Super Smash Bros Ultimate Sacred Land: Everything You Need to Know

Smash Ultimate's Sacred Land is built around puzzles, mostly dished out by owl statues in the area's two regions. There are four puzzles in total players can complete in Sacred Land, starting with the clock-like area featuring two concentric rings of torches.

To complete the puzzle, speak to the owl statue at the north edge of the area. It should tell you a time — 12:10. Once you have that, return to the rings of torches. Starting at the north-most torch in each ring, each torn represents an hour on a clock. The top of the circle is 12, then moving clockwise through one, two, three and so on. The inner, orange torches are the hour and the outer blue the minutes.

Set the clock to 12:10 by lighting the top-most orange flame and the blue flame two positions clockwise of that. That should complete the puzzle.

The clock holds another puzzle: unlocking the Mii Brawler. To do that, set the clock to 4:40 after setting it to 12:10.

Moving east to the Lost Woods area, you will have to talk to the owl statues to receive directions. Talking to the owl at the entrance to the forest enough times will make it share directions that pass through a hidden path. Following those will bring you to another statue, which will direct you to jump into the lake at the center of the forest.

Once you do so, you'll pop up at the spot from which you can remove the tree stump that prevents you from unlocking Young Link.

Similarly, jump into the chest above the lake to pop up in front of Chrom to unlock him.

With Chrom unlocked, you'll have exhausted the Sacred Lands and can move on regret-free.
