Conundrum Unresolved how to find the solution?

[Corossion]

Hi everybody,
to make things clear: After failing a few times and then randomly putting the pieces all over the floor I solved it, but I do not know how this puzzle functions.
I read some online guides on how to solve the puzzle and, surely enough, they give the solution to it, but never explain how the puzzle works.
Is it supposed to be solved by brute forcing it or is there an actual way to know the correct placements of these slabs?
One of the guides mentioned that the colors of the slabs must match with the engravings on the side, but the slabs don't have color, or am I blind?

[phadin]

It's the symbols you are trying to match, not the colors. Also, don't try to match the inside symbols on the single tiles, match the outside ones.

I solved it with the colour pattern. Yes, the slabs are just plain white, but if you think of the symbols as colour letters it works out.

[joonkimdmd]

I solved it but I still don't get it.
Color? Symbols? It makes no sense to me. Match inside on single and match outside? What do you guys mean?

[droggen]

Yea I got stupid lucky with this one as well at first I thought you had to make a mirror image of the patterns on the wall but that wasn't it then I just got lucky taking them out and putting them back in counter clock wise.

If anyone has the solution to this puzzle it would be nice to see how it's supposed to be done then just getting stupid lucky like my self.

[Corossion]

As far as I know the puzzle does not seem to have a logical way of solving. Most people seem to solve it by randomly placing one correct slab and then filling in the rest.
For me I did not manage to be so lucky and got stuck there for quite some time.
I would love to see how it is supposed to be solved, since afterwards the ghost also says something along the lines of "Hurr durr, now that was a really easy puzzle, amiright?".

First, place the tiles that fit in the slots outside the square. Looking at the symbols on those tiles, you will find that they share one symbol in common.

Next, you want to place a tile down so that the symbol they both have in common is at the x,y intersection of the column and row. If you look at the pictures of the tiles you can see which one has the proper symbol, but they are a bit hard to see.

Once that tile is in place, only one tile is available to place down in any given slot. Just set them down, and you get the quest for the Heart of Creation.

I haven't done those yet, but it looks like there's a guide to those puzzles on the Guides page.

Okay, so here is the solution to the puzzle: https://imgur.com/a/pKfh0dx .
Now, I do not understand what you mean with "Next, you want to place a tile down so that the symbol they both have in common is at the x,y intersection of the column and row.".
I would assume you mean this symbol: https://imgur.com/KRaFOnQ (marked Green)
But I don't see any reason why this symbol has to match? For me it seems really random to say that this is the key piece to the puzzle, what about the other two symbols on the outer ring?
It still seems to be only solvable by chance, Since there are no Hints to this puzzle in the game.
Don't forget that this is supposed to be one of the "easy" puzzles, as the game states, so I would have assumed it to be really obvious what the connection is between the slabs.

I think you're supposed to get a clue from the symbols on the pillars to one side of the room, but it's still really hard to make sense of that and translate it into a working result.

I had a much easier time finding the clues to the puzzle on the map for Nenio's first character quest.

[Hi.standard]

it's tiny, but you can semi make out the symbols in the inventory. they need to be placed on the long end(?)

I did read one guide and it was like, 'its easy, it shows you which to put in' apparently that guide didnt notice some have multipe options. Anyway, try to look at a correct order photo and align ur camera appropitately, then make sure you are putting the right slab in. because you CAN put the wrong one in

It is the symbol sahred on both outside lines. The next puzzle is more obvious about it, as it is pretty clear that the intersections mark the starting slab. The real problem is to read the symbols on the pieces. I need a magnifying glass for it.

I don't know if it's the right logic, but i wanted to share my own reflexion with one of those puzzles, and i will try this logic on the 4th (i used a guide for the 2 first from the 4 portals in heart of mystery).

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2605441038

What was my logic:
0) let's call it a 5 row, 7 column puzzle for the sake of understanding.

1) for the 1 slab "column" (column 2 and 6) there must be the right symbol. It meant the Y on the left, the # on the right. That was helpful but not enough.

2) the 3 slabs (hint row 4): at first i wanted to complete the 3 slots in the columns 3 to 5.
But i quickly understood that it was impossible due to the simple "domino" rule.

Then was the light.

3) on row 4 there are two "dead" column : 2 and 6.
What if column 1, columns 3-5 and column 7 were the thing i would have to complete:
- first slab of the three, for column 1
- second slab of the three, second symbol for columns 3-5
- third slab, third symbol for column 7

That actually helped a lot.

But there was not enough to end because...

4) hint of the side, row 5 . I didn't got "how" but i suddenly thought: maybe all the symbols have to be the same in that row.
Then i only had symbols for row 1 who were the same.

And that got it.

I'm not a fan of those "do a theory, test it" puzzles, but at least if that work for puzzle 4 (and 5? not sure), i'm okay with it.

In my second playthrough, i would test this logic for puzzle intro, and 2 first puzzles of heart of mystery, just to be sure if that works or not.

For the last puzzle this logica was okay... except that it required to understand that if the hints outside the puzzle are next to a "white slab" you must read them in reverse.

I would never have understood that at all.
