Yeah, opening any gossip window, actually, because I'm lazy. You'll have to manually reset if you mess up and aren't the one submitting though.

strong flower
#

Why i have no Rat??

#

Wtf

outer narwhal
#

no rats means you didn't click submit initially

lime gorge
#

For anyone needing Vocal help im in group 1 of the voice chat 🍿

past wren
#

If anyone is NA I can help them physically in the instance ❀️

rugged ether
#

Hey guys, If I get killed on the Enigma machine, I have to reset the whole process and start over again on #1 again? or wee can just the wrong old one?

outer narwhal
past wren
rugged ether
outer narwhal
#

start from the beginning, with Lock 1

rugged ether
past wren
#

No you have to run out and reset instance then go back in and start at 1

outer narwhal
#

restarting the instance is an alternative, you can also just kill all rats inside and click on submit

rugged ether
#

ok ty guys

wet furnace
#

guys i can guarantee i had 10 rats on the 2nd lock, so i went to put 3 statues on platform 6 and it reset.
This is the 3rd time it happens.

No catacomb rats running around, all other statues are not standing on platforms.

Am i missing something? Works fine with the 1st lock

abstract steeple
#

@wet furnace you didn't use BEGIN more than just once at the beginning?

wet furnace
#

no, just use submit after it began

abstract steeple
#

the machine will tell you what number lock you are up to - many have done the BEGIN each time

#

did you kill all cata rats?

#

they can run on plates

wet furnace
#

i didn't i counted, i even counted dead bodies of RATS and it was 10.
pressed submit, got zapped and it reset

#

i did

abstract steeple
#

well i messed up 4 times - just go slow - use weakaura if that's something you have - targeting macro etc

#

double-check the machine says you are on the same lock as you think

#

3rd time it has happened hints that you are doing it wrong

#

did you take the old statues off?

#

happy to stream it with you to help

wet furnace
#

yeah i checked all the statues, they were in a corrdior not on a platform apart from the 3 on P6

#

i will give it couple more tries, not the first time blizz released stuff that doesnt work

abstract steeple
#

i have had no one that had this sort of issue not end up realising they were doing something wrong - been helping hundreds and it's quite bug free

#

except don't drag a staue though a cycle pillar

timber badger
thorn lion
#

what statue am I moving

abstract steeple
#

all statues are the same

#

as far as count matters

thorn lion
#

like i can move the ogre when I come in

abstract steeple
#

yes

thorn lion
#

aight

abstract steeple
#

you will only need max 3 on any round - leave 2 up 2 down

dry comet
#

I can do 1 sometimes now but now I can't complete the second. Few times I can do up to 4

wind oasis
#

how does one open the room where p3 is located? cant find pins here

thorn lion
#

how do I get into the humming crystal room

abstract steeple
#

To reach plate 3 with a statue in tow, drag it to the Humming Crystal gate, target the purple Humming Crystal inside the room, then use the [Relic of Crystal Connections] to port in. The statue will tag along. Exit the room by repeating the process with the green crystal above the gate outside.

dry comet
#

Use the glasses to see crystal. Use crystal connection on it to teleport inside. Use it on one outside door to teleport out

abstract steeple
#

glasses don't matter

#

nothing at this stage needs them

dry comet
#

Statues do go through door if tied to you after teleport

abstract steeple
#

@dry comet if you need help i can help if yo0u want to stream?

dry comet
#

Seems it's always wrong when I get one on lower levels like my 5 6 7 are 7 6 5 maybe

abstract steeple
#

there should be no difference - you might be missing something

#

that is the same plate numbering for all the versions i have seen

dry comet
#

Same chart I have

abstract steeple
#

once you know the process you should be able to one-shot it - i don't know what you are missing

#

you've had enough practice now πŸ™‚

#

double-check you are on the right lock number by reading what the machine says - 7 is lock 1 etc

#

Pull the BEGIN lever, then the SUBMIT lever
Count and kill all regular Rats dungeon-wide
Kill (but don't count) all Catacomb Rats dungeon-wide
Move statues to the correct plate (remove statues from previous plates)
Pull the SUBMIT lever (Do NOT pull the begin lever again)
Repeat from Count and kill

thorn lion
#

after getting one of the locks do I have to move a statue off the plate

abstract steeple
#

only use Submit once at the end of each lock - check machine number before Submit

#

yes

thorn lion
#

ugh

abstract steeple
#

@thorn liondon't worry yet - just do rats

#

move statues at end - off and on new

thorn lion
#

i did 2, counted right and put 2 on p1

#

didnt move one off the first lock

#

cringe

abstract steeple
#

πŸ˜›

thorn lion
#

start over again!

abstract steeple
#

read the list i posted ^^^

sudden forge
#

Question: when I use "Relic of Crystal Connections" it keeps porting me back outside. Why?

abstract steeple
#

you have the green crystal targetted

sudden forge
#

Yes

abstract steeple
#

select thepurple one in room

sudden forge
#

And it keeps porting me back outside

abstract steeple
#

To reach plate 3 with a statue in tow, drag it to the Humming Crystal gate, target the purple Humming Crystal inside the room, then use the [Relic of Crystal Connections] to port in. The statue will tag along. Exit the room by repeating the process with the green crystal above the gate outside.

