I found it, thanks a bunch.
Question about the
area.
Keep
Is there two ways to activate the laser? I went through the four hedge mazes first then went up the tower and activated the laser. Then I went back down and did the other side where you had to walk and light up the puzzle path on all four of those puzzles. Then I went back up to the tower and did the puzzle that looked over that area and nothing happened? Could I have done the walking light up side only and activated the laser? Or am I missing something?
Yup, just an alernative way
to activate the laser.
Ok thanks.
Shiiiiiit I finished a Blow game without looking up any solutions. Didn't think I'd manage it. Ok, I haven't really finished yet, not by a long shot, but I've done enough to see the ending. I think I know what Blow is going for with this game but I need to see more post endgame stuff to be sure.

Last trophy spoiler: Look at this only if you have nearly 500 puzzles
Really! Secret challenge spoiler
The final challenge was fantastic, after hours and hours on the island all your puzzle skills tested. Although hard it's clearly not impossible, and a delightwith Grieg pushing you on! Very clever with the mechanic to let the player spot which of the three panels was solvable.
A few questions
- Does the orchard/organ area or the island with the cup statue near the town have anything to offer. Haven't even found an environmental puzzle there
- Dou you really have to listen to the entire 6th video? It's an hour long!
- I would like some guidance on the ship puzzle, which sound is which would help. And do you need to do the dots separately, or the pink before the blacks?
- Dou you really have to listen to the entire 6th video? It's an hour long!

It's subtly teaching you another "rule," too:
You don't need to complete every puzzle in every area.
May I ask what mechanic you're referring to? Need some minor help, that thing is killing me.

First question:
I think I read that there are at least environmental puzzles, plus... you will see the cup statue again if you find one more thing.
Second question:
I haven't done it, but I suspect this is what people earlier in the thread were complaining about...
Third question:
You can match up the sounds unambiguously if you let them cycle all the way. And there is a reason why "before" or "after" are irrelevant here...
I hope this isn't too much of a giveaway, but:
This was how I discovered it: At the top of the mountain, I noticed something odd about what a pair of statues were holding. Something complete, but still incomplete. Something I wouldn't have noticed the first time I was up there.
Hopefully that helps. I'm trying to stay vague.
Thank youuuu, now I have more puzzles to solve. I'm a terrible explorer.

Are you on the last challenge. I don't know if mechanic was the right word, just a clever way to know if the player truly understands and ar familiar with how the solution would more or less look like.
But when I completed it I waited for all three panels to light up, if I didn't see the solution directly. Then I saw which of the screens had the colours grouped in a easy way. If that didn't help, I ruled out the one with a 2*2 section with different colours diagonally

Thought there would be some subtle cue that one could pick up on, e.g. the order in which the screens light up or something. But still, that's good advice, thanks! May I also ask you if you have any suggestions for the labyrinth part? That's by far the worst time-sink.

There is a simple way for you to see which way to go! In fact on your way there you already has solved which route to go and where to find the puzzles. Hope that helps!

Anyone know how to get this environmental puzzle?
That has already been made into a thread
I know that when you are at a distance, the orange container inside the building lines up to fill in the circle and MOST of the line. But it's too far to the right toreach all the way to the goalpoint. I've tried staying on the boat as it is moving and wait for something to line up going in all possible directions, but that didn't work. I've tried different spots on land, but that didn't work. I even tried different spots on line while waiting for the empty boat to line up in between me and the line, but that doesn't work either, or I just haven't found the right spot yet. Does anyone know?
That has already been made into a thread
I did it with the boat so try that again.

Easter Eggs or meaningful clues...? That is one of the questions that I think make this game wonderful. There are tons of little touches littered throughout the world, both visually and auditory that have me thinking of this. Then the game does things like
which make you think that you can't take anything for granted.
All that being said there are a number of things I've noticed that I would like to ask the folks here about. If they allude to something more, or are only little flourishes. I'd prefer not to be spoiled about the former, but a small acknowledgement that there IS more behind the curtain for these things would be cool to know. They are below and spoiler tagged:
1.
I find these things everywhere and in somewhat meaningful places which makes me wonder about their significance. And example of an easy to find one is

I found this one the other day in
and stood there for a good 5 minutes to make sure I wasn't going nuts. To make things even stranger

What's weird here is that it very obviously
There's some weird shit going on here. The feeling of scratching the tip of the iceberg is strong with this game,
allowing you to paint the landscape to unlock the totems

White daisies

Faint faint drone-like music
the pottery barn, when you walk in.
the vase that was raised up slightly more than the others seemed to be emitting the noise louder than the rest.
3.
Bubbling rushing water and splashing
by a large boulder right outside of the starting fort, at the entrance to the path around it's back at the cliffs edge.
is coming from within this one rock, and NOT a general environmental sound. It quickly fades the second you begin to move away from that spot. And it sounds like it's coming form an enclosed space.

