The Great Tomb of the Nameless Titan (Universal Matrix) contains four Golden Scapegoat puzzles. Here's how to find and solve each one:

Universal Matrix Golden Scapegoat #1

Location: Found in the big room above the Tranquil Tomb Gate Space Anchor. You'll need to shift the time to Evernight and cross to the other side.

Solution: Left, Left, Right, Down, Right, Right, Left

When your past self appears, head to the left and step on the yellow button. Continue left and climb up the ladder, then cross the gap to reach the altar.

Universal Matrix Golden Scapegoat #2

Location: Located in the western side of the map. Use the Data Advection Sector: Entrance Space Anchor, head right, and follow the path to the end.

Solution: Left, Left, Left, Right, Right

After your past self appears, head to the portal on the left, then move once to the right to fall down to the altar.

Universal Matrix Golden Scapegoat #3

Location: Found in the eastern side of the map. Use the Tidal Cooling Sector: Connection Point Space Anchor, head to the center platform, then go left.

Solution: Left, Left, Right, Down, Right, Right, Right

When your past self appears, step on the blue button to your left, then go right to fall to the lowest platform. Step on the yellow button to the right and head all the way left to reach the altar.

Universal Matrix Golden Scapegoat #4

All Radiant Scarwood Golden Scapegoat Locations in HSR 3.6

The Grove of Epiphany (Radiant Scarwood) also features four Golden Scapegoat puzzles:

Radiant Scarwood Golden Scapegoat #1

Location: Found by using the Golden Bough of Gnosis Space Anchor. Climb the stairs to find the scapegoat next to a person facing the wall.

Solution: Right, Down, Right, Right, Right

Backtrack immediately after spawning and only then enter the teleporter. This ensures the teleporter reactivates, bringing your shadow to press the blue button for you.

Radiant Scarwood Golden Scapegoat #2

Location: In F1 of Radiant Scarwood. Use the Chasmic Geocore Space Anchor, go through the Janus Passage, and head left to find it between some enemies.

Solution: Right, Right, Right, Right, Left

This puzzle is straightforward – head down to the orange button to activate the teleporter, while ensuring your shadow doesn't interfere.

Radiant Scarwood Golden Scapegoat #3

Location: Eastern side of F1. Use the Teary Court Ruins Space Anchor and complete Bartholos's Troubles Adventure Mission to drain the water. The scapegoat is inside the previously submerged gate.

Solution: Right, Right, Left, Left, Right, Right, Right, Right, Right, Left

This complex solution requires careful timing between you and your shadow to activate buttons and bridges in the correct sequence.

Radiant Scarwood Golden Scapegoat #4

Location: South side of F1. Use the Sealed Chamber Space Anchor, take the elevator down, and the scapegoat is right after you exit.

Solution: Left, Down, Right, Right, Right, Right, Right

Avoid the teleporter initially and head left and down the ladder before moving to the edge of the second level. You and your shadow will help each other reach the bottom layer.
