How to Solve the Simple Puzzle Mission in Stellar Blade
Number-based puzzles are a bane of any gamer, until you know what you're doing.
Stellar Blade doesn’t just rely on slick combat and memorable characters to make its players have fun. There are soda can collectibles to pick up, and even interesting mathematical puzzles to solve! There’s even a fishing mini-game, believe it or not.
It can be easy to get lost in Shift Up’s brilliant new world, with so many lovingly detailed areas to explore, lore to uncover, and side quests to keep up with. But this simple early game puzzle shouldn’t take you too long, and grants Eve some cool rewards in the process!
The Problem’s On the Board
You reach the city of Xion early on in the main story. Once here, take note of the path to the Presence Chamber elevator which you take to speak to Orcal.

The Xion Bulletin Board contains a curious mission for you: the Simple Puzzle, which asks you to input a secret code into a panel near that elevator, and within this guide, we’ll explain what and how to do it, with some math involved!
Solving the Simple Puzzle Mission in Stellar Blade
While the solution to the Simple Puzzle is fairly simple, it certainly isn’t obvious. Take the sample sequences for instance. You find that the left-hand side of each equation comes with a series of numbers, while the right-hand side has six numbers in a sequence.
You are tasked with generating the right sequence for the numbers 5,6 and 7.

The solution is to treat the right-hand sequence as three two-digit numbers. The first of these two-digit numbers is the product of the first two digits on the left-hand side (5 x 6 = 30).
The second two-digit number is the product of the second two digits on the left-hand side (6 x 7 = 42).
The third two-digit number is the sum of the first and third numbers on the left-hand side multiplied by the second [(5 + 7) x 6 = 72].
Putting them together, the passcode you need to enter into the terminal is 304272. Doing so gives you a couple of Vitcoins and 1000 Gold, which can make a lot of difference in the early stages of the game!
