How to solve the Three Eyed Gate puzzle

You will find the Three Eyed Gate puzzle, also known as the Light Chamber puzzle, on your way to finding the Idol of Ra. You will need to direct six beams of light onto the correct symbols on the wall to open the path forward.

Step 1: Use the mirror in the main room and point it at the top-right symbol. This will open a door to your left.

Step 2: Go into this room and direct the light through the crack in the wall back into the main room.

Step 3: Now shine the main light on the top-left symbol and the right mirror on the middle symbol on the right side to open a door on the right.

Step 4: Go into this room and pick up the mirror and bring it to the empty receptacle in the other open door on the right side of the main chamber to reflect light to the third mirror in the main room.

Step 5: Use the left mirror to hit the bottom-left symbol now.

Step 6: Reposition the middle mirror to aim at the top-right symbol.

Step 7: Aim the right mirror at the middle symbol on the left.

Step 8: Turn the central mirror again, this time to the bottom right.

Step 9: Finally, use the left mirror to hit the middle symbol on the right side.

This will result in all three locks unlocking, and the gate will finally open for you.

Minecraft has spent years proving that blocks can run on practically anything with a screen. On October 27, it will finally move into a home built specifically for the Nintendo Switch 2. Mojang has confirmed that the native Switch 2 version of Minecraft will launch with Vibrant Visuals enabled by default, using the newer console’s additional power to spruce up its famously square Overworld. Existing Nintendo Switch owners will also receive a digital upgrade path, though Mojang says pricing and other details will arrive later.
