Puzzle Location and How to Reach It

You will encounter this puzzle in the Eastern Chambers of the Dark Shrine Worship Hall. To reach it, you must first navigate the initial Door Puzzle in the area using the fox statues to progress. After solving that, you will reach a central door that leads to the chamber containing the Sakuko Light Puzzle. This room houses the four animal statues you need to manipulate.

Complete Light Puzzle Solutions by Difficulty

The core mechanic is adjusting the direction each statue faces. The solutions change dramatically between difficulties.

Story Difficulty Solution

This is the most straightforward solution. The statues must be arranged so that the Fox and Rabbit in each pair face each other.

• Left Fox: Face RIGHT
• Left Rabbit: Face LEFT
• Right Fox: Face RIGHT
• Right Rabbit: Face LEFT

Hard Difficulty Solution

For Hard mode, the pairs must face away from each other, creating a mirrored opposition.

• Left Fox: Face LEFT
• Left Rabbit: Face RIGHT
• Right Fox: Face LEFT
• Right Rabbit: Face RIGHT

Lost in the Fog Difficulty Solution

This is the most complex configuration, mixing the rules from other difficulties.

• Left Fox: Face LEFT
• Left Rabbit: Face RIGHT (They face away from each other)
• Right Fox: Face LEFT
• Right Rabbit: Face LEFT (Both face left together)

Puzzle Rewards and Progression

After correctly positioning all statues, the cages will lower and unlock. You can then retrieve the Restrain and Talon lampshades. Use these to cover the specific lights on the altar in the room. Doing so will grant you the White Rabbit Emblem Key.

Take this key back to the main Worship Hall door where Fox Mask entered. Use it on the lock on the right-hand fox statue to unlock the first door. To proceed further into the Western Chambers, you must inspect the lock on the left statue in this new area to find the key for the second door, allowing you to continue your search for Sakuko.

Tips for Solving and Understanding the Logic

The puzzle’s logic is based on clues found in Hinako’s Journal Entries. The solutions reflect different “relationships” between the fox and rabbit. On Story, they face each other (confrontation). On Hard, they face apart (separation). Lost in the Fog mixes these states. If you are stuck, double-check your game’s difficulty and ensure each statue is pointing exactly in the cardinal direction required.
