzzle types in the same stretch

The game groups several puzzle families around this part of the campaign. Players search for these by different names, which is worth knowing if you are looking for a specific one:

Note that "bull puzzle" and "Minotaur puzzle" refer to the same thing — the Minotaur is a bull-headed figure, and players use both terms. If you arrived searching for one, this is the page for the other too.

Why the light and mirror puzzles are counted separately

It would be reasonable to assume "light puzzle" and "mirror puzzle" describe one mechanic, since mirrors redirect light. We are keeping them as separate entries because players consistently search for them as distinct things, in more than one language — which usually means they are encountered as distinct sequences rather than as one recurring gimmick.

Whether they are mechanically the same system used twice, or two different systems, is something we will confirm before merging the pages.

If you are stuck right now

Practical advice that does not depend on unverified specifics:

• Look for what changed. The core mechanic is the shift between eras. When a mechanism will not respond in one time period, the answer is usually in the other.
• The labyrinth telegraphs its symbols. Latches and medallions carry markings; the game is generally fair about showing you which is which before asking you to use them.
• Combat and puzzles are separated here. If you are dying repeatedly, that is a difficulty setting question, not a puzzle question — difficulty is adjustable in the menu and does not gate puzzle solutions.
