Where's the damn Puzzle key?? Help me!!

[SauloSan]

Ii'm Stuck in the game with 74% of map completion. In some areas i open all rooms and secret rooms, in almost all others i need a "Puzzle Key"

Help me plz!! :-)

[viktorhallo]

pretty sure i found it to the right of that tower you were you got chased by fire. its a long jump puzzle with air dash to get it.

[Hedrack]

It's in Top City. From the save point where you teleport in you can take the elevator on the left side up and go right. With air dash you can do a platforming segment that ends with getting the puzzle key.

TKS.. I know the place, but I need to found the air dash first!

[Hedrack]

If you want the answer for that:

You need to first get the Rose key from beating the Queen.

Then you need to take the left path from the elevator by the initial save point you teleport to in Top City, beat the rose boss, and do the climb event to get the first sovereign seal, then check the left passage going down to get the dead man's note.

Finally, you need to go to the sewers in Nether City and take the bottom right path to where you need the dead man's note and enter the correct symbols to open the sewers which will take you into another part of Top City that ends with getting air dash.

Good luck!

Thanks Hedrack! I found by myself shortly after posting. It´s a very hard puzzle! I'm now in the Boss. It's tough!

Thanks again.

Where d’you find the correct symbols? I found some all the way to the left of where you input the symbols, but they don’t match really

I finally got the puzzle piece. But now I can’t figure out how it works! I think it’s timing? But idk what determines it

It has an audio cue each time the segment flips to the correct one. You press the button on cue.

That's a different puzzle. You find the dead man's note and decipher the message. If you can't figure it out, I posted the solution in another discussion here.

It was a bit weird with the audio cues. At first I didn't notice it especially when the background music is so loud in some places you hardly hear it even when you know it.
Some of the mechanics in the game could need some more explaining even though experienced gamers will figure it out either way.

I think devs should make the hint noise louder to help people to understand the puzzle.

I'll add additional visual effect.

Wheres the symbol puzzle key in the gnomes caves

This solution is randomized. Return when you have found the two petrified gnomes.

The first gnome is behind the puzzle of red lights in the top-left of the Gnome's Caves. Draw or screenshot the shape you see on the wall.

The second gnome is in the top-left of the Old Witch's Forest behind a high flower you can whack with the Dark Star. Write or screenshot the numbers of turns for each of the four dials in the gnome's note.

When back at the gnome treasury,
start with the shape of the zero rune as defined by the first red light gnome,
and turn it as many cycles as was left by the second forest gnome.
