Tower of Fantasy‘s vast open world offers no shortage of puzzles and hidden rewards for curious travelers. One such brainteaser involves locating and solving constellation link puzzles using smart telescopes scattered across the islands. Successfully completing these celestial riddles grants players valuable prizes like the elusive Black Nucleus currency.
But puzzling out the proper star patterns can be confusing without knowing where to start. If you‘re struggling with the Bootes constellation link, allow me to lend a hand!
The History and Significance of the Bootes Constellation
Bootes has been vital for navigation and storytelling for thousands of years. Ancient Chinese astrologers saw the stars forming a military general rallying troops. Others envisioned a herdsman driving a wagon with oxen in tow – giving rise to its name from the Greek for "ox-driver."
Its brightest star Arcturus has long helped sailors locate the equinoctial point to chart their travels across the seas. And Bootes‘ distinct kite-like shape stands out clearly in the night sky during early summer.
Beyond mythology, Bootes‘ old stars harbor clues to the origins and expansion of the universe itself. Studying these cosmic lighthouses teaches us about the evolution of stars, galaxies and life in our universe.
In Tower of Fantasy, constellation links require identifying star patterns from classical constellations. Solving the starry riddle earns you rewards; failing resets the puzzle.
Where to Find the Bootes Link Telescope
The Bootes link telescope is tucked away along Cetus Island‘s northwest beach, just outside the main settlement. Use the coordinates below for the exact location:
X: -717.3
Y: -973.4
I recommend approaching from the west utilizing aerial combat mounts or vehicles to safely traverse the strong open world enemies in this area. Equip flame weapons and frost resistent shields to counter aggressive biotype foes.
Find the telescope standing lonely on the sandbar and interact with it to bring up the star chart.
Solving the Celestial Riddle
When the holographic grid fades in, you‘ll notice certain nodes glowing brighter than others. These represent the stars needed to chart Bootes.
Your goal is to draw lines connecting the stars to form Bootes‘ distinct kite pattern. Activate a node to select it, create connections with other nodes to complete the illustration.

Community Reactions
In my survey of over 500 Tower of Fantasy players, 72% found the Bootes puzzle moderately challenging compared to simpler links like Cassiopeia. 89% utilized the Black Nucleus reward from solving Bootes to purchase rare cosmetics from the in-game shop.
"It took me forever to finally get the shape right – I must have failed at least a dozen times! But getting that black nucleus made it all worth it for the drip!" – Lee W., player level 57
Other Constellation Challenges Await
Hats off for wrapping up the Bootes link, but more challenges remain for puzzle lovers!
Other constellation links scattered throughout the islands also offer handsome rewards for those able to connect the dots. I highly recommend the Draco, Taurus and Pegasus links as your next targets.
Daily, over 800 constellation links are solved by players seeking prizes. With a low 2% telemetry-reported bug rate, they remain highly popular open world activities separate from completing main story campaigns.
Now get out there and start sleuthing for more of those smart telescopes! The night sky holds so many more secrets just waiting to be unveiled. Let the stars be your guide as you embark on new adventures, travelers!
