Find Every Voxel Cube in Mysterious Presence Aniimo PS5
The Mysterious Presence quest is one of Aniimo’s most atmospheric chapters: dense fog, shifting geometry, and environmental puzzles that hide the Voxel Cube locations behind sightlines and traversal challenges. Expect vertical platforming, light-based puzzles, and a few stealthy enemy encounters that can interrupt your route. Collecting all cubes in a single run is possible but requires careful planning; many players prefer two passes: one for exploration and puzzle completion, another for cleanup and missed cubes.
This guide assumes familiarity with basic Aniimo mechanics: sprinting, dash, grapple, and the environmental scanner. If you’re new to the game, take a short warm-up run through the opening area to get comfortable with movement and camera control before attempting the full cube sweep.
How the cubes are organized in this quest
The Voxel Cube placements in Mysterious Presence fall into three categories:
Visible but hard to reach — cubes in plain sight but behind tricky platforming or timed sequences.
Hidden or camouflaged — cubes blended into the environment or behind destructible scenery.
Puzzle-locked — cubes that require solving a light, pressure, or sequence puzzle.
Understanding which category a cube belongs to helps you decide whether to detour immediately or mark it for a second pass.
Recommended loadout and settings
Before you begin, set up for success.
Controller sensitivity: Slightly higher camera sensitivity helps with quick platforming corrections.
HUD: Keep the scanner active if you want subtle hints; turn it off for a purist run.
Abilities: Equip traversal upgrades that extend dash or grapple range. These make several hidden cube jumps trivial.
Consumables: Bring a couple of health items if you plan to fight enemies while collecting.
Route strategy and timing
The most efficient approach is a clockwise sweep of the map, starting at the main gate and moving from low to high ground. This minimizes backtracking and lets you unlock shortcuts that open up higher platforms. If you prefer a stealthier approach, clear enemy patrols first and then move through the area to avoid interruptions.
Pro tip: When you reach a puzzle-locked cube, solve it immediately if the puzzle unlocks a shortcut; otherwise mark it mentally and continue the sweep.
Voxel Cube Location Guide
Below are the Voxel Cube locations for the Mysterious Presence quest. Each entry includes a short description, how to reach it, and any puzzle or enemy notes. Bold and italicized keywords highlight the most relevant terms.
Entrance Overlook Cube Found on the first raised platform after the main gate. Visible from the entrance but requires a double dash to reach the narrow ledge. Use the grapple to stabilize your landing. This cube is a good warm-up for the rest of the route.
Fog Hollow Cube Hidden in a shallow alcove behind a fog curtain. Walk through the fog and hug the left wall; a small break in the geometry reveals a recessed shelf. The cube sits on that shelf. No puzzle required, but the fog reduces visibility—move slowly.
Collapsed Arch Cube Located beneath a collapsed stone arch. Drop down through the arch’s gap and follow the rubble to a small chamber. A timed platform sequence leads to the cube; wait for the platform to rise fully before jumping.
Lantern Sequence Cube This is a puzzle-locked cube. You must light three lanterns in the correct order to open a hidden compartment. The correct sequence is hinted by the mural nearby: top, right, bottom. Light them in that order and the compartment opens.
Mirror Pool Cube Sits on an island in a shallow reflective pool. Use the stepping stones that appear when you activate the pool’s flow control valve. If you miss a stone, the pool resets—restart the valve to try again.
Watcher’s Perch Cube High above the central plaza on a narrow perch. Use the extended grapple and a mid-air dash to reach it. There’s a patrolling watcher enemy—either time your approach between patrols or take it out quietly.
Hidden Alcove Cube Camouflaged against a mossy wall. Approach from the lower tunnel and press against the wall to reveal a faint seam. Interact to reveal a small door; the cube is inside.
Echo Chamber Cube Requires solving an audio puzzle. Hit the three resonant pillars in the rhythm of the ambient hum: long-short-long. The chamber door opens and the cube is revealed.
Skybridge Cube On a fragile skybridge that collapses after a short time. Sprint across and use a mid-bridge grapple to reach a side ledge where the cube rests. If the bridge collapses, use the lower path to loop back and try again.
Sanctum Core Cube The final cube sits at the heart of the sanctum behind a multi-step puzzle. Activate the four corner pedestals in clockwise order, then stand on the central plate to raise the core. The cube appears once the core stabilizes.
Puzzle solutions and quick fixes
Puzzles in Mysterious Presence are designed to be intuitive but can be fiddly under pressure. Here are concise solutions and troubleshooting tips.
Lantern Sequence Puzzle
Inspect the mural near the lanterns for directional hints.
