How to solve the Wisdom Puzzle in Stellar Blade

If you’d rather just slice up some Naytiba in Stellar Blade than do math, we’ll handle the brainwork of Wisdom Puzzle for you.

Main story missions, side quests, and puzzles galore will fill your time in Stellar Blade. In fact, one Stellar Blade side quest adds a puzzle to the mix, known as Wisdom Puzzle.

This request is a Bulletin Board mission you can pick up while in Xion. Similar to its predecessor, Simple Puzzle, the anonymous requester has a numeric code for you to unscramble.

We'll walk you through how to do so!

The Wisdom Puzzle in Stellar Blade is much trickier than the first one you can accept. And that's why we're here. So, head to the Bulletin Board in Xion to find the request with this message:

"Oh! You're pretty good. Should I give you a harder puzzle to solve?

37#21 = 928

77#44 = 3993

123#17 = 14840

71#6 = ?"

It is up to you to figure out what number should be where the question mark sits. That's the code for the input device the requester requires of you. Unfortunately, the same method from Simple Puzzle won't work for Stellar Blade's Wisdom Puzzle.

Don't worry, we've got the math for you:

  • Square the first number of the line
  • Square the second number of the line
  • Subtract the second answer from the first answer to get your code

For example, in the first line, if you square 37, you get 1,369. Then square 21 to get 441. Now take that 441 and subtract it from 1,369 to get 928. If you aren't aware, to square a number, you just multiply that number by itself to get the answer.

For the unanswered line that gives us the code, you'll find that if you square 71, you get 5,041. After that, square 6 to get 36. Finally, do the subtraction to get the Wisdom Puzzle code of 5005 in Stellar Blade.

So, now you just need to follow these steps to complete the request:

  1. Track the request after accepting it from the Bulletin Board
  2. Head to the input device near the elevator for the Presence Chamber
  3. Interact with the input device
  4. Enter the code 5005
  5. Return to the Bulletin Board to complete Wisdom Puzzle
