Lanceboard Solution?

Ayo just hit this and love some chess, move your rook in line with the black king and the bishop will take it then move your queen between the black bishop and the king and it’s mate

just incase you have not figured this out, or want an easier explination. if you have gale in your party he tells you the solution and marks where the pieces need to go

I cast lightning on the black king. Problem solved

Also the chest pieces move per game so not everyone is the same

If you’re playing on Vulkan then that does not happen. The game will auto close the conversation as Gale is speaking. Act 3 is a buggy POS.

It's completely bugged. I've come up with 2 ways to win. Both times, I move a piece, it reverts the piece to the original place and takes away a turn. Annoying...

Hey yall, same issue here. I can confirm if you shock the black king with electricity it should fix the "1 move reset" issue. You can also destroy the king with something like storm lightning to just win outright

This works, but for some reason Rook to D8 would instantly fail the challenge instead of actually winning in 1 move :derp:

lol yeah. I was in the same boat. I walked in and saw a 1 move win with the rook, tried it 3 times, reloaded hoping it would fix the "bug" but it didn't.

Then I saw these posts and realized the key is in the not so good wording of the statue. "The dark king must fall in two moves" (not one like a chess player would actually do lol). I know this is a puzzle, but if the wording was "The dark king must fall in exactly two moves" I think is would be less misleading and we wouldn't assume the rook is bugged.

I was struggling with this too, but look closer- Rook to D8 is an invalid move. Your rook is pinned to your king by the dark bishop, so making this move would put you in check- therefore it's not a legal move.

It would help if the statue would say something to that effect rather than just go, "The black king still stands" as if that's the problem with that move.

I hate this puzzle. My board had a way to get checkmate in one move and instead I had to make two other moves that resulted in check, but not checkmate (there is a pawn that can take my queen, undoing the check I have on the black king).

You can’t move your rook or the bishop takes your king that’s why that move doesn’t work. Cant move your king or the bishop takes your rook. Queen to h8 queen to d8

I was playing in Xbox controller and got the same thing....When I change to mouse and keyboard, It solved and I finish the puzzle without any other help.
