Yeah basically. Just as long as the rules for the other pieces are accounted for and the
pairs aren't in the same group you should be good.

Just beat the monastery. For the last puzzle I was like "Blow you motherfucker" when I saw the

broken branch on the ground
It took me 4 hours with no break to beat the challenge. I can't count the number of times I failed on the last 2 puzzles. But Platinum finally!
I spent 6 more hours looking around for leftovers and I'm sitting at 518
My saturday was basically 100% The Witness, and I regret nothing!

Sorry, I don't really remember this one much. Think it was just a shortcut so it doesn't really stand out in my memory.
I need help, this is pretty early in the game (I know), it's in the cliffy part:

I find this to be pretty disappointing too, that people are so quick to rob themselves of half the fun. If you're not enjoying the journey, the destination surely isn't going to satisfy you.
Those puzzles seem a bit weird, being in the game. Blow has talked about how certain things(like too much story) would create a lot of noise in the game and would have distracted people from what's there already, and then...that section
. Maybe it's some kind of double negative or something.Road of Ease

Is there something I'm missing? Should I go to another area?
upside down Y
I'm pretty sure I found the place where you practice using it
(close to a river with a wooden plank as a bridge)
I separate the colored blocks but it's always the upside down Y that's the problem. Also, the one with the two dots make different noises when I go diagonal or 90° but I have no idea what it's doing.

I was devastated to find the laser box. I felt like these puzzles didn't get difficult in the slightest yet and that there should have been two more full sets of related puzzles.

Experiment. Making mistakes is fine, just observe what's happening when you do.
The white tristar
absorbs 1 thing that is wrong with the puzzle and then completes it. For example, if the puzzle has 3 dots you need to hit, leave 1 unhit and also segmented with the tristar and you will solve the puzzle.

Stared at a mountain puzzle for like half an hour.
That's out next week? I'm slowing to a crawl with this game at the moment. I'm not sure I will be getting it at launch now.

What's going on with that artifacting, GPU issues?
As for the puzzle itself, think about the theme of the area and
look behind you
Define beat. Many people have gotten through the endgame and seen the ending now, but fewer have been able to get through the post-endgame secrets and 100% it.

How do you get through the bridge in the mountain with a panel on either side? If i make it crossable then I can't do anything with the other side
There should be one for each dot you need to pass through with the line. I took a picture quickly each attempt to navigate the maze easier.
You mean the shipwreck? If you have no clue what to do, go do something else, this is the last puzzle I did and it's a mix of lot of things.

Relax a bit and make sure you're sure of what's going on in the puzzle? Revisit older areas that dealt with those concepts, if you need to, to remind yourself of how exactly they work.

Thank you! I got it now
The shipwreck puzzle is honestly poorly designed. I think it is the only puzzle in the entire game that introduces multiple things that no other puzzle has used. Those being (solution spoilers)
overlapping noises and the use of generic hexagons vs. Specifically colored hexagons. The puzzle basically breaks the game's own rules and is giving a ton of people a ton of frustration

Thanks guys, I'll come back later as I'm so confused by the fact that it isn't infinite if that makes sense?
Always 2 puzzles, and the maze reflects the easy singular 4th puzzle. I strongly suggest drawing a big map of the 5x5 pillars on a piece of paper, and placing 2 tokens (coins, pins, whatever) at the spots the 2 orange dots are, it's much faster to move those 2 tokens than to take screenshots and watch them while you play.
I agree, this puzzle was strangely frustrating and the
sounds were just too cryptic and chaotic to be easily decyphered. I knew what to do, but I just couldn't parse the sounds.
Could someone give me the solution on this one.
I'm hearing impaired. I know the what to do but can't put it together.
The first noise (the dripping water) goes low-high-medium. The second noise (the creaking of the ship over more extended period of time) goes medium-low-medium-high. Each corresponds to one of the colors and you are supposed to use the black hexagons to fill in the blanks
Thanks. This is better than a straight up solution.
I need someone to explain the shipwreck puzzle to me. I've been listening to the dripping and wailing for ages and it's beginning to feel like chinese water torture. This is the only puzzle in the game that I feel comfortable giving up on and resorting to a guide but I can't find one anywhere.

Can someone explain how this works? I found the solution but I have no idea why that's the solution. This one feels like it broke its own rules but I'm probably just missing it.

Didn't one of the shapes basically formed into a horizontal line? I thought they always had to be that certain shape.
Only puzzle I looked up for a solution, I had everything except the sequence. This is the link I used.
That's the video I used to solve it. I had already figured out everything mentioned in that video, but I -still- don't understand how that translates to the solution, even after seeing it and using it myself. Can someone spell it out for me?
It hasn't broken the rules. I'd suggest going back to the first puzzle in the series and try to fully understand what the hollow blue squares are doing.

Saw everyone talking about the shipwreck. Wanted to avoid hints, so sat down and thought about it away from the game.

The blue (negative piece) can be placed like a regular tetris block, but instead of adding, it substracts its shape. So it can solve superposed pieces or just remove extra squares. In the second puzzle if you swap the 2 bottom L pieces and keep the upper one in place, and then compare it to the solution: you have 2 squares above the bottom blue line, and 2 more superposed squares in the middle of the bottom line. If you put the negative square there, you make the 2 outside squares and the 2 superposed squares disappear.
edit: in the first puzzle, you cross the Z and the bar, and you have one superposed square. Place the negative blue square there to remove the superposed square and the shape becomes valid.
