Can't wait for this wave of people struggling in the swamp to get to the blue blocks.
For your second spoiler.... (just a hint)
Examine the surrounding area VERY closely...look all over

Thanks. I'm an idiot didn't notice the bridge
leading to the house could change directions as well.
I know... after how much trouble I'm already having I'm scared for when more things are added to it...
Just completed the

All right, I've finished the game. Well, the endgame at least. So, non-spoilery stuff: when you light 7 beacons and get to the mountain and do what follows, when next you load the game you'll be in a new game. HOWEVER if you want to continue from where you were, it seems you can just go load a save from just before you triggered the ending. What I don't know is if there's anything different about this new game, so I'm kind of wondering if I should just wing it and resolve everything to get back to where I was.
I can't believe I was able to do all those endgame puzzles on my own, hah... I did have to draw some of them out though to make it easier to process.

Imo the Swamp is either the hardest or the second to hardest area.
You took two routes to open each gate, you'll use two techniques in this puzzle.
Nice, good job! I'm stuck for the longest time in
the symmetry room where the floor is the grid and you need to draw the pieces you chose.

Finally got past the 2nd walking button puzzle just to come across those Tetris blocks on the stepping puzzle -_- okay now I'm pissed off as I can't do those. Guess I'm off exploring again...

Again, could someone please explain
Thanks in advance
the "star/sun" symbols. I know they need to be seperated to pairs when many, but what's the rules for when there's only one?
Thanks in advance

Hmmm..
I can not seem the finish the last puzzle in the Quarry inside the main building.

I know that I need to block the path so that all the greens are still in range of the 'triangle' and that the red symbols are blocked off instead of one, but I can not find the pattern for it.

Just a heads-up, spoiler tagged images don't work on mobile. The mobile app happily ignores the spoiler tags on images. You're better off just using links for the images.
Vague hint:
Remember what you did to get those doors to open?
One door was opened following one set of rules. The other door was opened using another set of rules.
The right half of the puzzle requires the line to be in light. The other half requires your lines to be in shade.

Are you talking about the
shipwreck? Purple panel, lots of colored dots... I think it's the one Blow said less than 1% of the players would complete. Haven't heard of anyone doing it so far.
I did, a page back:
That one took me a while too: basically, what you know by now is that Stars always need to be in pairs (and no more), and that they can interact with other colors: but there's no other star in that puzzle. So it's 'teaching' you that 'stars always need to be together with something else of the same color, no matter the symbol' and you have to steal a black square for the star. I think the one right after would be a better tutorial though.
That's awesome.

Bravo sir!
Yeah you're just wrong.
The swamp is definitely difficult, but the ruleset is completey consistent the entire time.

I answered this earlier, but think of the ways those blocks can fit in the puzzle area. The game teaches you about the blocks in the first puzzle, then reduces the playing area so you have to think more creatively.
Consider the fact that any shape you make with the pieces cannot be hollow, as the line could not draw around the inside in one go. The marked tiles with the shapes you are creating also must be inside the "safe" area, or a separate area if necessary for the puzzle.

x's being where the blocks fit, the four high one goes on one far left side and the two L shapes fit in in the opposite (bottom to top and vice versa) order of where they appear to the right of it. x is filled, o is empty. The line goes right 4, up 1, left 2, up 2, right 2, up 1.

The puzzle in second spoiler might actually be my least favorite thing I've come across in the game took me so long to finally see what they want you to see, I don't know if I missed the hint or what but when I finally saw it I just had to take a break and do something else.

If consistent you mean they use
tetris
making shapes.

That title. Well done, lol.
That's not true at all. I am going through them right now and they definitely have rules. You should go back to the tutorial puzzles and try to fail them, it will teach you the rule set.
Have you gone through their tutorial section yet? It isn't in that area.

Yeah I think I'm done for tonight I'm starting to get angry
I'm just done.
Don't know where to go all, the puzzles around me I don't know how to solve or even where the tutorials for them are. I'm sure its just me being stupid and not thinking but every puzzle I've come across now either has Tetris blocks or coloured balls and I've no clue -_-
I'm just done.

I have a hard time with them too, and then when they add another rule on top of them my brain can't deal with it.

Anyone?
I'm in the Desert and need maybe just a pointer in the right direction, as far as how I should be thinking about the panels there.
so, I figured out the first four, which were the ones that you use the sun's reflection to see the correct path, and now there's a set of three, and a single panel that seem to brighten up when I get closer/look at them more directly, but I just can't seem to wrap my head around how to find the solution. I think it has something to do with placing the cursor, and if you go the wrong way, the screen starts to darken?

Is it the 3x3 one with
the cyan blocks? If so, contrary to what it seems, all the cyans stick together and you're making of the greens be the mistake
Your first instincts were right...keep it up and try and explore other vantage points.

Has anyone reached the green Tetris panel with a single L right in the middle? I took a picture of it and I literally have been staring at this thing my entire lunch break and I don't see how a line can be drawn around it with the cut outs in the panel.
haven't seen it yet which is probably why I'm not fully getting it.

4x4.
No. It is the one with the the green and red symbols. The sort of triangle looking shape cancels out 1 red one but I guess I need all the green one's within range of that triangle?

Did you ever manage to figure this one out? I'm fairly sure I know all of the relevant rules, I just can't get it to work. I'm trying to find a path that separates the two pairs of white stars while also separating the white and black squares on the top right from one another. Been at this one off and on for hours now, hoping someone can at least tell me if there's something I'm not seeing. I also wouldn't be opposed to someone straight up telling me the solution, at this point I've got 118 panels solved without any help so I feel ok about asking.
Yup.
Damn, I feel cool for figuring it out a little, haha. Thanks man
Here's a hint:
It's an environmental thing. pay attention to how things look in the maze.
Let me know when you get to the one after this, as I've been stuck on it too 👀 My hint for you would be
the Y lets you make a mistake with one block, so figure out a way to separate, but still make one single mistake.
Edit: ayyyyy top of the page! What up, y'all? I dreamt of lines and grids all night.

Can I get a picture? I think there are two similar ones and I don't remember which you're talking about.
