How to Reach It
Most guide sources place Ice Cradle after Altar of Solitude in the Path of Providence Abyss route.
Do not start it if you are tilted from the previous puzzle. Ice Cradle mixes platforming, light input, and power repair, so rushing usually causes mistakes.
Before entering, confirm your Blinding Flash and Force Palm inputs. Wrong inputs make the musical section feel broken.
Puzzle Route
Enter the right-side cave near the Abyss Power Supply and climb toward the hanging fuel cell.
Use Axiom Force to carry the cell, place it correctly, and secure it with Force Palm.
For the light puzzle, guide sources list the sequence as 5-1-2-3-4-5-1-1 when numbering lights from left to right.
Return to the power supply, reconnect the conduit, climb the structure, and use Force Palm to complete the restoration.
Do Not Miss
After completion, check the newly available skybridge route before leaving.
Some guides also mention side chest opportunities around the route, so scan lower platforms instead of sprinting straight to the artifact.
