All 16 Golden Scapegoat puzzle locations and solutions in Honkai Star Rail

The land of Amphoreous in Honkai: Star Rail is shrouded in mystery and holds multiple secrets. One of the things you may come across is the Golden Scapegoat puzzle.

In the Golden Scapegoat puzzle, you must navigate your goat one step at a time to reach the altar. After a certain number of steps, a shadow will appear that will follow the same route as you only for that number of steps. Getting in touch with that shadow will fail and reset the puzzle. Completing Golden Scapegoat puzzles also starts and progresses the Golden Scapegoat mission.
