[SOFTLOCK/BUG] Chapter 8 Lithographic Stone Tablet Puzzle
SPOILERS FOR A PUZZLE IN CHAPTER 8

So i just reached the lithographic stone tablet puzzle during chapter 8 and I keep running into a bug that makes it so I cant progress. Whenever I place the tablets into the wall, the red suit of armor keeps turning into a black sword. When i pick it up, its the correct shape/color, but when i place it in the wall It makes it so I can no longer progress. Does anyone know a solution?
I have already tried reloading saves, as well as quitting entirely and booting back up. I will try verifying file integrity and see if that fixes anything

I mean, unless you got a stuck button flipping the stone the only other question I have is, did you yo-ho-ho the game?

I am also stuck here. Reloaded game and same result. Solution is correct but door is not opening. I restarted pc, verified files, tried again. Same result. Door not opening...

I just had the same issue @TubeToad, I thought it was a bug too (as it was changing signs and was having two swords too) but turns out that the tablets can rotate (with q and e) when selected
Found out looking at a gameplay that had the same "issue" but noticed the rotate buttons

Same here, is creating new run will solve this problem?

I'd need to see a screenshot of what to you're describing, i've never see it this bug of it being a black sword.

Otherwise you may just be not actually viewing the puzzle correctly. Each tablet has 2 sides and the color is a red herring, the real differences are the symbol and the borders, and both of those have to match. The borders being different is what seems to throw people off on this puzzle. It'll either be a square or a hexagon, and you have to make sure they match with what's on the door.

peeps, there are 2 sets of each type 2 red helmets, 2 red shields, 2 black swords, 2 black armors There are minor variations (the borders) that should give you a hint.
So the puzzle wants not only the correct combination but the correct stones in the correct place with the correct combination.
Cheers
