The weekly reset just dropped a bombshell for Episode Heresy guardians – En Passant has entered the chat! 🤯 This triumph isn't your casual patrol grind; it demands solving 27 brain-melting chess puzzles in the Unknown Space. But hold your Sparrows, hotshot – you can't even start without those 60 elusive chess pieces scattered across patrol zones, the Nether, and vendor stalls. Pro tip: 33 pieces chill exclusively in the Nether, so run private instances to avoid sweatier guardians photobombing your treasure hunt.

♟️ Pathway to the Battlefield

First things first: haul your looted pieces to Eris Morn's flat in the Last City. Spot that eerie green tear? Slide through it to reach High Heresy. Now do a sharp 90-degree turn right and peer over the ledge – yep, there's a sneaky hidden room below! Jump down to find the chessboard centerpiece.

Interact with the king piece, and poof! You're miniaturized onto the board in the Unknown Antechamber. Talk about a perspective shift...

📐 Mechanics Decoded

This ain't your grandma's chess club. The battlefield uses grid coordinates: A-H (left-right) and 1-8 (bottom-top). Five glowing plates surround the board:

  • Knight 🐴 | Rook 🏰 | Pawn ⚪ | Queen 👑 | Bishop ✝️

Stepping on a plate shows your remaining moves on the HUD. Shoot grids to place pieces! Other essentials:

  • 🗑️ Delete Plate: Vaporize any piece

  • 🔄 Take Plate: Flip black pieces to white

  • 📖 Reset book & Claw Undo panel (your sanity savers!)

Warning: You absolutely need all 60 pieces – no skipping corners! Each solved puzzle shouts "Absolute Pin!" and showers:

  • Glimmer showers 💰

  • God roll weapon chances (Adept/Shiny possible!)
