How to solve the Day & Night puzzle in Jungle Path – Sea of Stars Solstice puzzle guide

The solstice day/night puzzle in Sea of Stars is a brain-scratcher, especially since you come upon it on your first walk through the area. If you're like me, you probably spent way too long trying to solve it to no avail. Like the Solstice Shrine puzzles, it has multiple steps for you to work through, but don't worry; we have all the information you'll need to complete it successfully.

How to complete the Sea of Stars Jungle Path puzzle

The most important step in getting this puzzle completed is to make sure you first have the Solstice Amulet. The amulet will allow you to control the sun and moon without standing on the solstice prism, no matter if you choose Zale or Valere. You'll need to progress further through Watcher Island if you don't yet have it, then backtrack to Jungle Path at a later time.

Once you have it, you can head back to the puzzle beside the large waterfall and work on finally getting this puzzle solved. The goal of this puzzle is to adjust three different mirrors to somehow reflect light onto the diamond located above the statue's head. However, the mirrors and the light are controlled by the solstice shard and dial, so you'll need to take it one step at a time.

Flip through the images and follow the steps below:

1. The light you need to reflect on the mirrors is located at the far right side across the stream. However, it only appears at night, so your first step will be turning the solstice prism to the moon side. This will also ensure the mirrors are low enough for you to spin them. Use the triggers on your controller to adjust the angle of the prism until it is focusing on the large diamond on the left side. Once both diamonds on the left side are filled, it will reveal the light and lower the mirrors.
2. Now that you can see where the light is shining and have access to the mirrors, you'll need to angle each mirror properly. Keep in mind the light will not be able to reflect off them yet since they are lowered. Where the light is shining, you'll notice the first mirror it will reach is the one beside the draw bridge, so here's how you're going to want to angle each one using your wind gust ability with X or Square.
   • Draw Bridge Mirror: Face the glass all the way away from you toward the opposite mirrors and then one notch to the right so the light will touch and it will cast to the other mirrors.
   • Left Mirror: Face the glass completely toward you and then one notch to the right.
   • Right Mirror: Face the glass all the way away from you and then one notch to the left. This will perfectly cast the light onto the statue's diamond.
3. Now that the mirrors are all properly aligned, you'll need to raise the mirrors up so the light can actually reach them. To do this, you'll need to adjust to day by reangling the solstice prism with your triggers again. Stop on the large diamond on the right side and allow all the smaller diamonds to be filled up, which will then raise all the mirrors.
4. Even though you have your mirrors raised, the light cannot shine in the day, so this part will require you to be a little quick. While the mirrors are raised, quickly reangle the prism to night by angling it at the large diamond on the left. You'll want to make sure there is still at least one diamond lit on the right side, ensuring the mirrors stay up at the same time the light shines. If you have the proper timing, you'll see the light reflect off the mirrors and cast onto the diamond above the statue's head.

With the light touching the statue, it will open up an entrance to get inside. This will lead you into a little cave where you can collect a chest with some gear, as well as finally reach that Rainbow Conch chest on the ledge to the left of the statue that seemed so unobtainable before.
