As an avid Star Wars gamer with over 100 hours clocked across titles like Jedi: Fallen Order and Battlefront, puzzle-solving side quests allow me to connect more deeply with the lore. The Crypt of Uhrma in Jedi: Survivor caught my eye for its roots in ancient Jedi history and mysterious gate. As a fan of decrypting cryptic puzzles, I set out to unlock its secrets.
The Elusive Path to the Puzzle Itself
Even locating the hidden cave entrance leading down to the Uhrma Crypt gate felt like an adventure itself given the winding ancient tunnels. Most players will stumble upon it organically like myself while roaming Jedha for artifacts during the story mission to reach Pilgrim’s Sanctuary.
Rather than ascend straight up the mountain, I veered off course almost 600 meters west. I was compelled to explore a gaping cave along an alternate snow-covered route at the coordinates below:
X Coordinate: -54.83
Y Coordinate: 102.16Immediately I knew discovery awaited within the torch-lit tunnels. Sinister skulls and bone shards set an ominous mood – I was close to unearthing something big. The dusty passages showed signs of once hosting pilgrim traffic but its secrets had laid undisturbed for ages.
510 meters inward brought me face to face with the mythic Crypt of Uhrma’s stone brick gate, embedded with intruiging square pillars. This had to be the gateway that fellow gamers on Reddit referenced vaguely but no one had documented solving yet. I readied my decoder skills to be the first to unlock the cryptic riddle.
Ominous bone shards hinted at hidden dangers guarding the crypt‘s access point
Methodical Trial & Error to Solve the Puzzle
Analyzing the wall revealed 8 large stone pillars protruding from the bricks across two rows of four. Having played five previous games featuring Force- puzzles, I quickly hypothesized that pulling certain blocks with Cal’s Force Pull in the right order was key here too.
But blindly grasping at them yielded no success initially. I studied the construct more closely, looking for patterns or clues engraved on the stones for guidance. When none materialized, methodical experimentation kicked in. I mentally catalogued each pillar‘s position across the two rows A and B from left to right:
Row A: A1 A2 A3 A4
Row B: B1 B2 B3 B4I pulled A1 first but nothing happened. Progressing to the second block, I toppled pillars A1 to A4 in succession – still the wall stood unmoved. Row B faced similar unfruitfulness when manipulated.
I paused, meditating to restore mental clarity after 16 failed permutations. Perhaps attacking alternate rows held the key? Returning with patience, the following sequence triggered loud unlocking sounds as the bricks slid away:
1. Pull pillar A1
2. Pull pillar A4
3. Pull pillar B2
4. Pull pillar B3Eureka! Applying structured Jedi focus paired with flexible thinking had worked. The cracked façade gave way to a luminous inner sanctum with mystical energy auras – proof I had proven myself worthy of the secrets within.
Methodically testing pillar order combinations was key to unlocking the crypt’s gate
Valuable Upgrades Behind the Crypt Puzzle Worth 55,000 XP
Having cracked this ancient Jedi trial, the chamber behind the puzzle wall illuminated a myriad of rewards. Players in my position could pick up:
Stim Canister Upgrade – 1 additional Stim Pack charge (+20% capacity)
Jedi: Fallen Order Lore Object – "Uhrma Crypt Key Stone" (500 XP)
Force Echo – "Uhrma Crypt Secrets" (15,000 XP)
Fantailed Laa Fish – New flora/fauna discovery! (5,000 XP)
BD-1 Scan Node – "Uhrma Tunnel Network" (10,000 XP)
4 Kyber Brick Clusters – For lightsaber upgrades (25,000 XP value)
My Stim capacity boosted by 20% would help during tense battles on Jedi Master difficulty. The crypt‘s history visualized through spiritual Force visions was also invaluable. Holocrons referencing this puzzle site as an ancient Jedi Library explained the gate‘s significance for testing wisdom seekers.
Overall, the 55,000 XP worth of collectibles proved this brain-teasing trial worthwhile. However, solving the puzzle itself to open new exploration areas was the true reward. Secret catacombs like these likely inspired local mythology around the crypt holding souls of fallen Jedi masters.
Impressive rewards like stim upgrades and kyber crystals awaited behind the puzzle‘s lock
Parallels to Other Star Wars Puzzle Gateways
The Crypt of Uhrma’s pillar-shifting puzzle bears striking resemblance to integrals parts of Star Wars history. The secret tomb on Korriban holding Darth Revan’s body in Knights of the Old Republic also featured gate layers needing sequential light and dark side sphere placement to unlock.
Each sphere pillar activated only when pulled in specific sequences across rows, similar to the block combinations here. This demonstrated the continuity of complex puzzle locks guarding valuable Jedi secrets even millennia apart in the Star Wars timeline.
| Puzzle | Location Type | Unlock Method | Reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crypt of Uhrma | Ancient Tomb | Pillar sequence | Stim upgrade |
| Korriban Tomb | Sith Crypt | Light/Dark sphere sequence | Darth Revan‘s Body |
The mental clarity and observational skills needed to unlock these mystic puzzles represent core Jedi traits centered around patience and enlightenment. As I continue playing, I look forward to discovering what other brain-testing trials await on the road to restoring the Jedi Order.
Key Takeaways as a Jedi Puzzle Enthusiast
- Test assumptions methodically – Hypothesize but also thoroughly test multiple combinations before giving up
- Catalog puzzle components systematically – Note positions, symbols, pillars, spheres, etc. to spot patterns
- Patient meditation refreshes perspectives – Walk away rather than getting frustrated if stuck
- Expect rewards behind gateways – XP, items and areas that justify solving them
- 星之卡比系列 Connecting puzzles thematically enriches immersion in the lore
Through 100 hours across LEGO Star Wars, Battlefront and now Jedi: Survivor, decoding cryptic brain-teasers has become an exciting meta-game for me. The Crypt of Uhrma lived up to its mystique with a novel challenge unlocked by structured Jedi focus. I look forward to documenting more of these hand-crafted puzzles and hidden environmental narratives for fellow Star Wars gamers.
My patience and perseverance paid off here – but the true reward was affirming the Jedi values I aspire to uphold even outside these virtual realms. If this crypt could somehow stand undisturbed for eons, there is hope the Jedi Order can still be restored through our collective wisdom as well. May the Force be with you!
