The Shadow Theater in SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake is one of the first puzzle objectives you’ll eventually encounter as you progress through the main story. This one has a fairly obvious solution, although some people may miss it. As such, this guide will show you a complete Shadow Theater Puzzle Solution and Walkthrough, so read on.
How to Reach The Shadow Theater
After you unlock the Halloween Rock Bottom map, progress through the main objectives and complete the Snail Race. Once done, continue following the slime trails until you reach your next checkpoint, which is the shadow theater. After turning on 4 lights, go near the theater and a cutscene will start. Candy will eventually ask you to fix her Monster Theater.
How to Fix the Shadow Theater
Use SpongeBob’s Spin attack to adjust the sculptures, reshaping the shadow holding a Spatula on the wall. From SpongeBob’s perspective, the shadow should be facing right, as depicted in the image below:
The sculpture has 4 parts, and there’s a pattern on how many times you can hit/move them, which are as follows:
- First Part (Head) – move twice to the left, then one time backwards
- Second Part (Body Holding a Spatula) – move forward once, then move one space to the right.
- Third Part – move twice to the left.
- Fourth Part – move twice to the right.
Once the Shadow theater has been fixed, this will trigger a cutscene where the wall will open up and reveal the path for the main story.