On the boat, or standing on land and wait for the boat to line up?

It was mentioned previously but I love how the trailer of the game literally shows all the locations of the game, even the most hardcore hidden secret locations (known today), and at the same time, shows completely wrong mechanics for all the puzzles!

What if the orange container was a little longer?

Are you saying I need to solve the puzzle on the container? I haven't done that yet because I don't know what all the symbols do.

Do we know if it's possible to lock you out
the challenge if you didn't get any environmental puzzles in the beginning?

I don't think anyone has any theories on these, but I'm very much interested in figuring out whether #1 in particular leads to anything. There is one that is so obscurely and deliberately hidden that I think it has to be trying to tell you something.

You have to be on a boat and you have to drive past the dock and keep going. So stop once you are in in the inner loop and then make the line draw through and up to the greenhouse area. I spent hours on it, hard to explain.

I just finished the game, then came into this thread, turned off basically all the spoiler tags and realised I was nowhere near done. :lol

I did it while on the boat, as the boat was moving past the dock.
Make sure you've opened the container inside that building.

Right!! Not to mention the very in your face presentation of
the group of them by the windmill, in a very obvious X shape. But of course, pressing X (on PS4) does nothing.
I just don't know how to "collect" them
appear within a shadow.

I'm especially curious about the statues, and if something special can be derived with how you frame them in your field of view.
For example, from the right perspective you can line up a statue of a man in the marsh area to look like it's reaching his hand out for the huge female statue on the side of the mountain. When I lined them up, I expected to see a "+ puzzle" pattern in the background somewhere that I could draw, but I didn't notice anything.
Then there's a whole area of the island seemingly dedicated to only a statue of a man kneeling before a gold goblet.
I've got to believe that stuff is there for a reason, but what that reason is, I have no idea.

Ok, there's supposed to be another one close to the one I talked about above.
shitty offscreen picture
Anyone know where it is. I'm guessing it's a tricky one, because the guide I'm using (and which I'm ONLY using for the environmental puzzles btw) doesn't even acknowledge that it exists
It's the one just above it on the obelisk. The top one on this

One particular thing I noticed about these:
Over by the windmill there's a group of these in a very clear 'X' design. I think you might need to get there round the back, via the orchard.
Yeah, I was quite chuffed I found that.
A tip:
Ride the boat some more
There's a tutorial somewhere that covers them.
They can be rotated.

Yes, have you been to the March?
For a thought
What is your first thought when you see the angle
A clue
an angle is impossible, you must correct it.
More clue
You will never see a cube piece at an angle
Yet another clue
Is there multiple ways of "correcting" the angle
What to do
Freely rotate it to fit the puzzle.

Do you know if
there's one in every area? I assume there would have to be, but I have only found them in symmetry, the town, the marsh, the mountain, and of course the windmill.
It's telling that
the one in symmetry is also the earliest in-your-face one. Like it's following the progression of difficulty.

Somewhat related to that mystery is another one that I'm sure many probably noticed as well:
In the dojo, or ornate room with the big tree in the center, you can line up the holes in the back wall perfectly with figures in shadow (or was it light?) on the stone slab behind it (where the laser emits from)
There's also a tiny little
dog statue
on top of the ceiling of a room in the starting fort has a prism-like gem resting gently on one of it's pillows which makes me think of some sort of shrine business or something

I'm 90% sure there's at least one in every area. I haven't systematically gone through, but I started to take notes of them after I noticed how common they were. I found one in the treehouse area and there's also one in the area with the tree shadow puzzles
Also of note with that:
The shadow of it - which is very prominent - appears to show him brandishing the goblet - in a sense the opposite of the tableau as viewed normally.
