How to solve Pattern Break

  1. Watch the whole group

    Do not attack at once. Watch the objects through a full movement cycle so you know the rhythm they share.

  2. Find the object moving out of sync

    The others keep the same rhythm while one object jerks, drifts or moves at a different pace.

  3. Hit the odd object

    A correct hit rearranges the pattern. A wrong hit sends out a shockwave that knocks Dylan back.

  4. Re-observe and repeat

    The new arrangement hides a new odd object. Keep finding the one that breaks the rhythm until the World Feat completes.

Correct hit and wrong hit

Correct hit

The pattern rearranges.

  • Stop attacking
  • Watch the new pattern
  • Find the next odd object

Wrong hit

A shockwave knocks Dylan back.

  • Reset your position
  • Watch the pattern again
  • Do not guess

Pattern Break FAQ

How do you solve Pattern Break?

Find the object that moves differently from the rest, hit it, then re-observe the new pattern and repeat.

What happens if I hit the wrong object?

A wrong hit triggers a shockwave that knocks Dylan back. It does not fail the World Feat.

Why did the objects change after I hit one?

A rearrangement means the hit was correct. A new odd object appears, so watch the group again.

Does Pattern Break give Zone XP?

Yes. As a World Feat, Pattern Break contributes Zone XP to the zone where you complete it.

Is the moving shack puzzle Pattern Break?

No. The Unknown Resonant uses a similar out-of-sync idea, but that puzzle belongs to its own route.
