Block Tales Temple of the Red Sun Puzzle Guide

The Red Sun Temple uses colored-orb gates, a torch memory sequence and rotating mirrors. The Shovel comes after the mirror puzzle; Temple Guardian waits at the bridge beyond.

Colored-orb room

Match the orbs to their colored pedestals. The movable green pedestal upstairs needs pushing into place so both green orbs can open the green gate. The main exit needs the blue and yellow gates. A separate secret uses the black pedestals for Call: Calypso.

Torch sequence

Press the starting button and wait for the complete torch pattern. Then hit the corresponding buttons with Ball in the same order. The three rounds use two, three and four torches respectively; completing them drops an Ancient Key.

Mirror room and Shovel

Move the green window pedestal to activate the beam, then use Sword to rotate mirrors toward the other yellow orb. Beyond that room, take the Shovel and finish Flocci’s conversation. Use it for the sand obstacles on the onward path.

Bridge battle

Recover at the pad before Temple Guardian. During the story fight the Special tab is locked, and you must defeat both hands before the head. The aftermath leads to Red Sun River.
