Hints on solving the broken brands?

[19thperson]

So across the tower, some of the brands are partially obscured. I'm running out of things to do, so I'm trying to solve them, or at least find their shape. even knowing the cipher language and the recurring "format" of the messages, I'm struggling to find a way to confirm them without brute forcing. Is there something I'm missing?

The only brand that needs to be figured out is this one: https://imgur.com/a/mv9NcMX It's Eus/Tail's . This one is unfortunately pretty obtuse, there are two rocks that tell you what you need to do, and I can see where things line up pretty well, but some of it is still vague and I ended up just looking this up after trying for over an hour and a half putting pictures together. I'm trying to put the full image together now that I know what the brand ends up looking like.

The brand with the binary showing through should be easy enough to figure out or you can Keep bumping into it until it breaks, revealing the entire thing in binary .

Look closer at the remaining two and you'll probably figure it out the images on the sides of the two sigils are mirrors of each other and one has only the left half and the other has the right half: https://imgur.com/a/FKZdMND

Where do I find the two rocks? I found a couple mentioning "tail connects the brand" but I don't think that's enough to go off of.

The rocks mentioning the tail connecting the brand are in the section directly after talking to the snake woman - there's something else that is unique about this zone that may be related to what they're referring to.

I guess this is what they were going for - MAJOR SPOILER: https://imgur.com/a/UzHgoyJ

the verticality of the pieces not being readily told from the images, combined with the ambiguity of some of the pieces (you have to pay super close attention to the 'top' vs 'bottom' of the pieces) really sucked my enthusiasm out of this one. It could have been a much more satisfying thing to put together if the other levels in the section lined up to help you figure this out.

yeah from your hint I figured out it was supposed to be collating the levels together, but I suck with image editors and been wrestling with one for a bit, not even counting the whole verticality thing so thanks for helping

where do you find the other half?

When examining the sigil on the wall, stand on the left side and you'll see the left side. Stand on the right side and you'll see the right side. Yes, logically this makes no sense

Thanks for this. Even at being 90% there with the solution and knowing what the brand looks like thanks to ZeroRanger I still could not for the life of me figure out the rules. I was rotating images, connecting tail pieces, wondering why they didn't all connect... I don't know if it would have ever occurred to me to make the brand with the empty space. The floor tiles aren't square like brand tiles, and B035 especially is not clear on how the tail "curves" back around to have the scales facing outwards on both sides

thank you, even with the answer still need to figured out how this was done and won't put it into game until I reverse engineer. I never really get stuck on these things but it really seemed like that this was the part of the game I should have been doing.

The thing I needed to solve it was taking the part of the brand that's still visible and filling that in in the image editor, and using that as a starting point.