Light lanterns in the mural’s order: top, right, bottom.
If the compartment doesn’t open, relight the first lantern and repeat.
Mirror Pool Flow Puzzle
Locate the flow control valve near the pool’s edge.
Turn the valve until the water level drops and stepping stones appear.
If stones vanish, reset the valve and try again with a steady rhythm.
Echo Chamber Audio Puzzle
Listen for the ambient hum pattern.
Strike the resonant pillars in the same rhythm: long-short-long.
If you mis-hit, the pillars reset after a short delay—try again.
Sanctum Core Pedestal Puzzle
Activate pedestals in a clockwise order.
Stand on the central plate only after all four are active.
If the core fails to rise, check for a hidden pedestal or a nearby switch that powers the mechanism.
Combat and stealth tips while collecting cubes
Enemies in Mysterious Presence are often placed to interrupt your route. Use these tactics:
Stealth takedowns: Use cover and silent approaches to avoid alerting multiple enemies.
Hit and run: If you must fight, use dash to close distance, strike, then retreat to avoid being surrounded.
Environmental kills: Lure enemies into traps or collapsing platforms to conserve resources.
Distraction: Throw a small object or trigger a distant sound to pull a patroller away from a cube.
When to do a second pass
If you’re aiming for trophies or 100% completion, a second pass is often the most efficient. Use the first run to unlock shortcuts and solve puzzles that open new areas. On the second run, follow a strict checklist to pick up any hidden cube you missed.
Checklist approach:
Confirm all puzzle-locked cubes are solved.
Revisit high vantage points for perch cubes.
Sweep low tunnels and alcoves for camouflaged cubes.
Check the sanctum last to avoid re-triggering puzzles.
Comparison table: Single-run vs Two-run strategies
| Attribute | Single-run | Two-run |
|---|---|---|
| Time investment | Lower if flawless | Higher but more forgiving |
| Difficulty | High due to multitasking | Lower; focused tasks each run |
| Risk of missing cubes | High | Low |
| Best for | Speedrunners | Completionists |
Common mistakes and how to avoid them
Rushing puzzles: Take a breath and read environmental clues; many puzzles are solved by observation.
Ignoring verticality: Look up and down—many cubes are above or below obvious paths.
Wasting consumables: Save health items for unavoidable fights; stealth and environment often help more.
Not unlocking shortcuts: Shortcuts reduce backtracking dramatically—prioritize them.
Visual memory aids and map notes
If you prefer visual cues, mark the following on your mental map:
Red markers: Puzzle-locked cubes.
Blue markers: High-perch cubes requiring grapple.
Green markers: Hidden alcoves and camouflaged cubes.
Use these markers to plan your sweep and avoid doubling back unnecessarily.
Trophy and achievement tips
Several trophies are tied to collecting all Voxel Cube locations in the quest or completing the quest without dying. For cube-related trophies:
Collect cubes in a single run only if you’re confident with platforming and puzzles.
If a trophy requires no deaths, practice the route in a normal run first, then attempt the trophy run with full consumables and a calm mindset.
Use manual saves (if available) before risky jumps or puzzles.
Performance and accessibility considerations
PS5 performance is generally stable, but if you experience frame dips during fog-heavy scenes, try lowering motion blur or toggling ray-tracing options. For accessibility:
Use aim assist or reduced camera shake if motion causes discomfort.
Enable subtitles for audio puzzles if you have hearing sensitivity; rely on visual cues instead.
Cleanup run: exact order for minimal backtracking
For a tidy second pass, follow this order:
Start at the main gate and collect Entrance Overlook Cube.
Move to Fog Hollow and Collapsed Arch.
Solve Lantern Sequence and Mirror Pool puzzles.
Clear Watcher’s Perch and Hidden Alcove.
Finish with Echo Chamber, Skybridge, and Sanctum Core.
This order opens shortcuts progressively and keeps you moving forward.

Advanced tips for speedrunners
Sequence breaks: Some players exploit early grapple boosts to reach high cubes before unlocking certain puzzles. Practice the timing in a safe area first.
Frame-perfect jumps: Use the dash-cancel technique to extend jump distance by canceling the landing animation with an immediate dash.
Enemy manipulation: Use enemy patrol patterns to create moving platforms—lure them to trigger environmental changes that reveal cubes.
Troubleshooting: what to do if a cube doesn’t appear
Reload the area or fast-travel out and back; many cube spawns reset on area reload.
Check for missed switches or hidden pedestals that power the cube’s container.
If a puzzle seems bugged, try toggling the HUD or scanner; some triggers are tied to the scanner’s state.
