Later it’ll become less obvious which object a puzzle is referring to. Your goal is to translate the 3D tree into the 2D puzzle format, and lead your line path to which branch the apple is located on. If you pay attention to the environment you’ll notice a tree nearby with a single apple.

In the case of the early puzzles, you’re provided a puzzle layout that appears to be a set of tree branches. Object location puzzles are introduced early on in the experience, but are made far more complex later in the adventure. You’ll want to take into consideration the sun’s position as well as any objects that have flat edges that could make them perfect for reflecting glare. It is recommended that you walk in a zig zag pattern while trying to locate glare locations in an effort to avoid missing the solution perspective. These are exclusively found in the desert region of the game world, and are notably difficult and time consuming. Glare puzzles require you to move around in the game world and use the sun’s glare off of objects to reveal the answer. However, later on you’ll want to carefully read your inputs and their movement along all paths for each grid that you move through to avoid dead ends and meet the requirements of multi-puzzle type combinations. Typically, subsequent sets of the line are mirrored, meaning you’re asked to read your movements backward and forwards to complete puzzles.Įarly on symmetry puzzles can be completed easily by forcing movement along a path as one line or another collides into boundaries. In this uncommon puzzle type you’re given two or more lines that are drawn as you move your cursor. In other words, you can have two orange and purple stars in the same area, but any other sets of those two colors must be separated from them. The tricky part that isn’t immediately obvious is that stars of different color don’t have to be separated. This means ensuring that two stars of the same color are in the same area, and separated from any two other stars of the same color. These colored stars must be grouped in sets of two of each color. This time around, colors are denoted with star-shaped icons. Couples PuzzlesĬouples puzzles are once again a variation of the black and white squares puzzle. If you do so correctly, that color will be unlit once you reach the puzzle endpoint. With these puzzles you’ll want to think about completing them similar to a black and white squares puzzle but with one disallowed color in the same region as a prong icon. You essentially have to complete a black and white squares puzzle, but with the additional randomness of color cancelations within any area where the prong icon is present. However, they are made much more complicated by the cancelation of one green or red light within the boundary area where the three prong icon is located. Cancellation PuzzlesĬancel puzzles are yet another variation of the black and white squares puzzle, but with green and red lights instead. Note that squares of the same color can be in the same region of your solution. The rules remain the same as the white and black squares puzzle despite the additional complexity.Īs seen above, you need to ensure that your path cuts between all the various colors and separates them. Instead of only having to separate two colors of square, there are three or even four colors present that all have to be separated into different sections. The colored squares puzzle is a variation of the black and white squares puzzle. Continue to find the boundaries where white squares touch black squares, separate them, and you can safely ignore groups of the same color. Later in the game you’ll notice that these black and white squares will be grouped in complex ways.

Squares of the same color can remain in the same region of the solution. As seen above, the paths cut between the black and white squares before heading to the endpoint.

What you need to do to meet the requirements of this puzzle type is use your path to separate any black squares from adjacent white squares. The white and black squares puzzle is frequently encountered, especially as it evolves into more complex variations later in the game. It might seem impossible at first, but you’ll figure it out in time. Later in the game if you see a puzzle that has a black dot on every single grid, you may be surprised to learn that you have to path through the entire puzzle board in order to complete it. In the image above you’ll notice that four black dots are left uncleared, resulting in an incomplete puzzle. When you see black dots on a puzzle board, what you must do is ensure that your path from start to finish overlaps all of these dots.
