Crucible Theater of Idols: How to solve the La Perla Occulta puzzle

In Chapter 1 of Crucible Theater of Idols, you encounter one of the first major obstacles in the campaign: the La Perla Occulta puzzle. It often causes confusion because the game doesn't provide a direct answer. You need to observe the environment, read documents, and connect the dots. See how to solve it!

Where does the enigma of La Perla Occulta begin?

During your exploration of the area known as La Perla Occulta, you will find six rooms connected to six women who lived there. Each door is identified by a letter (from A to F), and at some point, a mechanism will appear where the names must be entered correctly.

This section of Crisol Theater of Idols is not optional. The secret door blocks the main campaign progression. In other words, solving the puzzle is not a secondary detail: it's what keeps the story moving forward. Before attempting to solve it, it's worth carefully exploring the area. There are exposed documents, cracks that reveal objects in the rooms, and small environmental clues that make all the difference. 

The correct order of the names

If you just want the straightforward solution, here it is:

• A – Nereid
• B – Nymph
• C – Ondine
• D – Delfina
• E – Galena
• F – Breeze

How do we solve the puzzle?

The secret to this segment of Crisol Theater of Idols is cross-referencing information. There are written records describing the women's characteristics, and there are visible elements within the rooms.

The logic works like this:

• Read the documents carefully.
• Observe the prominent objects in each room.
• Match the description with the object.
• Use elimination when necessary.

Room A – Nereida

In the documents, Nereida is described as very ill. Looking at room A, one detail immediately stands out: a wheelchair. This object isn't there as random decoration. It serves as a direct clue. By cross-referencing the information about her health condition with the presence of the wheelchair, the connection becomes clear.

Therefore: Room A corresponds to Nereid.

Room B – Nymph

One of the notes mentions that Ninfa had a son . When you peek into room B, you find a crib. A crib immediately suggests the presence of a child. This connection is clear and leaves little room for doubt. The setting confirms what the text suggests.

Therefore, room B should be named Nymph.

Room D – Delfina

In room D, there is a knife hidden under the pillow . This detail directly relates to the records stating that Delfina kept a knife there. It's practically a self-evident clue. If there's a knife under the pillow, and the document mentions someone hiding a knife in that exact spot, the connection is direct.

Therefore, room D belongs to Delfina.

Room F – Breeze

In room F, the bathroom shows clear signs of structural problems: leaks and visible damage. Records indicate that Brisa complained about water infiltration. When you combine the complaint described in the texts with the physical state of the bathroom, the association is confirmed.

Therefore, F corresponds to Breeze.

Room E – Galena

Galena appears in the records as someone who complained about the noise from construction work near Brisa's room. Analyzing the positioning of the rooms, you notice this proximity. Furthermore, there are marks in the environment that reinforce that the space carries signs consistent with what is described about her.

With the previous associations made, Galena's connection to room E fits coherently.

Room C – Ondina

After identifying A, B, D, E, and F, the fourth person, C, remains. But it's not just a blind elimination. Ondina appears linked to darker events in the records. By cross-referencing the remaining information and analyzing what doesn't fit the other descriptions, C is confirmed as Ondina.

Entering the names correctly

When interacting with the mechanism near the purple globe, enter the names exactly as they appear in the documents. Any spelling errors may prevent the door from opening. After correct entry, the secret passage will be unlocked in Crucible Theater of Idols.

What happens after the secret door opens?

With the path cleared, you proceed to a room containing a body. Interact with it as the game instructs. Next:

• Follow the path through the tunnel.
• Activate the mechanism on the next door.
• Confront the enemy that is advancing directly towards you.
• Go up the stairs.
• Interact with the door to obtain the T-shaped wrench.
• Use it to open the locked gate and proceed to the outside area.

Now that you know how to solve the La Perla Occulta puzzle in Crisol Theater of Idols , you can move forward with more confidence, at least until the next dark corridor brings a new surprise. Finally, Crisol Theater of Idols is available for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S|X.
