To solve all Mystic Lock puzzles quickly in Forspoken. Contrary to belief, you don't need to solve them in the intended way and get each tile in the correct spot; you can do it by simply connecting a singular pipe from the two symbols. Or you can turn off this entirely and open Puzzle Locks automatically from the settings.
While zipping around Athia, you'll find treasure chests with Mystic Locks, meaning you can't simply open them like a regular chest. Instead, you need to move pipe tiles to connect two symbols together to get the lock to unseal. And if you don't know about the following trick, you may find yourself stumped on a few. Because Mystic Lock puzzles are randomly generated in Forspoken, there's no set answer for each locked treasure chest.
Simply shuffle the tiles around until the two symbols are diagonal, and then move an L-shaped pipe tile to connect them. If done correctly, the pipe will light up green, and the Mystic Lock will open, rewarding you with that chest's precious loot.
Note that not every L-shaped tile will work, depending on the puzzle's available tiles. But as long as it has a right angle (see the screenshot above), you should be able to connect the two symbols together with shimmying rather than getting every tile in the right place as intended. And as long as they're connected, the chest will open.
