In the grand tradition of Toby Fox dropping surprises on Halloween, 2018 gave the world Deltarune Chapter 1. Three years later, after plenty of teasers and updates, Chapter 2 arrived on the sixth anniversary of Undertale. Now, in 2026, players are still wrestling with the same light puzzle in Queen's mansion. It's a rite of passage, really. The puzzle seems simple—colorful spotlights, rotating pieces, a smug villain watching—but it has sent many a player to the nearest walkthrough. This guide aims to be that walkthrough, but with more jokes and fewer spoilers. 🤡

Queen, the eccentric antagonist with a serial number for a name (Q5U4EX7YY2E9N, if anyone's keeping score), adores puzzles. Her mansion is a labyrinth of them, and the light puzzle is the first major roadblock. It's classic Undertale-style design: deceptively easy at first, then progressively more fiendish. But there is no need to panic, for the solution is at hand.

Puzzle One: A Face Only a Queen Could Love

The first light puzzle is a gentle introduction. Three pieces, one goal: assemble Queen's face. The player rotates each piece until the light falls just right. The order of switches matters, but not in a stressful way. The first piece goes in the upper left-hand corner. The second, smaller piece slots in as the chin. The third completes the right side of her face. That's it. No tears, no rage quits. Just a nice little warm-up before the real brain-benders.

Puzzle Two: Triangles, Pink Lights, and Mild Panic

This is where things get spicy. Not Sans-level spicy, but enough to make a player pause and reconsider their life choices. The second puzzle features four pieces and a triangular shape. The trick is the order, so players should follow the switch sequence carefully. The first piece fits in the upper right corner after a rotation. The second piece takes the bottom point. Now, here's the counterintuitive part: skip the third piece for now. Instead, adjust the fourth piece to fit next to the first. This placement reveals where the pink, third light belongs—the upper left-hand corner. Once that's in, the puzzle clicks into place. It's like a magic trick, except the only thing disappearing is the player's free time. The pink light, apparently, is a bit of a diva and demands its own special spot. 💖

Puzzle Three: Susie Saves the Day (Sort Of)

The third puzzle is a troll. None of the pieces seem to match. The shape looks like it was designed by a committee of confused cats. Players might stare at it for minutes, questioning the laws of geometry. But then, the unlikeliest hero emerges: Susie, the mean-spirited, tough-as-nails member of the party. She figures it out and tells Kris, "You just need to fill in the whole square thing, what if you just piled them all in the corners?" And she's right. The solution is to use the sides of the pieces to fill the corners, leaving at least one piece to complete the square. There are multiple valid arrangements, so experimentation is key. The picture below is a handy reference. It's a rare moment of Susie being helpful, so players can savor it. 😏

For those who prefer their solutions in table form:

Puzzle	Pieces	Solution Summary
1	3	Piece 1: upper left; Piece 2: chin; Piece 3: right side
2	4	Piece 1: upper right; Piece 2: bottom point; Piece 4: next to Piece 1; Piece 3 (pink): upper left
3	4	Fill corners with piece sides; multiple arrangements work

Once these three puzzles are solved, the player can breathe a sigh of relief and continue exploring Queen's mansion. The next segment reunites the party with Ralsei, and there are plenty more battles and puzzles to come. Deltarune Chapter 2 is currently available on PC via itch.io and Steam, and as of 2026, it remains a gem worth revisiting—or experiencing for the first time, if one has been living under a rock. 🎮

Deltarune Chapter 2 may have been out for years, but its puzzles remain a topic of discussion. Whether one is a veteran or a newcomer, the light puzzle is a shared experience. So here's to Queen, her mansion, and the colorful headaches she inflicts. 🧩

So there it is. The light puzzle is conquered. It's not the hardest challenge in the game, but it's a memorable one. And hey, at least it's not Sans. 😅

Of course, conquering Deltarune's puzzles is only one way to spend your gaming hours.
