♟️ How To Access The Chess Puzzle

Before flexing your chess skills, you gotta collect all 60 pieces! Most chill in the Nether (24 pieces), but others hide in sneaky spots:

Location	Pieces
Nether	24
Court of Blades	5
Drifter's Den	5
Secrets in Dreadnaught	9
Eris' Flat	4
Tower	3
Path of Resolve	3
Path of Ambition	3
Europa	2
European Dead Zone	2

Once collected, head to Eris' Apartment in the Last City. Spot that sketchy Hive Portal? Jump through it! Inside her Throne World, drop down from the main platform to find a hidden room with a chessboard. Interact when you see 'Pick up the King?' – boom, you're in the Unknown Antechamber!

🔍 Solving Middlegame: 27 Puzzle Madness

Inside, you'll see a giant chessboard (A-H columns, 1-8 rows) surrounded by interactive plates:

• Piece Plates (Pawn/Rook/Knight/Queen/Bishop): Stand on one + shoot grid to place

• Delete Plate: Yeet misplaced pieces

• Take Plate: Steal opponent's pieces

• Undo/Reset: Fix oopsie moves

You need to solve 27 checkmate scenarios! Each win triggers 'Absolute Pin' with rewards like Glimmer, Seasonal Weapons 💥, and Lore Entries. Here's the full cheat sheet:

Puzzle	Solution
1	Pawn to E6
2	Rook to H8
3	Pawn to E5
4	Knight D4, Pawn E4, Pawn F4
