While players will spend most of their playtime in Gotham Knights beating up baddies, the Knights experience their fair share of detective work and puzzle solving, such as the “Owl Shadow Puzzle.” The protagonists will encounter this particular puzzle during Mission 2.2, “The Powers Club,” during which an investigation into a secret society known as the Court of Owls is underway. After using a mechanism on a bust to reveal a hidden stairwell into an underground chamber, the Knights will eventually follow the trail to a large wall, indicating it serves as a secret entrance that can only be opened once a specific solution has been performed.
Owl Shadow Puzzle Solution in Gotham Knights
To solve the Owl Shadow Puzzle in Gotham Knights, players must interact with four rotating bird-piece figurines in order to align their shadows on the wall of the secret entrance. If done correctly, the three pieces should form the outline of an owl with its wings spread out to the left and its beak and talons facing to the right.

However, solving this owl puzzle in Gotham Knights is easier said than done, as all the pieces must align perfectly to match the shape required to open the wall. There are multiple ways to explain the solution. One could solve the puzzle by learning how many times to turn each of the figurines. On the other hand, they could figure out the order in which the pieces should be turned to ensure the process is carried out as smoothly as possible. Nevertheless, these methods of explanation do not take into account if players have already tampered with the puzzle pieces before looking up how to perform the solution. In other words, these solutions are only valuable if players have reset the puzzle or restarted to a previous checkpoint, which can be inconvenient.
Fortunately, GameRant has discovered a clever way of solving the Owl Shadow Puzzle in Gotham Knights using the Knights’ AR vision. Using AR, look at the gears below each of the rotating mechanisms of the puzzle. If the bright yellow line from the spotlight can be seen going through one of the four gears, this indicates the shadow piece is in the correct position. Accordingly, use the glowing yellow line visible via AR to solve this puzzle.
Gotham Knights is available on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
