Arknights: Endfield: Delver of the Cryptic Puzzle Guide

Here's a quick guide on the Delver of the Cryptic Puzzle in Arknights: Endfield.

Delver of the Cryptic gives you a break from factory planning and combat in Arknights: Endfield. Its Protocol Spaces involve puzzles and movement challenges.

Finishing a stage doesn't always mean you've collected everything inside it. Check the extra objective before entering so you know whether you're looking for hidden crates or trying to meet a challenge condition.

How to Enter the Puzzles

Open the Event Center and select Delver of the Cryptic, then choose an available spatial set. If the activity is still locked, follow the unlock requirement displayed on your account and continue the relevant main missions.

Each Protocol Space has its own layout and rules. Read its objective before starting. A timed course needs a different approach from a pressure plate room.

How to Solve Pressure Plate Rooms

Look at the exit first, then work backward through whatever keeps it closed. Follow the visible connections between switches and doors. Test one mechanism at a time so you can see exactly which part of the room changes.

In Pressure Sensitive, the opening movable crate bridges a gap so you can cross. Later, use an elevator to lift a crate onto a pressure plate. The taller crate also doubles as a platform for reaching raised ledges and storage crates.

How to Handle Crates and Moving Platforms

Before moving a crate away, check whether you still need it to hold a switch or reach another platform. Its position may solve more than one problem. Check your route before leaving it behind.

Pause before riding an elevator or lowering a shutter and look for accessible side ledges. If you're collecting the bonus crates, explore those branches while the route is open. Follow terminal connections when you're unsure which control affects a blocked passage.

How to Claim All Rewards

Clear the exit objective, then review the stage's completion record. Some rooms include three storage crates, while others use a bonus challenge. Missing the extra condition means there's still something to return for, even after a successful clear.

For timed stages, learn the route before attempting a clean run. Understand the mechanisms before chasing every reward. Completing a full series also awards a medal, with further completion requirements available for its trimmed version.

Read each stage's objective, test its mechanisms carefully, and check the bonus requirements before calling the room finished.
