Super Quest’s Echo Chambers: Follow the Resonance

Follow the resonance glyph

A glowing resonance glyph marks each echo gate. Look for its carved lines in the first course of each world. Other stonework belongs to the course scenery.

The rooms are optional parts of courses you already know, so they don’t push the level count past 40 and they’re separate from each world’s fifth, special-challenge course. There are eight rooms across eight worlds. If you want somewhere gentle to learn the controls, start with First Light in Clover Coast.

Stand on the gate and hold Down

Stand on the flat top of the carved echo gate and hold Down (or S) on a keyboard, or pull the joystick down on a phone or tablet. Centre yourself and make sure both feet have landed before holding the direction.

Keep holding for a moment while you start to sink. Small, Growth and Ember forms can all use echo gates, so no crystal ability is required. If nothing happens, centre yourself, let go and try again once you’ve landed.

Begin with First Light

Open Levels and pick First Light. As you travel through, watch the lower route for a carved echo gate. Slow down around it instead of holding Run, because the aim is to stand at the gate’s centre and hold Down.

Inside Cloverlight Grotto, follow the shelves and gather crystal fragments before leaving through the far gate. The first chamber is a calm place to learn the resonance glyph and explore the side path.

Follow the far gate home

Every chamber has linked gates at both ends. The far gate returns you to a later point in the same course. Stand on its flat top at the centre and hold Down or pull the joystick down.

When you come out, step away from the gate before you move on. The game stops a held Down from sending you straight back through the gate you just left. Your run carries on while you’re underground, so there’s no need to restart the level or go back to the menu.

Resonance trials and hidden paths

Echo chambers are optional exploration detours. Each course has three resonance shards, for 120 across the game. If you’re going for a course mastery mark, you need its three resonance shards, the resonance trial and the treasure chest in your finishing run. Picking up the first blue crystal fragment starts the optional timer, missing it costs no life, and you can walk away and come back to retry. Decide whether you want a relaxed room visit or a mastery run before you take every side path.

If an echo gate won’t respond, check for the resonance glyph first. Then make sure your feet are on its top surface and you’re centred, and hold Down or S: a quick tap in mid-air won’t work. If you’ve just come out of a gate, walk off, release Down and approach again.

On a phone, keep the game in landscape. Turning it upright pauses play, so rotate back before you decide the echo gate is unresponsive. The controls guide covers the joystick, running and jumping if you want to practise first.
