4 Pillar puzzle north of the Castle

[Entercoven]

So 1 screen North of the Northwest portion of the castle (This is after you get the Snapdragon for the King) there is a cave in the topleft most part of the screen, under a boulder.

Inside are 4 Pillars, each can be turned, and have 4 faces to them. Turn them into the correct position, and get the treasure chest.

However, every single one of the others has had some marker for telling you which way to turn them. This one does not. So you have to figure out the correct position out of the 256 possible choices.

Unless it's already been figured out, or there is a hint somewhere that I am unfamiliar with.

Hi Entercoven, cool to see that you are this far already. If we think of the same cave there is actually a hint on how solve it. There are symbols outside the cave covered by vines.

[Entercoven]

I already figured out the code, but the particular one I was talking about was a hole in the ground. I knew to look for the symbols, but there werent any to find. I can take a screenshot or two if you'd like. I had to do a very tedius trial and error.

I'm at the same puzzle but the symbols behind the vines are not clear at all. I assume there is some way to remove the vines? I'm at the 3rd ingredient dungeon and haven't found any way to remove them.

I've taken a few screenshots of the game, removing the correct face on the pillars in case my game was incorrect for some reason, I dont want to just give it away.

1 tile North of the Northwest corner of the castle, there is a stone. Blow it up to reveal the hole.

Inside there are the 4 pillars which can be turned. Normally, on the walls there would be some sort of hint or clue to the faces.

In my case, there was nothing on the walls. Nor were the vines burnable (These arent the typical burnable vines either, those would cover a much larger chunk of the wall, looking obvious)

Now while I dont show a screenshot, I also went to the four corners, seeing if maybe the tricky Devs hid the clue not on the wall, but on the rock texture further out of normal view. No such luck.

This led me to having to test it manually, as there were no clues in the cave, nor the surrounding area (The tile entered in on, and all surrounding tiles)

I did eventually solve it, but it was through labor instead of solving a puzzle.

[Nakuul]

There are symbols behind vines in the screen that you blow the rock up. The problem was they are very unclear as to which symbol it is. Eventually I just brute forced it and got lucky.

And how do you burn them?

[Entercoven]

I saw them, finally. And you burn them with fire. You get fire after the snow boss area.

For those like me who don't want to brute force ( cause the glyph outside has no clue to say which glyph goes where) click here to get spoiled [imgur.com]

so what did the devs want from us, even if we find the glyphs OUTSIDE! .. how do we aknowledge the order???

The answer is how they're ordered going from left to right, though since they're at different heights, it's a little tricky to work out that the order is down left right up. The direction here is the direction that the "tail" of the glyph points.

Rex game.. once i saw that insider in that house above the chest i KNEW
what i was playing. *insert my traumatic RAGE-experience with Rex Rocket, still PTSD*
