The Starfield puzzle with the spinning rings in Temple Eta isn’t the easiest thing to solve.
The Starfield temple puzzle can be found during the mission Into the Unknown, where you are floating around Temple Eta and several spinning rings. The temple is encountered just after you have solved the Starfield scanner distortions puzzle, but nothing you learned from that puzzle will help you much in this puzzle, as it is a completely different puzzle with entirely different rules. We are going to explain how to solve the Starfield Temple Eta puzzle below, along with what you need to do with all those spinning rings you see around the temple.
What to Do in Temple ETA in Starfield During Into the Unknown
There isn’t a lot of information about how to solve the Starfield temple puzzle during Into the Unknown, so here’s a brief explanation:
1. As you enter, you’ll start floating in anti-gravity and a spinning set of rings will appear in the middle of the room.
2. You need to look around and find small flickering pockets of light that appear around the room. Only one will appear at a time, and they disappear quickly.
3. When you see one, quickly boost towards it as fast as you can with the sprint button. If you hit it, a musical noise will sound and the central rings will spin faster.
4. The time limit to catch them gets shorter each time you hit one, so you’ll need to be fast. Still, you’re not reset if you miss any of them.
5. After catching four lights, the rings in the middle will spin and form into a single, unmoving ring.
6. Fly into the ring itself to get your reward – one of the Starfield powers, and then spat out of the Temple.
Having said that, this is a process that is worth remembering, since there are multiple temples across Starfield, and you will need to repeat it each time you visit a new temple.
