If you’re trying to solve theZero Hour floor puzzleinDestiny 2, chances are you’re trying a legend run, but didn’t realise that the combination changes depending on the difficulty and the elemental threat. For those that don’t know, the new, or technically old, Zero Hour exotic mission has a section where you have to walk through a room full of tiles in a certain order—pick the wrong one and you’re cooked, literally.Usually, there’s a diagram showing the route on a wall in the vault itself, but the lovely encounter designers over at Bungie decided to remove that for legend difficulty, meaning you have to use trial-and-error, or look at our cheeky solutions down below. Since you only have 20 minutes to complete legend Zero Hour, there’s no time to waste figuring out floor patterns. This is especially true if you’re trying to find the switches in theOutbreak Refinedquest.Luckily, there’s a switch you can activate to turn off the floor once you get through, but either way, make sure to check what the daily threat on the mission is, and find your relevant Zero Hour floor puzzle solution in the sections below.Arc threat floor puzzle combinations(Image credit: Bungie/Sean Martin)Just in case you can’t see the image of the floor pattern above, for normal difficulty the route is:Two tiles forward via the fourth tile from the leftThree tiles leftThree tiles forwardTwo tiles rightOne tile backTwo tiles rightTwo tiles forwardAnd for legend the solution is:Two tiles forward via the leftmost tileThree tiles rightThree tiles forwardThree tiles leftOne tile forwardVoid threat floor puzzle combinations(Image credit: Bungie/Sean Martin)Same as above, without the image, the solution for normal is:Three tiles forward via the leftmost tileTwo tiles rightOne tile backTwo tiles rightThree tiles forwardFour tiles leftOne tile forwardAnd for legend difficulty:Five tiles forward via the leftmost tileTwo tiles rightTwo tiles backTwo tiles rightThree tiles forwardSolar threat floor puzzle combinations(Image credit: Bungie/Sean Martin)Finally, on solar threat, the floor pattern for normal is:Three tiles forward via the centre tileTwo tiles leftTwo tiles forwardFour tiles rightOne tile forwardAnd for legend:Two tiles forward via the leftmost tileOne tile rightOne tile forwardThree tiles rightTwo tiles forwardThree tiles leftOne tile forwardIf you want a visual guide of someone running through each of these, I recommend checking outEsoterickk’s videowhich collates all six possible combos.
