Help with smell maze?

[AlcaRat]

So I've made a map of what path i need to take to smell all of the flowers in the right order...but its not working? Like am I missing something? I have done the same path 5 times and its not working, so I dont think im miscounting or anything.....any advice? Or hints?

I'd go back to your 5 hints... make sure you've associated each with the right color. Then validate your paths and retest, starting at the entrance and make sure each set of steps/counts puts you at the center of the next flower group. My guess is that you have a step or two incorrect along the way. If you are correct, when you exit through the back door it will be very obvious that you've succeeded. Good luck on this one!

Ok what do you mean "associated with the right color"? Like the hint I found in the sight area doesnt start with the yellow flowers?

[CindyK_JA]

. I was just trying to explain how I went back and validated each segment when my first pass through did not work... As you noted, your sight hint is associated with the yellow. So, that path will lead you from the yellow center to the center of the next color which tells you which hint to apply next. I'm assuming you are starting at the green entry point with a hint to get to the yellow.

I am going from Green, Yellow, Blue, Red, then Purple....does that sound right? This was the path I keep on testing, but its not working....I'll keep testing, but I want to make sure that my testing wont be for nothing lol.

That's the right order, just double check your counting! Go back and record directions at the sources if you can.

[AlcaRat]

Hey also weird question but for the sights clue the last arrow points to the wrong way i think...is the last arrow supposed to be pointing that way?????

[CindyK_JA]

Remember the triangles on the sight clue chart and their orientation? You have to 'tip' the directions.accordingly so the last arrow is actually pointing left...

[AlcaRat]

Im pretty sure thats the problem....doesnt it need to end up in the middle of all of the flowers? It doesnt end up in the blue flowers so I cant smell them .-.

[CindyK_JA]

Yep... if you have the yellow correct, you will end up in the center of the blue (starting from center of yellow

[AlcaRat]

Ok thank you lmao

I always messed up on the purple path when I did this. Remember the line starts off purple, not white.

[MiniTardigrade]

I believe I'm following the clues correctly, but I always fail. Can anyone help?
I followed my green clue as:
^>>>>^^<^

[CindyK_JA]

Your green clue is correct. A couple of things... remember that one set of clues has triangles on the same board. The triangle is rotated (like one of the sight puzzles) and so you have to rotate your path in the same direction. Also, the clue in the smell area starts at the purple 'x'. These were my two problem areas...

If you're still stuck, you can look up playthroughs of the game and check your path with theirs.

If you're like me you read the damn red bike/green flower hint from bottom up lol...
Anyway, here is the written solution for anyone who can't figure it out. Assuming there is no random componen :o
