How to push boxes?
I have encountered two boxes at separate occasions. They were blocking my path and apparently the player is supposed to be able to move them. They are interactive but when I press E 2B just kind of leans against the box and nothing happens.

Now I am faced with a box-pushing-puzzle which -- of course -- I cannot solve because I don't know how to push boxes. Any help would be appreciated.

Walk up against them and hold B (Or whatever your interact button is), then push.

The ones in the world you see are blocking shortcuts that you can push open later.

In the box puzzle, you can only push them. There's another box in the castle ruins. That one can be pushed and pulled. #gamelogic...

Also to hold them for pushing/pulling. You have to stand right in front center of them and looking at them. The game will not auto move you to them. All is manual.

I tried that but all it does is starting a conversation with 9S.

I just edited my previous post. But yeah, interacting with these is kind of difficult as it's all manual. You have to be dead center and looking straight at the box.

It is more logic though... because in the box puzzle you have 2 boxes stacked on each other (=heavier to pull), the one in the castle is only a single box.

You need to use a direction key after interacting with the box (typically W).

You don't need to hold down E, but you can if you want.
