How to Solve the Chapter 3 Lens Puzzles in Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Polygon outlines a clear walkthrough for solving the tricky light-redirection lens puzzles in Chapter 3 of Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, helping players unlock the elevator and complete the chapter.
Hitting a progression wall in a narrative adventure is never fun, especially when you are just trying to soak in the atmosphere. Late in Chapter 3 of Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, titled Those Before Us, players run into a pair of light redirection puzzles that block access to a vital elevator platform. While the initial setup serves as a straightforward tutorial, the subsequent chamber demands some precise positioning to get past a series of locked doors and hidden murals.
As Polygon's guide outlines, the multi-step room requires you to manipulate several lenses to reveal three hidden minotaur paintings across the chamber. You begin by interacting with the central gilded pillar, then systematically bouncing beams between specific golden disks and movable lenses. The final step involves teaming up with Leni to hoist a broken lens, allowing you to route the final beam and trigger the elevator mechanism to wrap up the chapter.
Puzzles like this highlight the delicate balance narrative games must strike between environmental storytelling and actual gameplay friction. When a spatial puzzle breaks the pacing too hard, it risks stalling the momentum of an otherwise cinematic sequence. Fortunately, a clear routing order keeps the frustration manageable so you can get back to the story.
