Help With Sandcastles & Ice Sculptures

[The Horror Network]

I guess I just don't "get" these mini games. I managed to get through the very first Sandcastle, but the rest of them I'm not understanding.

I feel like I"m following the blueprints. For instance, the first Ice Sculpture I leave the second row in at all 4 blocks high, from front to back. and the rest of the rows are chipped down to 1 block high, but it says it's wrong.

Can anyone help explain a bit more? I'm feeling pretty dumb lol.

So, the Ice Sculpture tells you how many blocks are in each of the 16 rows looking from the front and in each of the 16 rows looking from the right. Note that in some cases, there are multiple solutions, though I think this only starts being possible from intermediate forward

Take the following Front view:

1 1 4 1
1 1 4 1
1 1 4 1
1 1 4 1

That means, looking from the front, if you count three from the left (or 2 from the right), you should have a 4-high wall extending from the front bound to the back bound. You will also have 1 block visible in each of the remaining 12 rows visible from the front, but in order to gauge where they are, you need to reference the Right view, which could potentially be as follows:

1 4 1 1
1 4 1 1
1 4 1 1
1 4 1 1

This Right view would suggest that, when looking from the Right, you'll have a 4-high wall extending all the way back on the second column from the left. Since you've already noted the front view, you should now be able to chisel out all the blocks that aren't supposed to be there.

Incidentally, given the two views above, if you were to look from above (with the Front side facing you, and therefore at the bottom), you should have the following:

0 0 4 0
0 0 4 0
4 4 4 4
0 0 4 0

Also, note that color of the ice blocks DOES NOT MATTER. If you have to, chisel away all the blocks and start constructing it from the bottom layer up, color-coding the ice blocks you absolutely must keep or cut later appropriately. (the water tool is not optional, it is required for at least one sculpture)

-----------------------------------------------------------

As for Sandcastles, similar idea, but the only thing that actually matters is the silhouette of the castle (the "shape" of the features) as seen from the Front, Right, and Top perspectives.

Thank you for the more detailed explanation! I've always sucked at stuff like this, I just don't have one of "those" brains I guess. This does help, I'm looking forward to getting some of the memories that I've been having a hard time with :)

I was doing great up until the hidden arch sand castle.... I get the right side it says its perfect, but no matter how i place the other blocks using arches, double and single, it just wont go.

Hey does anybody know how to do the first intermediate puzzle for the ice sculptures?

Guys, can you help me with the sandcastles advanced and master? Like a video on them, cause I can't find one.
