The “Path of Serpents” puzzle in Serpent’s Head Valley, Crimson Desert, is solved in just six moves. You’ll use the “Axiom Force” (L3) to rotate platforms and connect the batteries on the left and right walls with a blue beam.
Below is a step-by-step walkthrough with visual cues so you won’t get stuck.

Column 3, Row 1: On the starting platform, rotate clockwise until the blue beam lines up with the path on the right.
Column 4, Row 4: At the end of the blue path, rotate the platform counter-clockwise to light the path on the left.
Column 3, Row 2: Inactive platform above the first one. Spin it clockwise so it illuminates the remaining platforms on the left.
Column 1, Row 3: Rotate this platform clockwise until its beam meets the left tower, activating the battery.
Column 3, Row 5: Turn the platform clockwise to light up two platforms on the right and the rest on the left.
Column 5, Row 3: Rotate the platform counter-clockwise so its path leads to the battery on the right wall.
Once both batteries are active, the central chamber opens. Watch out for the lasers—they deal damage. Inside, climb the wall in the central ring, grab the object, and trigger the “Force Palm” (R3).
This starts the wind turbine. Ride its updraft with your wings (Square) to fly up and claim the Abyss artifact.
