The Seven Deadly Sins Origin Exploration Tips: Movement Tech, Puzzles, And Efficient Early Routing

The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin rewards smart movement, puzzle skipping, and efficient chest routing more than brute‑forcing fights. Learning traversal tech and doing a light exploration loop early will snowball your account without grind.​​

Movement tech and traversal tools

Origin gives you multiple ways to move faster and reach tricky spots as you progress.

• Basic movement upgrades
  • Sprinting and jump‑into‑sprint chains already move you noticeably faster than just running.​
  • Gliding and swimming open up vertical and underwater paths once unlocked, effectively doubling where you can go in the same region.​
• Mounts and flying
  • You eventually get ground and flying mounts (including Hawk) that massively improve traversal; flying mounts have a stamina bar but cover large distances quickly.​
  • With a flying mount, you can often skip older platforming puzzles and just fly to chests that earlier required jump pads or puzzle objects.​
• Hero‑specific mobility
  • Some heroes have unique traversal passives; one beta breakdown calls out King’s insane flight speed and Meliodas‑style climbing bonuses in certain builds.​
  • A trailer segment shows using Diane to create rock platforms to run across gaps, effectively letting you build your own path in some areas.​

These tools mean routing changes over time: early you respect puzzles; later you shortcut them with mounts and mobility heroes.​

Puzzle types and how to think about them

The open world mixes light environmental puzzles with traversal challenges.​​

Common patterns:

• Jump pad / moving platform puzzles
  • You place or trigger objects to bounce upward and reach trees, cliffs, or ruins hiding chests and Star Fragments.​​
  • Once you gain a flying mount, many of these become optional: you can fly straight to the top instead of solving the full sequence.​
• Environmental interaction puzzles
  • Expect mechanisms like switches, destructible rocks, elemental targets, and time‑of‑day interactions gated by exploration abilities.​​
  • Some puzzles are tied to underwater sections and weather cycles, with certain paths or collectibles only accessible when conditions match.​​
• Combat‑triggered events
  • Field bosses sometimes ambush while you hunt chests (a preview mentions Gray Demon swooping in mid‑exploration), turning passive routes into dynamic encounters.​​

Netmarble clearly built puzzles to be solvable with base movement, but speedrunners and late‑game players will use mounts and vertical tools to bypass the slower versions.​

Efficient early exploration routing

BlueStacks and early guides stress that exploring early is one of the best power plays. A clean early‑game route looks like:​

• 1. Push story until the world opens
  • Advance the main quest until you unlock the first major region hub, basic traversal, and access to side quests.​
  • Don’t over‑farm the very first zone; many systems (like gliding and mounts) unlock slightly later.​
• 2. Do a “ring” around each new region
  • Every time a new area opens, do a wide loop to grab:
    • Teleports / warp points
    • Viewpoints
    • Nearby chests and obvious Star Fragments​
  • This gives fast‑travel anchors and a chunk of free upgrade materials before difficulty spikes.​
• 3. Prioritize high‑value POIs first
  • Use an interactive‑style map or your minimap to prioritize:
    • Chests close to warps
    • Star Fragments and major landmarks
    • Easy fishing/cooking spots for early buffs​
  • Leave deep cave chains and harder puzzles for later when you have better movement and combat tools.​​
• 4. Revisit with better traversal
  • After you unlock gliding and mounts, revisit earlier regions quickly via teleports and clean up remaining collectibles and puzzles.​

This “story → ring → anchor → revisit” pattern minimizes backtracking while front‑loading resources.​

General exploration best practices

A few habits make exploring Britannia smoother and more rewarding:

• Alternate story and exploration. Pushing only story leaves you under‑geared; alternating story chapters with exploration passes keeps progression smooth.​
• Use food and cooking. Camping and meals from fished ingredients give combat and survival buffs that make deep forays safer.​
• Watch weather and time. Certain pets and events only spawn under specific conditions, so pay attention when the game hints at “only when it rains” or similar.​​

Handled this way, exploration in The Seven Deadly Sins: Origin becomes a controlled resource engine—using movement tech and smart routing to turn open‑world curiosity directly into power, not just sightseeing.
