Environment puzzle?

[Сочная]

I have a quest with this type of puzzle but I don't understand what it looks like :(

[Roan]

If it's the one on the pyramid don't worry about it, it's an end game thing.

Most other environmental Puzzles are readily obvious with them relating to something nearby. Just stand near the puzzle and look around.

In this case, I think it's referring to "Environment" as a category.
If you open your map and click the "Expand" button, one of the six core categories is Environment.

This should include Crystal Labyrinth, Morphic Fractal, and Shy Aura.

(In my opinion, Labyrinths and Auras should have been placed in the "movement" category, and all the wall-panel puzzles (including fractals) should be grouped together instead)

Ah, I had no idea that was even one of the possible quests. Never seen it come up before!

Somethings bugged or plain wrong with this one.
I got the "quest" to do 8 of these, and did 3 glass mazes. It still say i need to do 8.

I really do not understand why the flow orbs are not environment puzzle. Its the only one that is in the damned environment. And why fractal and not also 3-in-row? Stupid.

Hidden pentad counts as environmental puzzle. Not sure what others.

UPD:
Well, I think I have a bug because I solved Crystal Labyrinth and it wasn't counted as Environment puzzle :(
But anyway thanks for your answers

No idea what those are

When you open your map, there are 6 categories for each region and if you click on a category you have more information. The environment puzzle category is the one furthest to the right and depending on the region contains crystal maze, morphic fractal or shy aura. (You have rewards to unlock/collect there as well)

The Tab says Glass Mazes and Fractals are Environmental puzzles. But that is not correct or the Quest to do these puzzles is bugged since only Fractals count

I guess it's also possible they pulled a Destiny and used the same term to mean multiple things, which isn't helpful

I always thought 'Shiny' puzzles was the dumbest category... then I met 'Environment' puzzles. They may as well call them thingamajigs and whatchamacallits for all the good those 'descriptions' do.

Yes, I'm wrong. I need also some environment puzzle and hidden straight (the 5 hidden balls) seems to work for that.

I also had a quest today to do "environmental puzzles" and "interaction puzzles".
For environment, that ends up meaning Hidden Pentad, Morphic Fractal, and Shy Aura. I tried a crystal maze and it didn't count, despite otherwise being listed as environment by the game.
For Interaction puzzles, I completed it with Match 3, Rolling Block, and Phasic Dial.
I tried most of the other puzzle types and nothing else counted for either quest. I haven't unlocked all the puzzles, so there's probably one or two more of the wall ones that count for "interaction".
I'm hoping that I've seen all the vague daily quest categories. It's a little annoying to try every single thing in the game once to see what counts as "shiny" or "interaction". I mean seriously, you interact with every puzzle and they're all shiny! It doesn't help when they're mislabeled, like skydrops not counting for perspective quests or crystal maze not being environmental.

[joridiculous]

Yeah its pretty daft. Morphic Fractal should be under Interaction puzzles with Match 3, Rolling Block, and Phasic Dial.
And SkyDrops really should be either Perspective or environment puzzles.

And for Pete's sake, fix the Encyclopedia entries!

@INTP Many people don't know understand "Search the environment" puzzles - This also annoyed me (16lvl) until I returned to the island "Mystery", which is actually an introduction to this category of puzzles. The task is child's play and you have to look carefully at the environment of the puzzle location and look for repeating patterns, colors or objects is the clue that will guide you to the right solution. It still sounds complicated take a look at this illustration: the puzzle is located above a stone pot with clover leaves floating in it. When you enter the puzzle some of the boxes are blocked, now you just have to match the color pattern to the leaves.
