Sage the Mage

How many stags of his stupid music stones game are there? I was ok with this mini game until the baizllionth time I've had to do it. I love the game overall but this minigame overstays its welcome and has become obnoxious at this point.

I fully agree....

How I process it:
2nd temple ->nice,
Waterfall cave -> uh challenge,
Cave with 3 riddles -> again?,
Sage -> Quit after some trys,
Castle of Evil -> f*++ng mandatory?!

Otherwise really like the game. Bombs feel got to use.

even with the calculator trick, i don't even have one that is big enough to fit that many tries it take
i just gave up

I got stuck on the waterfall cave. So I'm not going to be able to play this game all the way through?

The stone minigame is poorly designed. Most of them do the Simon Says route where you add 1 new action each time. ABA, ABAC, ABACD, like that. So you learn the pattern and work your way up.

However, this one doesn't do that. It gives you a new set each time. Which I could put up with except I have to go through the entire thing all over again when I get it wrong. It feels like the game's treating me like I'm stupid by making me repeat a sequence of 3 every time I get a sequence of 8 wrong. And that makes it 100 times more frustrating, starting all over again at a ridiculously easy difficulty for no reason other than to punish me for trying.

It's the rest which makes it terrible. New patterns each time? Sure, it's hard mode, but I can handle it. Getting exhausted by repeating the easy rounds so many times? Yeah, that doesn't feel good.

Agreed, these got very difficult. I ended up videoing the sequence with my phone, watching the video on the phone, writing the sequence down, then entering it in game. Pain in the butt. I'm not sure anyone can memorize a quick sequence with 10 things.
