What's the goal of that puzzle?

nazis

to google it after failling it once or twice
same with every puzzle basically

...

Okay, I like that.

Must be disheartening if you can't even put your mind to something that simple.

The four white bishops start on the far left side, the four black on the far right side. The play area is a 4x5 grid. The goal is to switch places of the colors, but you can only move them diagonally and you can't place them where the other color can take them.

Mutagen Puzzle in Underrail, I suck at puzzles.

That motherfucking bug puzzle in Sanitarium

My intellect is far to great to be challenged by a mere game

what game

>other color can take them.

CAN'T, I mean "can't take them".

Professor Layton and the Elemental workshop 3.

I solved like 2 or 3 of those and got the L and S
I just guessed it
wasn't it something like Pearls or Corals?

Pearls.

Some library puzzle in Wild Arms, I just gave up

Neat.
Tried to do it mentally, but without an interactive game or physical objects, it's hard as fuck to visualize.

Logic says that your first goal should be to control as little space as possible with one set of colors, set the other pieces in places that they originally weren't allowed to get to, and start setting the pieces back into their proper places.

There's probably an elegant solution where you solve it in like 20 moves.

This triggers my PTSD

Yes thank you user for telling us you got the joke. You're awesome and useful on this earth.

Here you go

video ended on a weak note
7/10

...

If you're trying to figure it out sure its nightmare but guides have got the whole solution listed.
Mourning's end 2 on the other hand has you running around a multi stage dungeon - moving light beams around while respawning enemies attack you so even if you're following a guide they're going to rush you into making a mistake.

the fuck

You're welcome.

Oh cmon now your shitting me right?

That one became a joke after EoC's regen move.

Elemental workshop 3 takes hours even with a guide, not that you should count cheating in the first place though.

Why the hell did they keep this puzzle in Alter Code F

...

I've watched 2 lets plays of that and the amount of puzzles they just couldn't figure out was amazing.
The code on the jail cell wall stumped alot of people aswell.

...

pretty neat surprise actually

>a large single eye in a Zelda game? obviously I have to stab it or pierce it
>oh

yep

I love the solutions for those puzzles in RE4 they are so simple it's ridiculous.

Has a game ever made a puzzle that was actually impossible and reveals this to the player after some time / actually has an alternate real simple solution?

Surprised nobody's posted this yet.

Pro tip: move the central piece into the middle, then just move the outer pieces in a circle.

Wait a minute

...

Probably something that the brain is supposed to eventually figure out, but it took me ages.

>when you convince yourself that a puzzle is impossible and you think the game is fucking with you

This one wasn't too bad for me. The last one and one of the earlier ones took me a while though.

Wait a minute, that card...

FUCKING RARE FUCK YOU REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I just meant all of the puzzle boy puzzles in general.
I don't remember them at all, just that I gave up and used a guide like 1/3rd of the way through.

JUST

Opinions of puzzles that require real world knowledge or research?

>Elemental workshop 3 takes hours even with a guide, not that you should count cheating in the first place though.

Actually once Mod Doctor made a mechanism that allows you to move the blocks without having physically run there it takes like 20 minutes tops with a guide.

They can fuck off. You should be able to solve them using in-game clues and logic, nothing else.

not gonna read that

Legit took me 30 minutes because I thought in answer was somewhere inside the dungeon.

Is this 7th guest?

They're garbage.

There were a few in Puzzle Agent 2, and that's one of the reasons why it was much worse then the first game.

>puzzle solution involves fibonacci numbers
simple once you know about it but not guessing that they're needed for this puzzle.

...

Only time i've come across fibonacci sequence was in please don't touch anything
But it wasn't really a puzzle since it literally tells you about the guy, after that it's just real world knowledge about who he was and what his was about.

yes

That took a while.

Hey, good job. It's harder than it looks.

This music is pretty creepy

I hate puzzles with a passion, unless I'm playing a Dr Brain game.

The worst is when you're playing dnd and your shitty dm gives you this obnoxious puzzle or riddle he's stayed up all night devising and shoots you this smug-ass grin. That's when it's time to piss off back to town, buy some livestock and start a farm.

Oh shit, I got it in 38 moves.

I will never forget how my grandma asked me to "help my older brother solving that puzzle in his new game he got. He can't advance and so sad."

took me some tries but damn my braindead brother

Sunless Sea has a tower of babel puzzle to enter a temple. Your character even remarks how that's babby's first ancient riddle, before you get a few moves in and finally realize it has so many disks it will take forever to solve.
so you can go grab some dynamite and blast that shit open

Where do I start.

...

They made an irobot game?

>smashed the base game with only a few trip ups
>can't even finish the first level of gehenna

talos principle, GOAT fp puzzle game

huh? i click on the bishops an they randomly move.

that means it only had one possible move

If you look it up, apparently you are supposed to the press the button with that symbol for the number of times next to the 'x'. Also, you have to do it order from left to right.

but why?

why can´t i move in any direction in the starting position?

I remember being stuck at the triforce shard search back in the GameCube Wind Waker version. I was around 10 years old and thought that you need to solve pic related at the private oasis island to aquire the triforce shard. I spent around 10 days till i saw that you could use the grappling hook. Man i felt like a piece of retarded waste of skin.

You can't move them into a situation where they could be captured by the opposite bishops.

this is so fucking easy, re3 definitely had the easiest puzzles im ho

read the rules

but then again. i can only move randomly diagonally upwards but not downwards

Fun Fact: You can actually use an autoclicker to go through all the many thousands of moves to finish it properly

The door doesn't open

OH fuck me, this bs got me stuck at the quest for like a week. I gave up after 20 minutes because i thought i missed the clue or something. After i returned a week later, i had already solved alot of these ring door puzzles, so i knew what i had to do. But oh my, why the hell was this whole shit so fucking "hidden" from the player lol.

kek

that puzzle was weird

but the one with the money eye was even weirder
