Number of obelisks completed. Basically just finishing all the environmental puzzles in an area.

Well then I guess I'm done. Dangit.
It indicates how many pillars you've fully completed. So it's somewhat redundant but the game still tracks it.
Yeah I remember
there being a panel with no clue how to solve it, you're right but I don't remember where it was anymore. I'll try new game. I watched that secret easter egg on yt already though, crazy stuff.
Ah. That makes sense I guess; but redundant, as you said.
I'm in no rush to finish those.

Has anyone figured out the meaning for the
4 floor puzzles in the final caves area? I feel like there's either something else that hasn't been found yet, or Blow specifically made these to fuck with everyone. The loud sound they make is too noticeable to be accidental and the fact they're multi-solution makes the area seem intentional.
I want to answer this without spoiling anything. But I don't really know how.
The environment and puzzles feel very interconnected. The more you play, the more you see how and why.
Thanks, I got that from the tutorial as well, still can't solve the puzzle...I hope I get to some more of these puzzles in other places, maybe I'll get it then.

Can't rotate the pieces like you can the originals. You're making new pieces, that aren't skewed.

Can someone explain the rules for the mirror puzzle in the challenge where there are yellow, black, and blue dots? I collect them all but it doesn't work
RepairmanJack

In the treetops or tree house area.
Are you using the different lines for the different dots?

Im just gobbling them all up
The colours have to match the lines? That sounds so hard :/
I threw up some general tips on the last page.
Congratulations.
See. It's not that hard :]fuck
fuck me
i got it
oh god i got it
spent the entire day on it lol
first plat ever
Congratulations.
What part exactly are you stuck on?

523 Panels Done! Fuck. I was stuck on the color puzzle in the secret cave for the longest time. Finally just clicked what to do and knocked it out. Still have a healthy chunk of +'s to do.
But I feel close enough to 100% (or whatever we figure that is at this point) and Firewatch is right around the corner that if I don't get there by the time it drops I'll still feel pretty good leaving the game here. Hell of an experience. My poor brain.
Thanks, Thekla!
Don't be a sucker like me. You know about fast line using R2, right?

im not ruling the game out and hopefuly eventually i' ll give another go. However, filling different type of mazes been the main puzzle mechanic doesn't settle well with me.
The actual colors in my illustration are meaningless. I just figured it out by assigning an arbitrary but consistent color to specific relations and kept it consistent within the puzzle. Ie. if a box showed white on all three colors it got a specific color, if it was black on all 3 colors it was a specific color, a specific color for white on green but black on blue and red, a specific color for white on blue but black on green and red, etc etc.

Cool, yeah, makes sense. At first glance I thought you had peered through the void and were observing
colors

145 puzzles in, just finished
area. Some of these
puzzles gave me a hard time and i still don't know why even after beating them. I mean, I'd swear that for some of them i would find a solution to the puzzle that the game would not accept just because it was not the predetermined solution that the game had as valid.
Like i would create
. I somehow hope that is just that i did not know what all the rules were and that just made things more difficult to me because otherwise i call bullshit on these puzzles!

tetris
Like i would create
a shape which included all the necessary tetriminos within the line and it just would not work, so i had to just try all possibilities until i found the one the game wanted

^^ Sounds like you may not have completely grasped the rule set? My best guess would be:
In any case post a screenshot of what worked and what you expected to work. Easier to explain with an example.
Trying to rotate tetriminos that you can't?

The only situation where the game would check by specific solution is when you can beat something multiple ways and they would have different outcomes (even then, they'd just add rules to check that). Otherwise, they'd be coded to check rules. You probably just didn't fully understand the puzzle rules.

The tetrominoes are the least fun in the game for me. My brain isn't wired that way. Everything else I've been able to pick up the rules and fly but not those.

I'm guessing you just misunderstood a rule. I don't remember ever finding a correct solution that wasn't accepted. If you want to be sure maybe post a picture of what you think should work that doesn't and we can help.145 puzzles in, just finishedarea.

I'll never hear 'In the Hall of the Mountain King' the same way again.
Jesus.
OK wait,
Jesus.
OK wait,
nevermind I figured it out.
There are some initially counter intuitive rules with those puzzles, but once you know them, they can be followed reliably. It sounds like you didn't quite grasp some aspect of them, but got through anyways .145 puzzles in, just finishedarea.

woooo, congrats! I saw you getting frustrated by that, I'm glad you overcame it.
Aah bollocks, cheers, I would've stared at that all day!
Now, can someone give me a tip with this BS?
Just....how....

Can someone tell me if there is a location that teaches you how to complete the puzzles where there are black nodes at every intersection in a puzzle?
I think I remember that being in the town?
You definitely know everything you need to know, it's just a matter of execution. This one definitely took me longer than the rest of the puzzles in that room.
Around the outside walls of the tutorial garden, that's where it's just the nodes and no other elements.
This one is horrible, I can't see it at all.
Would you mind telling me which node you started from?
Hint:
You can only start at one node.
You can only start at two nodes.
You can start at any node, but you can only start at one without passing through another.
You can start at any node, but choosing one will make it impossible to complete the puzzle.
I thought I understood these star puzzles in the treehouse. Turns out, I'm just blagging it, cos I have no fucking idea what I'm trying to do here:

It sounds like you're over thinking it. For a hint, remember
the rule for the star shapes is that it must be paired with one thing of the same colour
I bet you are assuming the rules for the star shapes are more restrictive than they actually are.
Okay. Then can you explain why this is an acceptable solution:

Whilst this isn't:

?
because in the 2nd image, you have
4 orange stars in one shape. you can only have 2 of the same color per shape.

Look carefully at the difference. Particularly at the middle section of the invalid one.
A star can only be paired with one other similarly coloured item.
