8 switch puzzle poe

The "8 Switch Puzzle" in Path of Exile (PoE) is a mechanic found in certain areas, such as The Temple of Atzoatl (Incursion) or The Apex of Ascension (Trials). It involves flipping switches in the correct order to unlock doors or reveal hidden passages. How the 8-Switch Puzzle Works: Location: - Commonly appears in Alva's Incursion Temple (Temple of Atzoatl) in rooms like the "Trap Workshop" or "Storage Room." - Also found in Trials of Ascendancy (e.g., Apex of Ascension). Objective: - Activate the correct sequence of switches (usually 4 out of 8) to open a door or reveal loot. - Wrong sequences may spawn monsters or reset the puzzle. Solution: - The correct switches are often highlighted subtly (e.g., slightly different color, glowing runes, or alignment with nearby patterns). - In the Temple of Atzoatl, the correct switches match the symbols on the door or nearby pillars. - In Trials, the switches may correspond to nearby statues or environmental cues. Tips: - Look for visual clues (e.g., symbols, torches, or carvings). - Some puzzles require hitting switches in order (e.g., left to right). - If you fail, wait for the puzzle to reset (10 seconds). Example Solutions: Temple of Atzoatl (Storage Room): - The 4 correct switches often match the symbols on the door. - Activate them in the order shown (left to right, top to bottom). Apex of Ascension (Trial): - Switches may align with statues or braziers in the room. - Trial-and-error works if no obvious clues exist. Rewards: Loot chests (currency, maps, or Incursion items). Access to hidden areas (e.g., the Omnitect fight in Temple). Would you like help with a specific puzzle instance?
