zebatov 04/26/18 4:02:05 AM #6:	I'm stuck what seems relatively early on. There's a puzzle in a shack, or shed, full of plants along the coast you start at (beyond a grove) which requires you to isolate four different colours from each other by drawing lines around them. The difficulty is that you can't go back over a previously used square (where your line already exists) and the limited space you have. I don't want to cheat and look it up but if you get to it, let me know how you do. You can go anywhere you want from the start, as long as you can figure out the puzzles. They don't give any explanation as to what some of the shapes mean and you should never have to guess, although I did use the power of deduction to get by one puzzle and still didn't know why it was what it was. And yeah, it is free on XBL right now if you have Gold. --- lolmodhagomi <cite>zebatov posted [p:900323048] in Witness... [t:76553184]...</cite> <quote>I'm stuck what seems relatively early on.

zebatov 04/26/18 1:35:58 PM #13:	@Energy_Surge I did the ones with the trees by the windmill. The last tree is the one I had to just try all the options on because I was getting frustrated ~~not seeing anything on the branches~~. (Blacked out for Link, but I'm sure he'll get it right away.) If you do get that last tree on your own, let me know why the solution is what it is. Energy, if you know, maybe post it up for me and black it out. Thanks! I also got stuck in the marshy area with the panels opposite each other. There are "l" and "---" shapes, and you need to surround them, but I can't because you can't overlap your line. I also couldn't get the panel with the triangle in it on the ground at the starting castle. I'll work on it some more later today. LinkPizza posted... Got it on XBL. Only about 50 puzzles in...

zebatov 04/26/18 2:16:16 PM #15:	Well go back to the castle when you can. On the side that you'll see first coming back from the desert, the wall is broken. You can access the upper floor from there. The voice recording is to the left across a bridge made of planks, and there might be something to the right (I can't remember). I know on the right, but on the first floor, there's a puzzle with two solutions. If you do the other solution (that turns on the cable going up the wall instead of to the main gate) it activates a puzzle on a door at the ocean-side of the castle. --- lolmodhagomi <cite>zebatov posted [p:900344565] in Witness...

If you do get that last tree on your own, let me know why the solution is what it is. Energy, if you know, maybe post it up for me and black it out. Thanks! I'll explain the trees. As you learned from the earlier panels the tree diagram on the panel matches the layout of the tree in front of the panel. And the solution matches the apple location. On the panel before the last panel, you noticed that the branches of the tree in front of the panel didn't quite match up to the diagram. You had to look at that tree from the other side to get it to match the diagram. Last tree panel however the tree doesn't match the panel at all, even if you look at it from a different direction. And there is no apple on the tree to show the solution! Well if you compare the diagram and the tree, there is exactly one fewer branches on the tree than the panel. And it appears like where there would be a branch it has broken off. The apple was on that branch and removed from the tree. For another hint, I think you can see the broken branch lying on a table on the other side of the gate the panel opens. And when you open the gate the apple is sliced and lying near the branch. I also got stuck in the marshy area with the panels opposite each other. There are "l" and "---" shapes, and you need to surround them, but I can't because you can't overlap your line. Yes, you need to surround them. But that one symbol in the middle is impossible to surround... ~~If only it was next to an edge of the panel like those other two symbols...~~ I also couldn't get the panel with the triangle in it on the ground at the starting castle. You'll see more of them strewn about the world. If you find another and succeed at solving, try to figure out why that is the solution and then test your hypothesis by going back to one you haven't solved. That's a lot about what this game is about. Discovering a solution and then determining why it is a solution until you understand the mechanic. --- The only reason lightning never strikes in the same place twice, is that the same place isn't there the second time. <cite>Energy Surge posted [p:900346493] in Witness...

zebatov 04/26/18 3:26:59 PM #18:	1) Oh man I noticed all of that, I just didn't piece it together. 2) I will take the hint and give it a go when I'm home. 3) So I figure you need to make that shape (there's one in the desert with two squares, and I made one square but failed the other) but I couldn't figure out how to form the triangle. And that one is such a simple grid. I really like the game. It's been a while since I played a puzzler, and the graphics appeal to me as well. I was thinking about buying it (about a year ago) but I'm glad I didn't since it's free now and I'll never not have Gold. I remember first seeing it when that game where you play a fireman in the forest came out. Didn't grab it, either, actually. That one didn't look finished/looked glitchy in user videos. --- lolmodhagomi <cite>zebatov posted [p:900348157] in Witness...

zebatov 04/27/18 10:17:26 AM #20:	Mr Hangman posted... It's a really nice game. If you get stuck anywhere, just try somewhere else, come back later. Also besides just looking for panels, take some time to observe the surroundings because there's a bunch of artwork hidden away that doesn't really call attention to itself, lots of plays on the perspectives theme. That's what I'm doing. Pretty impressed with the lack of direction and boundaries, actually. Creates a lot of questions that I want to work on answering. I always adventure as much as I can. I miss basically nothing. --- lolmodhagomi <cite>zebatov posted [p:900394505] in Witness... [t:76553184]...</cite> <quote><cite>Mr Hangman posted...</cite> <quote>It's a really nice game.
