Ikko Island Puzzles guide

This is a guide on the puzzles and their solutions for the puzzles found on Ikko Island, it has solutions for all puzzles that are found in each of the Ikko Island dungeons, though the "Indiana Jones" optional trap areas are pretty self-explanatory and as such they are fairly straight-forward.

Ikko Island Puzzles

The first puzzle on the island is within the pine forest exclusive to the island. It involves moving all four wisp energy spheres from the left column to the right column-shaped platform, a VERY similar puzzle to the annoying Power Pillar energy transfer puzzle from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, but without the fear of being killed if one makes too many mistakes. As luck would have it, all you need to do is mirror to exact steps as shown in the puzzle solution video of the KOTOR 1 Power Pillar puzzle here, except you have to move between each "control station" to move each "pillar's" top-most orb to another pillar for each step, instead of having one control station to move all three pillar's top-most orb with, mirror the steps in the video precisely and you'll easily solve this otherwise-annoying puzzle.

The second puzzle within the volcanic crystal mine is fortunately very straightforward in that all you have to do is push all four barrel-shaped objects onto the four grey tiles, making sure the lower portion is finished first, otherwise it'll be a headache to solve.

The third puzzle within the Chilly Ridge area is located within a cave, there are clues around according to the dev, but I haven't found them myself. The solution for it is to press "II", "I", "V" and "III".

The fourth puzzle located within the castle ruins can REALLY put someone at a standstill, since the answer isn't to match the shift-able tiles to match another next to it, but instead to shape it in a way that it is similar to the other twin-column's tiles in a pattern that is a reflected mirror image of the other twin-column. If that sounds too hard to understand then here is the solution: Simply cycle the last tile and you'll get the right combination to unlock the gate: https://i.imgur.com/7zooVCc.jpg

The fifth puzzle located in the western side of the Mountain Pass cavern from where you enter is relatively simple, just push the boulders to their matching colored sides, start with the lower-middle boulders and work from there. The map from one of the chests shows the location of a cache of items, one of said items is actually an item needed for yet another puzzle located in the northmost section of the cavern, a "puzzle within a puzzle", if you will. The second part of this puzzle involves a memory test, simply mimic the sequence of the orbs that glow once you place the missing globe back on the empty pedestal and then read the tablet that starts the sequence of flashes each orb shows.

The sixth duo of puzzles in the Oasis area are comprised of a sort-of "QTE puzzle" located in the eastern-most area, the dev made said puzzle to gauge the feedback from those who agree/disagree with it and so forth, I myself don't get it, but apparently one presses an arrow key until a new set of glyphs appears, repeat this two or three times and the puzzle will be solved. The next, located in the western-most area and then south into a cavern lies a puzzle involves redirecting pieces of pipes in the correct manner, just fiddle with the levers until you get this pattern and the door will then unlock: https://i.imgur.com/rOTayGo.png

the 3th puzzle in the snowy moutains has the pattern on the lader if you look sideways. the stepps wil be II I V III if you look from up to down. that's the hint ,though it took me like 3 runs to find it i think, just got lucky on the first 2.

I can't make it any simpler than I already have, the only way I would make it easier is to record the solution itself, or provide an image-by-image comparison of which boulder needs to go where they're obviously meant to go.

Could you please not say "is relatively simple, just push the boulders to their matching colored sides" and actually give a solution for the puzzle? Feels like it'd be more helpful then "you can figure it out", given it's a guide.

Umm i found that the idea to the abandoned castle puzzle was more similar to a sudoku puzzle. At least thats how I saw it and solved it

[Rookie (ZOE)]

Glad to hear it, but yeah, to all those that have yet to solve it: Use the above KOTOR Power Pillar puzzle video above and copy EACH movement to the corresponding "pillar" in the respective order shown in the video to solve it.

i solved it just seemed unsolveable

[Rookie (ZOE)]

There's no need for that, dev. I've already provided it with the classic-yet-still-VERY-reliable KOTOR video demonstrating the aforementioned Power Pillar puzzle.

[Black Drago tera.gg]

ok

[Rookie (ZOE)]

I honestly dunno, it's been a while so maybe exit the forest dungeon and see if that resets it? If not then i'm sure the dev can answer your question in due time.

how do you reset the wisp puzzle
