The Riddle of Pristine Peaks is a side quest in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope that sends you to find Professor Backpack near the top of the mountain, where three rotating Rabbid statues need to be set in the right order to earn a Planet Coin. This guide covers how to get to the riddle from the Winter Palace, how to read the in-game clue, and the exact rotation solution so you can solve it on the first try and move straight on to the next objective.

How to Reach the Riddle
Starting from the Winter Palace, head south and then climb uphill, keeping to the right side of the mountain. Look for a white pipe and slide through it.
Continue upward past the Who You Gonna Call? side quest and down a short ladder, then past the colourful Secret Zone entrance. Follow the coin trail uphill until you reach a second white pipe.
Go through it. At the top you will find a cannon – use it to reach the area where Professor Backpack is waiting. Talk to him to start the side quest and receive the riddle clue.
The Side Quest Riddle entry says following:
“The sun beat down upon Pristine Peaks, sweat glistened on Rabbid cheeks…”
-> That’s the one to the left.
“Rabbids set themselves on a task, to sculpt a refrigerating stone mask!”
“It will brathe cool air upon our backs! But then came Cursa’s dark reprisal.”
-> That’s the one in the middle.
“The mask was corrupted with a Tentacle’s arrival. It’s icy roar threatened all survival.”
->That’s the one to the right.
How to Read the Riddle Clue
The side quest entry gives you a three-part poem that describes each Rabbid statue from left to right:
The first line – “The sun beat down upon Pristine Peaks, sweat glistened on Rabbid cheeks…” – refers to the left Rabbid. The second section – about Rabbids sculpting a refrigerating stone mask – refers to the centre Rabbid. The final line – about the mask being corrupted by a Tentacle’s arrival – refers to the right Rabbid.
Riddle of Pristine Peaks Solution
Rotate the left Rabbid until it shows a Sun on its head. Rotate the centre Rabbid until it shows a Mountain with an Open Mouth on its head. Rotate the right Rabbid until it shows a Mountain with Tentacles on its head.
Once all three are set correctly you receive a Planet Coin. There is also an additional reward nearby – make sure to collect it before moving on.
