Yxtta Riddle Event Guide
This event may seem confusing at first but is actually simple once you have all the information. You’ll notice there are 6 rooms along the sides. Clear out the targetable trash mobs near these rooms before beginning. The big golems in the middle don’t attack and can be ignored.
First, you’ll want to enter one of the rooms and click on an idol. There are two idols per room, one on the right and the left. Clicking any of them will start an emote (riddle) process. Based on the riddle you get, you’ll need to click on a corresponding idol (see map screenshot). I have listed all of the emotes below. Just read your emote in-game, find it in the list below, then use the map to find and click corresponding idol. You’ll need to repeat this process until you have completed 12 emotes. If you click an incorrect idol 2x trash mobs spawn.
It will take a minute before you can click on an idol after getting an emote. Be patient. I recommend watching the
>> YouTube Video << on this event to get an idea of the pace of the emotes. The entire event takes around 10-15 minutes.
The 13th and final emote indicates the hidden door/wall to the Primals has been unlocked:
Note: I reviewed my logs for emote typos after doing the event a couple times, but some punctuation may still be slightly off for emotes I did not get. If you see any typos let me know.
