le: Guess not, before starting the final mission there's plenty of hints that I should explore before heading in (dialogue & optional "solve remaining puzzles" objective).
South 3: Had all the parts in place. The bloom, hdr & dlss made the Red tower connector almost impossible to see (the one that pops out when activating the Blue tower receptacle)
West 2: Doesn't make sense or is very obtuse at best. Wondering if the drill from puzzle #3 could be fetched outside or if there's another one laying around that hasn't been found yet. I guess the big statue hand pointing down near #6 could be considered a hint but it requires some big mental gymnastics to get there.
The game is awesome even if you break it.
west 2 there's a puzzle with a travelling piece(the kind that float) that moves in a 'V' pattern, around the side of the puzzle outside there's a drill you can access by placing an activator from inside the puzzle up against that wall, from there you can use it to find an activator hidden in the outer area which is used under the statues feet to activate it
>The game is awesome even if you break it.
You can say that again.
I disagree. You connect the laser leading to pandoras monument from puzzle 4 in that area. In that puzzle you learn that you can activate objects that require a laser (the red platform in that puzzle) with the activator. Oh look, the pandoras monument doesnt have a receiver? took me 5 seconds to piece together that the gimmick of the whole west 2 ties into this, and figured you needed to take a activator to the monument. Now, I have no idea how to get the activator from behind the driller wall, but i was able to smuggle one out of puzzle 7 "closed off" in that area and just used that.
the most BS one is either sphinx in east 3, the map makes 0 sense showing the x in the middle of a lake with no proper way to gauge the depth of where its actually supposed to be. or the sphinx puzzle in south 3, where the x in the pit it literally in the incorrect spot....
Seeing as there's a stone hand that very much points at the exact spot an activator can be smuggled out of its puzzle kind of makes me think they changed their mind on how the star puzzle was supposed to be solved but forgot to remove the digger wall and activator. I got too hung up on the digger and thus it was one of the only 2 puzzles that gave me any trouble in the game. The other being the extra one where you have to bump a cube on a fan with your head into the gravity beam thing, only because the 5 other times I tried it, it only just bounced it off and onto the ground instead of into the beam.
i just found the driller its behind puzzle 4
Pretty much search like mad. I gave up with the red connector after searching for what feels like hours. At some point I even tried hooking like 7 blue connectors up to the tower endpoint to see if it did anything, but to no avail. Ended up just breaking a connector out from one of the puzzles at the bottom.
Sphinx puzzles all make sense. The one ''in the lake'' wasnt actually in the lake. The depth is equal to the relative distance between objects shown on the engraving.
Only star puzzles I personally found to be too much were the 2 mentioned in this thread. The one in west because there is no indication where you can find the driller and its hidden pretty well. The one in south because the red connector is ??? and its very hard to keep track of visuals due to all the trees and structures in the way. Solving that one probably took as long as clearing an entire direction's worth of puzzles.
The Pandora in the South (the "desert castle" area) was just terribly stupid. I felt like I was pixel hunting, and the way this game renders things makes visual fidelity pretty awful (and you cannot stop the 'blurring' that occurs from any of the render options, I hate temporal something fierce, it's such a garbage method and I hate that it's considered standard).
I actually wound up doing the same thing someone else in this thread mentioned, by "breaking" one of the puzzles and stealing a connector. Really wish I had done that to start with.
In the case of S3, I spent all this time trying to both figure out what the blue beams into the tower did and how to get a red laser to point at the statue and didn’t notice that the blue beams activated a connector on the tower. It wasn’t until I went below and happened to aim another connector at the top of tower and it picked up the connector at the top. Went back up and then I put two and two together and saw what I needed to do. I couldn’t find a spare connector to connect the tower connector to the statue so I ended up breaking a connector out of one of the puzzles below and brought it ip the elevator.
As for West 2, I figured the beam from room 4 was needed in some way. I saw the driller wall with the activator behind it while exploring but could not find a way to aim the driller from room 3 at it or to break the driller out. Figuring I just needed an activator for the statue, I broke the blue activator from room 6 out and ran it back to the statue.
Same with the south puzzle, i also set my fov to 90 and couldn't see it till i saw someone mentioning how blurry it was at distance...then i set my fov to 60 and used the zoom and could suddenly see it.
Walked around the structure like 5 times in the beginning looking right at the spot and couldn't see it at all.
The spare connector is inside of one of the other puzzles, the one closest to the statue. Its casually hidden in a corner.
Yep this annoyed me, was searching around the other corner of the central structure for ages which the map indicated it was at.
Also for the South 3 Pandora puzzle, I spent ages running around trying to figure our where I was going to connect to a red beam from, that I ended up breaking out the accumulator from puzzle 6 with a red charge to activate it.
