Final Puzzle

[ceriselaflamme]

Seriously stuck on this, can't get the pieces to line up, even with the Sloth picture? Is it random?

I've been trying to figure it out myself. At least for the electrical box puzzle, you can go to Sloth if you're lazy/it makes you rage.

I got a picture from Sloth that had the three circles on it, with arrows in the corner pointing clockwise, but nothing seems to work.

From what I gathered, that merely tells you what happens to each of the discs when you turn one. For example, turning the middle disc one tick clockwise causes the outer disc to turn three ticks clockwise and the inner disc to turn one tick counter clockwise. I know from playing with it that a full revolution is 8 ticks, and that the proper location for the outer disc is 7 ticks clockwise or 1 tick counterclockwise from its starting position. I've forgotten the others (I belive the middle was 6 and the inner was 3). I honestly no longer have the time to play this game though, so I'm stuck until someone just figures out the order necessary to solve it.

Yup, same here, and I'm on a review deadline. There's no walkthroughs for this that give out any help, and the two YouTube walkthroughs I've found seem to find it randomly. One guy found it in fifteen seconds, the other guy it took two minutes with multiple restarts...

I think this video has the answer:

Here's the steps as best as I can tell from the video; will test them later:

• Outer 2 counter clockwise
  
  
• Press center (the amulet, I think.)
  
  
• Outer 3 clockwise
  
  
• Middle 2 counter clockwise
  
  
• Inner 2 clockwise
  
  
• Press center
  
  
• Outer 1 counter clockwise
  
  
• Middle 2 counter clockwise
  
  
• Inner 2 clockwise

edit: It works. You press on the amulet.

Thank you so much! It worked! I didn't know the centre gem wasn't just a reset button

Actually, it is just a reset button. If you do just the commands after the last "Press center" (Outer 1 ccw, Middle 2 ccw, Inner 2 cw), that'll solve the puzzle. ^^;

Wow, 5 moves... that's a lot easier than the way I solved it. =) I lined up two of the three rings in their proper positions, then used those rings in a simple repeating pattern (something like "move that ring 2 times that way, then this ring 6 times this way") that moved them away from their positions, then put them back... but with the third ring ending up in a different position. So essentially, at the end of this pattern, the only ring that changed was the third ring... so I just kept repeating the pattern until the third ring lined up with the other two. =)

A more technical way to solve the puzzle would've been to figure out the math, by looking at which rings rotate how far in which direction... assigning positive and negative numbers to these rotations... and based on their starting positions, figuring out what combination of moves would get all three rings back to 0. I didn't feel like doing the math, though, so I just found a simple but useful repeating pattern... and repeated it. =) If that hadn't worked, though, I probably would've ended up doing the math. ^^;

Huh, didn't realize it was just a reset. Oh well, at least it's solved.

That sounds insanely complicated...

I'm trying my best not to look at the solutions above, but was just skimming through some responses to see if I was doing something wrong (been on this for an hour and I'm getting a headache from watching a white screen spin around). I see some people mention the outer ring as if you can move it directly, is this so? Because I can only spin the inner (not the one with the gem) and the middle ring directly.

Edit: I never saw the dragonfly in the monkey room. I thought I'd get the dragonfly from completing this puzzle for this reason....you can't move that last ring until you get the dragonfly I missed. Wish there had been a bit more visual feedback on all of that
