Tower of Fantasy‘s constellation links offer satisfying brain-teasers that reward exploration. Each telescope puzzle features a different mythical constellation for you to recreate among the stars. One of the most accessible is the Lepus link, forming the shape of a hare. Read on for a complete guide to locating this puzzle and mastering the Lepus constellation solution.
Introduction to Tower of Fantasy‘s Constellation Links
Tower of Fantasy is an open world RPG brimming with mysteries to uncover. One such puzzle activity awaits adventurers who locate special telescopes scattered across the alien planet of Aida.
These devices visualize constellation outlines against a gorgeous night sky vista. By connecting stars within the telescope‘s view, you recreate mythological constellations like Orion, Ursa Major, and of course – Lepus.
Completing a constellation rewards you with treasures such as Black Nuclei or Dark Crystals. Plus, you‘ll get to bask in the glow of your stellar handiwork.
The constellation links encourage you to traverse Tower of Fantasy’s sprawling maps. Tracking down each location turns into a rewarding scavenger hunt. Once you find a telescope, you’ll need to crack the starry puzzle to earn your loot.
With 13 zodiac constellation links in total, you‘ll get plenty of chances to flex your connect-the-dots skills. Some shapes are simpler, like Lepus, while others provide stiffer challenges with intricate curves.
Now let’s jump into locating the Lepus link and tips for completing this hopping, frolicking hare constellation.
The Story Behind Lepus the Hare
In Greek mythology, Lepus the Hare represents a former companion of Orion placed in the stars. Orion was a great hunter who pursued Lepus while traveling with his two faithful hunting dogs represented by Canis Major and Canis Minor constellations.
These four constellations are grouped together in the night sky, with Lepus positioned below Orion as the hunter’s prey. While Orion is visible in both hemispheres, Lepus appears under the Orion constellation primarily from the Northern Hemisphere.
There are varying myths around Lepus and Orion. In one popular legend, Orion began hunting Lepus to impress the goddess Artemis. Orion then proceeded to kill every animal in the goddess’ sacred grove. Furious, Artemis banished Orion from the skies.
In another telling, Orion pursued Lepus against Artemis’ wishes, so she turned Orion’s dogs against him. Orion drowned fighting the dogs before all four were turned into constellations by Zeus.
Regardless of the backstory details, Lepus retains a reputation as a timid, hunted creature in the night sky who Orion eternally chases across the stars.
Locating the Lepus Constellation Link Telescope
Now that you know a bit about Lepus’ origins, it’s time to track down the telescope to recreate this constellation.
The Lepus link can be found southeast of Navia Bay on Aida. Specifically, head to the following coordinates:
- -276.4, -514.7
You’ll find the smart telescope on a small, round island near a distinctive floating structure resembling a UFO. Refer to the map below for the exact location:

Solving the Lepus Constellation Link Puzzle
When you first activate the Lepus link telescope, you‘ll see a scattered pattern of stars like this:
[Starting Lepus constellation image]It‘s up to you to connect the dots in the correct order to properly trace the shape of Lepus the hare.
Here is a step-by-step guide to solving the puzzle:
-
Start with the central star – This is the anchor point for the constellation, representing Lepus‘ belly. Select it first.
-
Connect the two stars above – These form the hare‘s ears, angled upward. Draw lines from the center to each ear tip.
-
Link the upper left star – This completes Lepus‘ head. Note the angle leaning left.
-
Join the lower right star– Here you‘ll create the body and hindquarters.
-
Connect the final leg star – Attaching the last star completes the hind legs and finishes the shape.
Follow those steps in order while visualizing a rabbit shape. Avoid criss-crossing lines or backs-tracking. Work methodically from Lepus‘ middle outward.
Once all joints are connected, you‘ll see the glowing outline of your completed constellation – an adorable cosmic bunny!

Tips for Solving Constellation Links
Here are some handy tips for tackling the constellation link puzzles:
-
Start from the central star – Find the anchor point that forms the body. Build outward from there.
-
Envision the final shape – Know if you‘re making a rabbit, dragon, etc before starting.
-
Avoid crisscrossing – Work in a logical order from one end to the other. Don‘t jump randomly.
-
Zoom your view – Pan and zoom the camera angle if you need a clearer view of certain stars.
-
Double check connections – Before assuming it‘s wrong, verify every joint is actually linked.
-
Work quickly for bonuses – There are time achievement rewards for faster solving!
With practice across a few links, connecting constellations will feel natural. Soon you’ll impress even astronomy experts with your star chart skills.
Lepus vs. Other Constellation Link Difficulty
Now that you‘ve mastered the basics with Lepus, let‘s see how it compares to other stargazing puzzles:
Lepus – Easy
With just 5 stars in a simple bunny shape, Lepus makes for an accessible introductory constellation. Once you have the hang of the puzzle mechanics, go ahead and move on to tougher challenges.
Cassiopeia – Moderate
Its distinct W shape has more intricate angles than Lepus but fewer points to connect than harder puzzles. A step up in difficulty without too frustrating.
Cygnus – Hard
This swan-shaped pattern will put your skills to the test. The long neck and wing shapes involve careful line placement for a smooth solve.
Lyra – Very Hard
As one of the more difficult puzzles, connecting Lyra‘s small harp shape takes patience. Intersecting lines mean you‘ll need to zoom and pan the camera carefully during the process.
Based on community feedback, the chart above summarizes how Lepus ranks among other available constellation puzzles. It’s a great starter to get comfortable with the link mechanics before trying trickier silhouettes.
