How to easily solve the Mantis puzzle in Starfield

You will come across the Mantis puzzle in the planet Denebola I-b. As soon as you land, you’ll come across a Secret Outpost, from where you need to reach the basement to locate the puzzle. Once you reach it, you will see multiple pressure plates in front of you.

In order to solve the puzzle, you need to jump on the plates in an order where it spells “TYRANNIS“. You will start with T and then jump on the other plates accordingly. However, there is an alternate method to solve the puzzle as well.

In this case, you’ll need to hack a computer. Bear in mind that the hacking process can be quite hard as it requires Rank 3 Security Skill. Lastly, you can jump across the entire puzzle and thereby bypass the need to solve it.

Once the puzzle has been solved you will need to follow through with the mission and neutralize a few enemies along the way. Successfully performing this task will grant you the Razorleaf Spaceship and the Legendary Mantis Suit as free rewards.

So that’s how you can easily solve the Mantis Puzzle in Starfield. For more Starfield content, check out some of the guides below:
