Monolith Crown is an Abyss Puzzle in Crimson Desert that players can access after returning to the Crow’s Nest Abyss location after the Crowcaller boss fight. There’s a large metallic cube in the area that has several light beams on its sides, and players need to rotate it in such a manner that each light beam hits a blue glowing stone on the walls. It’s one of the more complicated abyss puzzles, as the position of light beams shifts when you rotate the cube, and this guide will show you the easiest way to solve the puzzle.

Monolith Crown Cube Abyss Puzzle Solution in Crimson Desert
The Monolith Crown Abyss Puzzle is part of the Spire of Soaring Abyss puzzles that players will eventually access during the Black and White questline in Crimson Desert’s Chapter 5: Guest Unbidden.
Once players finish the Crowcaller boss fight, they’ll return to land to finish off the chapter. However, players can later fast travel back to the Crow’s Nest Abyss Nexus and access the next Abyss Puzzle in the Triangle Ring, called Monolith Crown.
Once you activate the Abyss Nexus fast travel point in Monolith Crown, head forward into the structure and keep going until you arrive at the Abyss gate. Turn left from the Abyss Gate, and you’ll see a floating platform next to it that you can glide to and use your Axiom Force to activate a switch to start rotating the large cube puzzle.
Now you can control the large cube in the middle of the room. The main goal is to direct all the light beams coming off the sides of the cube toward the blue-glowing stones on the wall.
However, the light beams on the side of the cube can shift position depending on how the cube is rotated. While it’s tricky, you can check out the solution below to quickly solve the Monolith Crown cube Abyss Puzzle in Crimson Desert.
Make sure the cube is back to its default position before following the solution below. You can reset the puzzle back to its original state by simply fast-traveling to the Monolith Crown’s Abyss Nexus fast travel node.
- From the starting position, turn the Camera to “Right” and press the D-Pad “Right” twice.
- Turn the Camera “Left” and press the D-Pad “Up” button once.
- Turn the Camera “Left” again, and press the D-Pad “Up” button.
- Turn the Camera to “Right”, and press the D-Pad “Up” button.
- Rotate the Camera back to “Left”, and press the D-Pad “Up” button.
- Finally, press the D-Pad “Left” button without rotating the camera.
Once you’re done, the main Abyss Mechanism on top will be activated. All you need to do is head back up to the Abyss Gate and use the Force Palm on the mechanism to complete the Monolith Crown laser cube puzzle in Crimson Desert.
