To solve the Mystery Chest puzzle of 9 squares in the Sacred Archives in Prince of Persia Lost Crown, aka the hidden chest in the Temple of Knowledge, you have to light them up in the pattern shown in the image above.

The final step to solve the 9 squares Prince of Persia Lost Crown Sacred Archives Mystery Chest puzzle is to trigger Shadow of the Simurgh and teleport Sargon to the bottom middle tile.
