Can't find "Lost Puzzles"

[Sandsaver01]

I finished puzzles 1-8 in the Eastern lowlands, built the bridge to the tower and turned on the first beam at the Pyramid, but I cannot seem to find the lost puzzles in this level. I have run everywhere, and I see their representations on the markers for the gate and the number puzzles, but They do not even give the direction to go to find the lost puzzles. I would appreciate some guidance.

One option would be to active the compass in the options, some places (like terminals and lost puzzles) will show up as an ? on there as long as you're close enough to them.

Did you turn off the compass feature in settings. there should be a direction finder at the top of the screen with all the objectives? Lost puzzles with a blue triangle, labs with a question mark, the rest are self-explanatory.

Labs are marked with a beaker, not a question mark.

Everything that the compass tracks starts as a question mark. Once you get close enough, the question mark will be replaced with the correct icon.

Thus, you need to turn on the compass and visit any and all question marks. Two of them will be lost levels.

In the last area, East 3 one of the star puzzles doesn't seem to have an initial question mark. Either that or it's so well hidden behind another POI, that it's impossible for me to see.

the very simple solution is to just run around a little bit and the symbols in the compass will space out.

If they are on top of each other that's something that can be solved by applying a little parallax. :)
It might also be that something is too far from the start, the ? will change in size depending on how far away the POI is from your current position.

Yes they can be so far away they want show up on the compass. Last map area (West 3 High Plane) is a good(bad) example. (That map is WAY to big!)

[Stupidity]

There are instances of items not appear on compass. If you already turned the compass on and there are no "?" marks and you can't find the puzzle, please report it as a bug.

[mreed2]

Keep in mind that some items never appear on the compass. What should appear:

1. Normal puzzles, lost puzzles, and gold puzzles.
   
2. Palm readers
   
3. Labs
   
4. Star statues

Things that never appear on the compass (not exhaustive):

1. Holographic "memories"
   
2. Human artifacts
   
3. "Fire" of either type.
   
4. Hidden caches of puzzle tools (meant to be used for stars)

I found it eventually, it was VERY far away from everything else. It's the only time it's happened that I noticed it, too. Which is why it looked like a potential bug. Thankfully, not a bug.

Yeah a couple of the lost ones are really far from everything else. Same with a couple of Terminals at the edge of the "playable area".
