How do you solve the Dragon's Stone puzzle? Some puzzles in Crimson Desert have you utilizing your mystical powers to alter the environment, some have you searching for items in the environment, and some, like the Dragon's Stone puzzle, ask you to put in a lot of legwork. Thankfully, we have the answers right here if you don't fancy the trip.
Those big question marks in Crimson Desert can indicate so many things, but when you stumble across a huge hole in the ground, it's a safe bet to say something interesting is inside. Thankfully, there is! It's the Dragon's Stone puzzle, and much like the Glenbright Manor puzzle, it had us scratching our heads for a while.
How to solve the Dragon's Stone puzzle
First things first, we need to find the chamber. The Dragon's Stone chamber is in a huge hole in Thinker's Meadow, just west of Unicorn Cliff. It is carved about halfway down the sheer rock wall, and while it is covered in vines, you can see the ornate painted doorway from pretty far away.
Get rid of the vines by refracting light with your sword (LB and RB at the same time, then hold LB), then you can view a memory of several wannabe tomb raiders. There is talk about a powerful weapon inside, but don't get your hopes up.
Once inside, you will see a huge stone dragon on the far wall, two maps adorning the side walls, and a pit in the center of the room. To solve the puzzle, you need to rotate three symbols inside the pit to match their real-world locations indicated on the maps. This requires you to discern exact locations from these faded maps, which is difficult. Well, we did it, and the answers are below if you want to save yourself some time.

Above are the three symbols and their correct orientation. It can be a bit finicky to get them all perfect, but you'll know when it's right because the room begins to shake, and the door below that huge dragon statue opens up. The reward for solving the Dragon's Stone statue is an Abyss Cresset, giving you an extra skill point.
Now that you know how to solve the Dragon's Stone puzzle, you can get to work with some of the other mysteries Crimson Desert has to offer, like how Kliff gets his hair to stay so shiny when there's just so much dirt about. Maybe he read our how to steal guide, and pilfers a bunch of conditioner when nobody is looking. Who knows?
