Puzzle Solutions

[LadyGwynn]

I've searched for a comprehensive guide to puzzle solutions for this game. Several seem to follow the same pattern, but then there are ones that remain a mystery. I figure we can pool our knowledge here and ask for help with unknown puzzles.

- If there are three lit torches or statues with a fourth unlit torch/statue, you need to light the odd one out to reveal the treasure.
- If there are statues with a single spike floor in front of them, they require a blood sacrifice by stepping on the spikes to reveal the treasure.

There are others I know of, but haven't seen personally, so I will leave them for others to post here.

One I'm currently stumped by is in Delvemore Dungeon. Two statues have a gold gleam to them, but are not holding gold. There is a special tile between them where a treasure might be revealed. Attacking them or blowing them up does nothing. https://i.imgur.com/82rVFJW.png

Is this the "three lit torches or statues with a fourth unlit torch/statue" you mentioned?

How do you light it? I have tried with the slamander powerup and hitting it, i tried burning myself and jumping against it... can't get it to light :S

Yes, the puzzle you showed IS one of the ones where you need to light the fourth lamp... Using the salamander's tail or touching it while on fire should have worked, though. I'm sorry to say I don't know why you were unable to get it to light.

Subbed to this discussion...I noticed these odd little areas on occasions and tried the basic approaches which you guys mentioned.

Going to throw a few ideas out to see if anyone can try while i try to come across that tile again after some needed sleep..
Does Smacking any pieces of gold at the tile or statues do anything? Golden food perhaps?
Is those statues always in the same room with that wrecking ball or no?
Could the Secrets seeking familiar help in this?

Why is it so hard to light statues? If you have a fire buff on your weapon it's dumb that you can't light it by hitting it. I've also tried setting myself on fire in another room and running into the statue and it still didn't work. If you're going to have puzzles like this they should at least be solvable.

so lighting torches is different from lighting statues.

Lighting a torch can be done by using salamanders tail, a lit thrown pickaxe or touching it while on fire. You can also lead enemy or pet fire onto it.

Lighting statues doesnt work that way and I'm not sure what triggers it in this build.

Most puzzles are solved by either:
set torches on fire
blow lit torches out by bombing them
destroy a key item (like statues)
Stand on spikes
use an item while standing on a specific spot.

Still trying to figure out some of the strangest rooms like the first one myself.
getting hit by the ball and chain seems to obvious, but maybe blowing it up?
Also need to be puzzles that use the lightning element to solve, but i havent seen any..

This puzzle room contains 2 statues and a spot where a third one might have been in the past. Destroy both statues by jumping on the spikes when they are on cooldown, drop bomb, jump out. Treasure spawns.

I'm wondering about that last one as well, still haven't figured it out. Do you blow up the other two statues maybe? The platform in the middle kind of looks like it has a blast mark on it but I haven't managed to find that room while also having two bombs.

Just tried it. It DOES release a chest if you blow up both statues, but at least for me, the chest was rock-encrusted, so you will need a THIRD bomb to get the treasure.
Opening the chest gave gold, and an extra bomb...

Thank you, I lit a bomb now by a statue without a light,and after destruction, the clue to the hidden room was revealed. Boomb. Bombs+++
I want a room where all the wall have gold.

Has anyone got an idea what is with the Key Rocks ?
I mean thoose ones that are randomly in a secret room and dont Block anything. just Randomly placed there. also there tends to be a key near so you can use it even if you had 0 keys while entering

[ButtahNips]

Unlocking them has a chance for an item/relic to appear. It's not a 100% chance

[KING]

So basically a Gamble. Got it .

In the dungeons, you have room using fireball launchers (the red ball thingy that shoots fire at you from time to time) and torches.

On the main floor, you'll see a launcher in the middle, encased by 4 tall rocks in the corners, and 4 torches in the corners of the room. You need to explode the rocks (but not the launcher) so you can get the torches lit (or DIY if you can).

In crawlspaces, you have 4 launchers in the corners of the room, and 4 torches in the middle. Lighting up the torches will make a chest appear. But destroying all 4 launchers (easiest way is to stand between two of them and make them shoot each other) will also spawn a chest. You can get both.
