How to solve sunken ship puzzle?

[MrBrain]

I know it is mirror puzzle, but still cant solve =\ And what with color dots?

[RbdJellyfish]

I am also stuck on this one. Here are a few clues that I think might help though.

Like you said, it's a mirror puzzle.

You learn about the dot sizes in the jungle. They have to do with sound pitch, so listen to audio cues.

The panel is in a room lit with red light. Subtracting red from the dot colors may help with something.

But again, I'm also stuck on this one, so I'm not sure how useful these hints are...

Has anyone figured this out?

[Pugnippets]

Just got into the door. I was falling asleep and it made me jump.

Inside the room is a hexagon diagram, although you probably figured that out already from looking through the floor in the room above.

I am going to have a look and see if I can explain it. I think I've figured it out but I want to be sure I didn't fluke it.

I think there are multiple notes being played with a start and an end and you have to draw a transition between the notes. But I'm not sure, so I'm going to check.

You do need to connect every dot.

They do need to be in a specific order, but


...they do not need to be grouped by colour.

While it is possible that you need to change the lighting, I didn't find it necessary and couldn't find a way to do so. however, I should point out that there are suspicious artifacts on the grid that make me think there are red hexagons camouflaged in the red light. It's probably nothing, though. I'm probably just going ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ insane at this point.

If you're really lazy and just want the solution, I might post it, but it is out there. People have managed to brute-force it.

I haven't figured it out either.

Can you please post solution? I've had it with this puzzle..

I have a hyptohesis. Notice how there are 2 low-pitch, 2 medium-pitch and 2 high-pitch hexagons on the grid. The audio consists of 3 different sounds of different frequency and then repeats itself. I suspect that the solution to this puzzle involves activating the sequence twice, using one line for each set (sequence-wise) of hexagons. The colour, I believe, is needed to further narrow down the correct sequence. I suspect that you need to complete the sequence in such a manner that each line encompasses one sound of each colour without repetition in a line . I have been unable to meet these criteria myself, but if someone does, it would be interesting to see if I was correct.

Thank you.

Like most people, I too accidentally solved this one and have no idea why my solution worked, even after going back to it and trying to make sense out of it.

It's the only puzzle out of the 519 I've solved so far that I did not understand the rules behind at all.

There are actually 3 medium dots on the grid.

[Bayern1982]

Listen to the water banging against the ship. Low pitch [large dot], high pitch [small dot], then medium pitch [medium dot]. That's the order of which you trace your line. It's a mirror puzzle so the other line has to cover the rest of the dots, which don't really match the water sounds, as far as I can tell.

[Canis Lupus]

I don't think any of the solutions here are fully correct. This is my take on this puzzle.

There are two sound sources here:
1. Short sounds, coming from the water drops (low, high, medium pitch).
2. Long sounds, coming from the creepy screeching of the boat environment (medium, low, medium, high pitch).

It took me a while to notice the second source, especially since it takes a whole minute of silence to loop again.

Then you have two colors, orange and pink, one for each sequence (as well as neutral black):
1. Orange has two medium-sized hexagons, so those must be the long sounds.
2. The pink hexagons are the short sounds.
3. Black hexagons can be used as part of either sequence.

As orange is missing a small (high pitch) hexagon and pink is missing a medium one, they can borrow these from black.

Now you know the pitch sequences and the colors, so you have to find how to move your "snake" to get all the hexagons from one color/sequence and let the invisible mirror snake get the other color/sequence.

Finally, I don't think the red light is at all important for this puzzle. It might be just there.

My bf and I solved it in a different way.


1. The screeching sound or the ship sounds signal the beginning / end of the sequence.
2. We only paid attention to the water drops and not the screeching.
3. You have 1 low pitch, 3 medium pitches and 2 high pitches.
4. 1 snake can only collect one color + neutral black.
5. If you listen to the sequence, you arrive at:
medium
medium
low
high
medium
medium
high
6. We then traced it out on a piece of paper and tried variations of that sequence (color wise)
7. Both snakes collect notes of the same sequence.
8. You eventually arrive at:
medium (pink)
medium (orange)
low (orange)
high (pink)
medium (orange)
medium (black)
high (black)

I'm sure the colors can be related to the sound color itself, too.
You have drops that sound like they fall
- on water
- in a bottle
- a deep well

I just published a guide for that puzzle which is sort of complete. But my theory can still be strengthened. I'd be glad for anybody who could have a look and tell me what they think.

Ok, slept over it and now everything makes sense. I've given the guide an overhaul to reflect what I've found.

@Canis Lupus: I see now that your solution is the one I also found with the minor addition of the red light in a symmetry puzzle.
