I don't understand the puzzles.

I'm just looking everywhere, zooming, and it takes forever to find the patterns. How do I narrow it down?

[MaBelleAmie]

Trial and Error, only the true believers can go to Helheim. Or you can find guides online.

[Ezekiel]

Well then, this is retarded. How is finding patterns with detective vision representitive of psychosis? I know crazy people sometimes notice patterns, but this is just stupid. The pacing is ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

[MaBelleAmie]

It isn't. The voices and the entire game's enviroment is a representitive of psychosis. But it is a game so there need to be mechanics implemented so they did this combined with combat. Just walk arround the enviroment and you will see symbols pop up and then you need to look in that area for the pattern.

its pretty simple so far focus, walk through the gates with the bones and maybe it opens a gate.
than there are those lighten ravens or whatever focus to get the symbol... most puzzles were explaned good some are morel ike trial and error.

I looked all around me where the symbols popped up. I don't see it. This is where I am:

The voices help you subtly. Once you find an area with the symbol, the area will light up with symbols and camera FX. Your ability to look at the objects in the environment to find the shapes that will make up the object help you find where to look, and then you should just look at those objects from different perspectives until you find the symbol.

The knowledge of how game design works can help too, knowing that you probably wont find them all in the middle of the level and will have to move around the entire level. (Because that's what they want you to do.)

I haven't had any trouble with solving any puzzles, 1 - 4 m per symbol. The only issue I had was the very first puzzle when I found the symbol and the game didn't trigger it, had to reload the save and then it worked.

Look for shapes that make up portions of the symbol you are looking for, when you think you've found one try to look at it from all perspectives (directions). The symbols are mostly all additive, so you'll need to cross your view with other objects to build the symbol.

You're thinking of the left symbol. It was from that platform above, looking down at the house on the right.

I know that. I've done it a bunch in Batman.
