Tip for Igraine Fire Shrine puzzles

[Fell Arms]

(Slight puzzle spoiler)

So you don't frustrate yourself indefinitely trying to figure this one out: Yeah, the torches have to be lit a set way. There are lines indicating the 'number' of the torches which you have to light in order.


(More irritating mechanical point of the puzzle)

I spent an hour or maybe even longer at the same spot not understanding this. You have to light the torches from the side with the lines, or they do not light in some cases. I thought it was a game breaking bug, but it was just an unnecessarily irritating game/puzzle mechanic that confuses and discourages the player.

(See http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=540679807 for reference of where you might find this issue)

Cheers.

I lit 2 from a random side, then got into a fight before I lit the third one..
the first 2 went out. then each time itried to light them it instantly went out.

I thought the game was glitched where it thought they were still alight and i had to load a previous save =,=
This is a stupid mechanic

lighting them from a specific side.. REALLY?

Just because you can't figure it out doesn't mean that it's stupid :(

Seriously, if you look at all the previous torches, you would have noticed that the number bars were on all four sides, so it seems fairly obvious that if these new torches have bars on only one side that it means something. I'm usually pretty bad at game puzzles and even I could figure it out by just looking at it a bit.

Hrm.. When you put it that way, I guess you're right.
I'm usually very observant, checking every nook and cranny of every cave, village and field.
Idk how i missed that small detail of "it was on all 4 sides, now it's not"

My main issue of it was thinking it was glitched though, due to a battle putting out the flames.

1 hour? really?

also, for people who can't figure what to do there is always Rose, she will hint you [in a painfully obvious way] what you have to do next at any point in the story [while you have her on your party, of course].

Lol I figured this one out when I lit up some torches and they didnt open up a path right away. The puzzle was kinda obvious
