Weird bramble plant

[herbalrems]

Any idea how to attack the thorny plant that sometimes appears across part of the tile blocking the way to (usually) a chest or similar?

You can't attack it; it's a puzzle, though I still haven't figured out how to solve it and have been unable to find a video of anyone solving it.

Edit: Check out the most recent stream linked on the news page about 17:00 in.

There are two different types of puzzles.

One is solved by looking at the three pictures above and to the right and left of the chests beyond the brambles, and then standing on whichever of the 4 tiles from in front of the brambles which match what it would look like if you combined all 3 of those images. If one of your characters stands on one of the wrong tiles before you stand on the right one, it will lock and you won't be able to complete it, so pick the right one.

The second puzzle type has pictures showing a 4x4 grid with O's on it. The Red O represents the statue head that is just outside of the puzzle, the White O's represents positions where your characters must stand. Make sure you use the Red O in the images and the statue to properly orient how you have to place your characters.
Again, there can be up to 3 images, above, and to the right and left of the chests...you again have to combine these, and then have your characters stand on the correct tiles to remove the brambles. They all have to be activated at the same time and you will always need to use every single character you have brought to complete it, so if you brought a party of 5, all 5 will need to stand on a tile.

For both, you need to rotate the camera to make sure you are looking at and combining all 3 of the images.

Thanks! thats brilliant!

Yeah, the "stand here" one is pretty simple (especially as you can just keep moving about until you get it right).

The mixed picture one is a lot more tricky, as it can be super hard to tell the difference at times. And you only get one chance to pick the right option.

I don't understand the stand here. I have 4 people in my party, and there is only 1 white circle. I can't have all 4 people stand on the same circle.

There is more than one picture, each with white circles. Rotate your camera and look at all of them.
