Have you tried isolating 4 squares from the right bottom. so from the beginning go 1 step right then one up then two right then one up then one right then all the way to the end.

Quick question about what I think is the final puzzle on the first floor of the greenhouse-type thing. I don't need a solution but want to know if I'm using the right logic or if I'm stuck trying to solve a puzzle in an unsolvable way.
Is this last one (the third one in the series of puzzles that change colour behind the glass) supposed to be solved by looking at the colours through the yellow/greenish window? The first one was through the other window, 2nd was through the blue door so presumably this one is through the yellow/green window but I can't seem to solve it that way. I just want to make sure that i'm nit trying to solve it in a way that isn't possible!
Thank you, i was stuck on that same damn puzzle for what seemed like ages your hint helped me big time
I'm listening to the Giant Bombcast and listening to them talk about over-thinking or misunderstanding a rule, and not realizing it until the last panel.
Time to wander off and try something different for a bit, and look at it with fresh eyes. (Edit: they just talked about the exact puzzle I am suck on, perfect.)
*wanders to a new area*
Fuck, time to break out the graph paper. :lol

I'm so dumb. This game makes me feel like I'm a God and then it rips that feeling right from me.
Thank you!
Gotcha gotcha.
When I found those my mind was blown and then they started standing out all over the place.
Why do I have to go to sleep I just want to play more Witness :3

Also, if you want to keep track of the ones you have or are looking for. There is a weird vibrating monolith in each zone that is inscribed with the secret lines. When you solve a world puzzle, the firework-glitter-stuff flies into the nearest monolith for that area.

It's identical to the solution next to it.

Can I butt in here and askhow that is the solution? I was stuck on that same puzzle after solving all of the other panels, except on the others in the series, the tetris shape had to be made in the same position as the picture with one of the squares in the shape being the one with the picture (if my terrible explanation makes sense lol). How come this last one has to be flipped around? Not sure what I am missing
That has never been a rule. As long as the symbols are contained within the same area the "filled" shape doesn't need to overlap with the block that has that particular symbol. So in that puzzle as long as the I and two Ls are in the same area the position they end up in doesn't need to be anywhere near the original symbol.
Yeah, I got chills when I first discovered them.
The sounds & particle effects when you're getting them are awesome.

Just take a picture with your phone! I have been doing that and it is way easier that using my drawing skills, lol. One click and you have the exact image to rotate, etc. If it makes you feel any better I've been stuck at the Quarry for over 2 hours.
Same here. I feel like i have tried absolutely everything.
I even went back to the tutorials for them and did those fine but when i get to the red ones on the other side i can solve the first one on the door but that's it.
Clearly there's something i'm missing. Trying to hold out as long as I can before I look for some hints.
Nah, quarry is the spot with the rocks and
with the big factory-looking building
I'm finally making my way through the Greenhouse...what the fuck?
lmao i feel like i say that at the beginning of every new area.
Need some help with this one:
The first panel inside the room you open after completing the initial 10 panels inside the greenhouse, in the yellow/blue room. It's a 4x4 panel, with grey blocks in the top left/right corners, with dark blue blocks between, second row is 3 light blue and 1 green, and third and fourth rows are a green square and then two purple, and two red blocks.
I understood the concept of the intro panels, of separating the colors, but it seems impossible to effectively separate everything here. Is there another trick that I'm missing?

Thank you so much! Must have somehow brute-forced my way through these with my own false rule.
My only hint would be to not stand so close to the panel, get some distance.

Anyone know in vague way what the black pillar things that hum are?
Yeah, finding the first one of those was probably the highlight of the game for me so far. It
completely and instantly shifts your perspective of the world in such a satisfying way.
I don't own a smart phone. But I've got graph paper! I used to graph dungeons when I was a kid, I'm actually looking forward to a bit of old school noodling.

Any hints for this panel in the house with the tree in the middle up from the village? (Partial solution shown in the image)

I got the first 3, but this last one is killing me because
it doesn't connect from top to bottom. I changed the perspective and found another set of branches that line up with some gridlines, but not enough to do a full connection.
Okay
Thank you, boys!edit: omg ghaleon what year are you living in

The tetris is fucking evil.
I can't believe how much of the swamp I cleared tonight though. I was stuck on some for a good half hour. You either gotta use pen and paper or visualize the combinations in your head.
You should let yourself figure that out naturally. Trust me, you will be thankful.
POSSIBLY MASSIVE SPOILERS, DON'T LOOK IF YOU AREN'T PRETTY MUCH DONE WITH EVERYTHING

Saw some people mentioning turning a cloud white but not knowing what for. I'm sure it's been found by now, but if anyone needed to know, here it is. Probably allows you to solve this, because I couldn't with the cloud grey.
wdit: I can confirm that this works

Oh my god. I very well could be overthinking some of these, though in general, the Tetris puzzle rules seem pretty iffy. For this one I wasn't actually fitting the line I drew for each piece, onto that particular tile that's why I was stuck. The way I understand these is that, as long as each piece exists and fits within the constraint you drew, it can be anywhere in the constraint. That is to say, the line I draw makes up the constraint, and as long as each piece on the board can fit anywhere within that constraint (like a jigsaw puzzle) it's correct? I remember The red tiles upstairs to this had it set up this way but for this one it looks like each piece actually lays over its own indicated tile. Very confusing.
This one was evil, but you got the right idea there in your picture. My hint is to look around (strong hint
nearby
You must have accidentally stumbled upon it then, I have no idea how that can happen. Just keep playing, I don't even want to give the slightest hint because the payoff of your first +1 realization is an immense feeling.
Fucking unbelievable lol. I drew 3 graphs trying to fit them all together and I even went and just blindly cut off
2 boxes at any end to see if I would get lucky since I figured that if in fact all of them fit together, 2 boxes wouldn't be included

I'm pretty sure it
activated another pump. Drained a red room, where I'm now stuck on another set of absolutely brutal tutorials.
In the meantime, I took another hour and beat the

Fixed the laser
Now have

quarry
I had to cut out pieces of paper and shuffle them around in order to solve that one.
Fuck me.. I solved something like 72 puzzles last night.
Tonight, I dunno, 4-6 maybe.. I just couldn't find the basic versions that teach the stuff I need. Then I came across a puzzle and spent waaaay too much time stumbling for the answer before finally going looking for a hint.
All I'll say, I won't be playing in my normal way...
It just never occurred to me that might be a thing.

I was so proud and happily surprised when I found

P.S: yeah, fuck those tetris shapes!

I see
a staircase shaped branch on the ground. I tried imagining that it had fallen off the tree and drew it in, but that's not it.
Edit: WHOAAA. Got it. Damn that was crazy

As soon as I saw that there were 7 goddamn shapes I knew it would be better to think backwards.
30 squares and 28 need to be filled, or rather 2 boxes are empty. Hmm, I'll just trial and error all the combinations and save a fuck load of time.
Also a cool and useful realization about the
monolith
The monolith is divided into sections and each side points to the general direction of a world puzzle and the shapes the lines will have
At least I think that's the case, I only tried it once but it worked as expected. This makes it much easier to find them.

Mark puzzle spoilers guys
Just you wait, pal. just you wait.
Oh boy.
haha. Yes, this game demands your full attention.
Reach 290 +12 today. Stopping for tonight because I actually got a brief headache and actually felt slightly nauseous when trying to locate any puzzle I wasn't either stuck at or wasn't too difficult. Anyone else feel literally sick during games at certain moments?
This actually happens to me sometimes when playing games where I spent too much time trying to figure something out and just can't.
