Thanks for all the tips but I'm already outside, not in
the red container (?)....thing, lol
shadows everywhere and two points where I can start

Any tips for the puzzles with two starting points and one
? I'm having a really tough time visualizing what the other one is doing.

Love the game so far. The maze section was awesome, and so was the end of it that
. The other part where you had to walk over the glass tiles to solve those puzzles was a bit harder, but I solved all four of it eventually. But I couldn't solve the puzzle of all four sections combined yet. It just isn't possible to recreate the same way I walked before.

Super vague hint: Experiment and look at what that white symbol is doing in each of these puzzles.
Less vague:
The white symbol can nullify something in each puzzle
Super vague hint: Don't overthink it.
Slightly more obvious:
Pay close attention. Where do the shadows connect?

About 3 hours was my dropping off point too. I powered through the Talos Principle over the holiday and I think it wasn't really conducive to that. I'm going to stop playing when I feel frustrated or stop appreciating success.

I tried to do that area but none of the puzzles were lit up. What area do you do before that? Right now I feel like I'm not sure how to solve any of the puzzles I find anymore. I just did the area with the trees.

Couple hours in so far. This is like the Dark Souls of brain games. I love it.

Hint:
What does the white thing do in the first dot puzzle? As any dot puzzle you must get rid of all dots one way or another
Correct!

Just done the section with the lots of plants
had to look through windows to change the dot color etc, now in a lift but 4th floor wire is busted and I can't figure how to go higher, can only go back to the ground?

You can get back by redoing the panel that gets you there..and a little lateral thinking.

I'm stuck here too. I have no idea what to do. It's weird because I was actually breezing through all of the other puzzles in that section.
I tried using the rules learned on the puzzles preceding it and just cannot figure it out

Check the trees

If you mean the
ones in the forest with trees near them, then you observe the nearby tree and choose a relevant path from what's on there.
Well shit. There's a half-hour I'm never gonna get back.

Take a look at the whole panel (including the stand). I got stuck for a long time there too.
I'm in the same place!
Next floor is green so I'm assuming we need to discover what each color is and then see what they are through a green screen
Wasn't expecting this many puzzles, crikey, my head hurts with all the effort! I think I broke a panel though after making a mistake and now I'm stuck. Exploring the island looking for a solution has given me an opportunity to fully appreciate the wonderful setting. Just... wow.

Yeah. At first glace it looks like it's just a combination of the two rules they teach you throughout the section, but it doesn't seem like that's the case. Or they're throwing a wrench in the machine and giving us a new rule.

Could someone please throw me a hint on what looks to be the final puzzle from the forest? Been staring at it for a half hour!

I couldn't work that out so went elsewhere
I want to implore everyone, once again - A lot of these puzzles I'm seeing posted in this topic are ones that stumped me for a little while, too. But I was patient (mainly because I had early access and had no choice). I turned the game off. I went to a different area.
I left some puzzles, sometimes for days.
And then when I went back, I solved them.
Every single one.
I don't bring this up to brag, or to try and sound smarter than anyone else. I'm just saying... the immense feeling of satisfaction knowing that I turned on 7 lasers (and beyond) 100% by myself feels so, so good.
i can't promise that I wouldn't have asked for little hints either, if I was playing with you all. I just want to implore you all to pretend like you're the last man on Earth and you're on your own. If you give it enough time, you can do it!
You only get to play The Witness for the first time once. So just take your time! It's totally fine to leave a puzzle behind. I've solved almost 400, and there's still several I don't know how to do. But I'll get them eventually.
And it'll feel so good.

The grass one? Try using one of your five senses.

It's easier than it seems!
Each door is opened by a puzzle sequence - so you have to use different techniques on each half of the puzzle.

Any ideas?
greenhouse on the mountainside. All the puzzles before it seem to be solvable by grouping all the similar color dots together but I can't seem to find a path to do that here. Do I just need to work out the correct path or is there a different way of solving it? This one
Any ideas?
Got it! Wow it really was easy haha. Thanks!

First impressions. This game feels overly restrained. I'm all for design purity but there is a sense that they weren't confident in the narrative aspects. I know I'm just scratching the surface here.

Am I cheating by using Google Keep to take notes and save photos of clues (yes, I'm photographing my TV)? I mean, I COULD draw them on paper or whatever, but I feel like it would just take longer for no real good reason.

This game is super fascinating and these puzzles are making my brain do strange acrobatics. I feel like I should take a break after playing for the first hour and a half but I kind of want to get to a puzzle that totally stumps me before I stop.

Remember that in the preceding puzzles, sometimes you followed the shadows, and sometimes you avoided them.
