Exasperating Puzzles

[Obsidian Gryphon]

Definitely hate the puzzles in this game, a waste of time. I can't complete Core of the Riddle because the slab for the last slot refused to show in inventory. I checked guide images and affirmed it is the slab. There're two slabs in the inventory and they will show under normal perusal but nothing appear when I attempt to put it into the puzzle slot.

enigma is the worse.

Just ranting or are you looking for an actual solution? If its the latter, feel free to share screenshots.

I had a bunch that had dice symbols and just had to try each one out until it worked. Considering the normal tiles are nigh indecipherable in the inventory, it wasn't that much worse, lol.

I can't read any of the symbols on the tiles as they are far too small for my poor eye sight, and I suspect the same will be true for people with good eyes.

Something like this could improve things for the future: https://imgbb.com/WFr5tQ9

Here a solution video, though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSPz_zAwnJk

if original poster needs help, best to share screenshots

It's pointless posting screenshots when there's nothing showing in the inventory when I used the puzzle slot. When I look in the inventory, two slabs are there. I tried Core first, failed. Finished the Forgotten Secrets puzzle first, went back to Core of the Riddle. Failed again. Went back to longhouse to see if I miss anything. Nope. Nothing to pick up.

Look up several images of Core complete puzzle and compared to what I did and the images very carefully. Give up.

And yes. If any of the Owlcat devs are looking in, I want them to know their puzzles are no fun, contribute nothing to the story and a waste of time. I spent hours on the frustrating puzzles when I rather spent it immerse / enjoying in the story.

If there is "no" slab available to put on the ground, then something is wrong with the layout you used I think.

Start by showing what you put on the floor already. You are thinking too much into it. If you do not want, just submit a suggestion like with the example.

aren't you putting the slab just upside down?

Thank you.

These puzzles are the worst but once you see a guide or two on how to solve one or two of them and really pay attention to what they're doing in the puzzles it's pretty simple to figure it out, That said I felt like a real stupid trying to figure out the rotating platforms in Arushulya ( I know I spelled that wrong) wasting thirty minutes trying to get them all in positions to walk on only to figure out you need to put party members on them to stay in place.

[Something completely different]

I do wish we could auto complete the puzzles. They irked me enough to skip the whole heart of mystery quest.

I don't mind a few puzzles in a game but if I wanted to do floor puzzles I'd have bought a puzzle game.

The developers know nothing about gaming. Everyone knows if you complete a tile puzzle its supposed to show a sexy hentai picture.

Most problems I have with the puzzles all center around the interface. Actually doing the puzzles is miserable given you need to squint really hard to see what you're dealing with to begin with.
They were exceptionally novel the first two playthroughs but I can't even be bothered to do them anymore simply due to how unfun the entire thing ends up being.
