In Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, players will bump into a Rabbid NPC known as Professor Backpack. Of course, he has a massive purple backpack full of trinkets that any explorer would have. The professor will have several riddles for players to solve in order to receive a special reward. One of the puzzles that players might want to figure out is the Riddle of Pristine Peaks, the second planet in the turn-based strategy title. This guide will show players how to solve the puzzle to work their way to fully completing the adventure.

Pristine Peaks Riddle Hints

Players will have three stone figures in front of them, each with a different image on the top of its head. However, players must go to each statue and change the image to the correct one.

Professor Backpack will give players a hint about each statue's solution:

  • Statue on the left: "The sun beat down upon Pristine Peaks, sweat glistened on Rabbid cheeks."
  • Statue in the middle: "Rabbids set themselves on a task to sculpt a refrigerating stone mask! It will breathe cool air upon our backs!"
  • Statue on the right: "But then Cursa's dark reprisal. The mask was corrupted with a Tentacle's arrival. Its icy roar threatened all survival."

To solve the puzzle for Prof. Backpack, players need to rotate the icons on the statues to fit the hints. Here's the complete solution for those that can't figure out the answer:

  • The statue on the left should have the icon of the sun.
  • We don't know what the icon actually is, but the middle statue should have the icon between the mountain and the bird pictures.
  • And last but not least, the statue on the far right should have the icon of the mountain.

After solving the riddle, Mario + Rabbid Sparks of Hope players will unlock another Planet Coin to use at the merchant's shop at Pristine Peaks. The robot item seller will have loads of helpful stuff for battles, as well as Memories, Skins, and a key for unlocking a special secret challenge area.

Players will also get to open a chest containing a Star Potion. This is used to level up Sparks without the need for Star Bits. However, there's a limited number of Star Potions in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, so players should be careful not to use them all at once.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope is available for the Nintendo Switch.
