Challenge / Puzzle level stuck

[Zazzlebips]

Heya,
does anyone know how to beat challenge level 6-1? I don't have a clue and all my calculations lead to my / Iris eventual demise. At this point I think it must be sth completely obvious that I'm just missing. The skeleton at 1/2 must be killed or it will kill you in the first round, but the fire enemies are also not allowed to do anything because they light your cards up. I would really appreciate some help.

If you look for (strg+f) 6-1 on the wiki page you can see the layout. They don't even offer a solution there. (I don't want to straight up copy from there because the formatting would be off)

Yeah, the wiki is definitely messed up for these Path of the Mind challenges. Honestly, I don't think you can actually do 5-8 unless you get lucky with the Fire engulfing your 3rd Sword card and when you use that last sword, it counts it as a win before you die from the flame damage.

I looked at 6-1 and yeah, I'd genuinely like to see if someone has actually ever solved that. Kill the middle skeleton first but then you'll have your final 3 cards on fire so as soon as you use one of them, you lose. If you thunder the fire... the skeleton is going to hit you. If you axe the first row, you may get them to skip a turn but I've found that that is hit or miss so I'm not sure which is the "bugged" interaction. Let's say it does skip their turn. You can thunder the skeleton +2s but then the cat archer hits you. Honestly, I don't think it's possible.

There is an impressive lack of data about this game and yeah, some of these challenges are impossible.

Edit: Looks like 5-4 might be impossible too.

I'm not sure how the Fire chooses which card to burn, but assuming you are lucky this might be possible:

1. Thunder the skeletons.
2. Steal from the top fire.
3. Axe the Cat Archer and the two Fires.
4. Fire the two remaining bottom skeletons.

If you Thunder a skeleton first then you get four burns and lose with the damage.

Yeah, in fact when I played it bugged and not only were my remaining cards on fire, but they also stayed that way through my second and third tries at the trial.

Yep. The game is absolutely riddled with bugs. It’s the main reason why I left it a negative review. There is potential here but it was just so half-assed that as soon as I 100%ed the achievements, I uninstalled. The impossible challenges, game(and run)-ending bugs, and incomplete story ruin the experience. I’ve never played a game with so many bugs... and I played Cyberpunk on release on a PS4. Granted, I never did play Cyberpunk again after the first four hours.

Solved it, use steal on middle skele, they dont burn new cards. Should be able to figure out the rest after that though. gl

From the patch notes it looks like the bug got fixed in May (version v1.1.6).
