Common Mistakes to Avoid

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I complete Golden Scapegoat puzzles in any order in Nightmare’s Echo?
Yes, all four Golden Scapegoat puzzles can be completed in any order once you’ve unlocked the Nightmare’s Echo area. However, following the numbered sequence (1→2→3→4) provides the most efficient route since each puzzle location flows naturally to the next via Mistletoe flight paths, minimizing backtracking and exploration time.
Q: What happens if I input the wrong direction during a Golden Scapegoat puzzle?
Incorrect directional inputs cause the Golden Scapegoat to hit walls or dead ends, automatically resetting the puzzle to its starting position. You must restart the entire directional sequence from the beginning. There’s no penalty beyond time lost—you can attempt puzzles unlimited times until successful. Double-check each direction before confirming to avoid frustration.
