Assassin’s Creed : Wayward Minds Rift 3 Walkthrough
| Step | Objective | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Enter the Rift & Find First Echo | Run straight and climb the broken mast. The first echo is on the crow’s nest. |
| 2 | Solve the Rotating Platform Puzzle | Align the three glowing rings by using the levers in this order: Left → Right → Middle. |
| 3 | Chase the Second Echo | Jump across the illusionary platforms. Ignore the fake ground on the right — stick to the left path. |
| 4 | Defeat the Shadow Phantom | Use your pistol to break its shield, then finish with combo attacks. Don’t get greedy. |
| 5 | Final Echo & Rift Exit | Climb the glowing beam after defeating the phantom. Sync at the final anchor point to complete the rift. |
Pro Tips:
- The biggest trap in Rift 3 is the fake floor near the second echo. If it looks too perfect, it’s probably an illusion.
- Save your pistol ammo specifically for the Shadow Phantom’s shield phase.
- The rift gives better rewards if completed under 9 minutes, so move with purpose.
This rift is excellent practice for the harder ones coming later in the game. Once completed, you’ll unlock new customization options and a chunk of valuable Rift Essence.
