Has Anyone Found This Matchboxes Partner Location?
I Must be Blind
I've spent over 3 hours trying to find this Matchbox on different days that it appears, but for the likes for me haven't seen anything within a 100 meter radius, even skimmed from far seen locations & observing from above, skimming the trees & nook & crannies along the water & terrain

Concerning Issue
After seeing many different puzzles being obstructed by terrain, textures & obstacles, I'm certain many other puzzles are possibly unsolvable, which makes me wonder if this one is also unsolvable possibly, I state this because I believe Hidden Pentads are hand-crafted, but some are unsolvable, which would make various other puzzles that are hand-crafted like Matchboxes a part of that category

Solution or Hint?
While you can share the solution so others may know, but I'd like to know if it exists at all if anyone has ever found its partner, so I can find it for myself, unless it is part of a Mystery, then I'd rather not know

Location
It resides in a stream in the at the North-East center of Autumn Falls bordering Lucent Waters as it sits along the rocky wall in the water

Ignore the symbol, as if you close the game & reopen it, the symbol will change, so it's just the location of the Matchbox, not the symbol in general

I couldn't find it either.

Sorry, but after spending a good hour looking I couldn't find it either. This makes it the 2nd one I've been unable to find (although I got help finding the first one after posting about it)

However I can confirm that matchboxes can spawn inside the terrain as per this screenshot

Edit: And now it despawned...

I have actually found that one, but I'm glad it's not just me that's struggling to find this probably unsolvable Matchbox

I've not got that one in my game. I have this. https://imgur.com/ms28PoQ

The puzzles have reset for this Matchbox, will have to wait until it comes back before we can possibly get more people to check, otherwise I'm still going to try to painfully look for it when it appears again

I believe I saw you many hours ago and gestured about it while trying to look for the red block myself for a good while (around 10 AM Pacific time) :rbiggrin:

Yup, you did =) Wanted to tell you that I was there because of this post and had no idea where the red one was, but chat is so limited

Yea, I honestly don't get why the game is an always online game and then doesn't actually put many features that USE that always online state. Seriously, a basic local and world chat feature would do so much for actually interacting with people, and not just feeling like a bunch of animatronic dolls running around with you.

It's actually pretty common that it's possibly to bug past the respawn barrier around islands and find broken geometry that you can use to get inside them.

All the geometry in the game seems to have one-sided collision, and often there are many objects the island is constructed from that you can stand on. I wouldn't be surprised if a few match boxes here and there are spawning on solid terrain that is underground.

I've found ways to get inside the terrain of 4 or 5 enclaves and the main island of Glen, but I don't recall if I've found a clip for lucent waters yet. I'll look into it and see what I can find, and if I'm able to get underground near this match box to see if I find anything.

Unfortunately, from what I've seen even if I found the other box underground it still probably wouldn't be solvable, since the game would register you were looking at the ground under the box, not the box itself.
I did see a post where someone's reticle showed they were pointing at an object when they were looking at a rock wall and they said it was a matchbox, so maybe it could be done.

It would be interesting to see either way, not that it would ever be worth the time to solve the box, but at least we'd have an answer.