#

purple is on floor to the right side in room

sudden forge
#

Thank you:)

#

lol

abstract steeple
#

yw

#

note info about having the statue already thethered before porting

sudden forge
#

And also, I had no rats on my first phase!!! lol

abstract steeple
#

um - that's not how it works

sudden forge
#

I started it and went through and no rats:(

abstract steeple
#

you either missed one or didn't SUBMIT first to spawn them

sudden forge
#

Except the catacomb rats

abstract steeple
#

Pull the BEGIN lever, then the SUBMIT lever
Count and kill all regular Rats dungeon-wide
Kill (but don't count) all Catacomb Rats dungeon-wide
Move statues to the correct plate (remove statues from previous plates)
Pull the SUBMIT lever (Do NOT pull the begin lever again)
Repeat from Count and kill (edited)

sudden forge
#

That so weird man

#

I'm literally running around and didn't see any and using macro

abstract steeple
#

then you didn't spawn them - did you have both begin and submit on the machine?

#

there are no rounds with zero rats

thorn lion
#

i dont have to hit begin again after I do lock 1 right?

abstract steeple
#

no - in fact do not

#

submit both unlocks and spawns next lock's rats

thorn lion
#

prob shoudlve kept ogre on the first

#

unlucky

abstract steeple
#

keep 2 down - there are no locks that need more than 3

#

also - make sure to remove last locks statues

#

take it slow and double-check

quiet apex
#

did you solve that?

open dirge
#

I'm sure it's listed somewhere in here, but how do I get our of the arcane room now that I got in it?

cobalt sedge
sudden forge
#

If you fail do you have to run back out and back in?

#

Or just restart with machine

dry lodge
#

Are you supposed to kill the rats after counting or leave them alive?

lofty blade
#

Usually, although I did die once jumping off...

#

I could not get the Macro to work...any suggestions on why?

lofty blade
cloud kettle
lofty blade
#

Thank you. I must have copies something wrong. I used the one in the pinned message and it is working as intended.

#

Does the Macro work for the entire instance or do you still have to run around?

wet sable
#

Hi. Are the Catacombs Rats supposed to be killed before the other Rats can spawn?

lofty blade
cloud kettle
fallen flame
#

How was this puzzle solved? Specifically the table with every combination of statues and rats. Is there some hint towards this?

fallen flame
#

Wow, i respect that o7

marsh herald
#

But if you see one of the old pinned messages on 9oclock channel, Josh is asking to look for actual leads to that chart

lofty blade
#

Unbelievable. Lock 4 checked and rechecked everything....died.

# marsh herald They brute forced it!

to be honest, when I made mine, I didn't brute force it. I had the idea that rats and platform/statues were tied together somehow [though I was experimenting with the platforms being multiples of 2 and binary being used, which was not the case]. I then noticed a pattern in the initial data other people gathered (for locks 1, 2, and 3) - one rat was always the # of the mechanism, then it incremented by the number of of the mechanism (so 1, 2, 3 for lock #1, then 2, 4, 6 for lock #2). I don't know how the numbering of platforms was done, it seemed to be just north to south but apparently there's a hint somewhere for it. Given that experimenting with the first lock revealed that after 1 statue on 7 it went to 2 statues on 1, I assumed that the "counting up" looped after 7 to be one more statue but back on the first plate. I made a list of that up to 70 (for 10 rats times 7 locks) but this broke down for a lot of people for 4 statues on anything and 3 statues on 7. Someone else discovered that the "counting up" itself seem to reset after 3 statues on 6 (which corresponds to 20, also the number on the machine for how many years its broken) and from that I just replaced everything above 20 with a copy of what was figured out for 1-20.

this one was soo anoying, especialy as it resseted twice on dc...

#

what we do after finishing? is there a chest to loot?

open dirge
#

can any of the pads go twice or did i mess up counting?

lofty blade

😒 😒 😒 Disconnectled and all wiped out...why doesn't it save progress...that is not ok. Mistakes, yes, disconnects? No.

Hi, any new information about the zapping bug when submitting plate 3?

subtle goblet
lofty blade
#

I don't know what "slow" means. "Can't remove him"????

#

Who?

subtle goblet
#

my normal speed now is 66% Movementspeed but have no debuff or anything

#

Flyingmount Speed is 290%...

no chance to play the game with that bug

lofty blade
#

To tell the truth, the only time I have looked at my movement speed is when I see I have trailblazer up or looking at my mount speed. Have never noticed a movment speed change like it seems you are decribing.

vocal crow
#

does it matter which statue i put in on the plattform?

slim tulip
vocal crow
#

hmm okay i'm confused... i killed 7 rats and on the list it told me to put two statue on plattform two but i get shocked

#

ah fuck i forgot one..

marsh herald
cursive rose
radiant bramble
#

i dont fkn get it. i checkt twice. i checked the rats, i checked the table, i checked the color of the objects. EVERYTHING, an i still getting zapped...... its so fkn annoying

#

i use a damn weakaura + wowhead post....

#

ALWAYS at the third plate

sudden forge
#

If anyone needs help with this I send the statue counter to keep track of my rats and my phase that I was one. I used 1-10 for rats and the bottoms numbers for what phase I was on so you don't forget. Pro tip right here and hope this helps. Thank you all for the support

#

And make sure you keep spamming your macro. Look at your map the rats will show up

radiant bramble
#

even rats stopped spawning..

sudden forge
#

^^

dull fog
#

I just said in chat, like whenever I finished let's say the first, I said 2 next and after every kill I just incremented a number starting from 1, so when I had no more rats, I saw in my chat for example like
Next 5
1
2
3
4
So I knew I had to find row 4 in column 5 in the table

radiant bramble
#

i dont see any numbers in chat

dull fog
#

I write the numbers

radiant bramble
#

one moment please. You need to explain that to me in more detail, please. You killed a rat and then typed a 1. The second rat and then a 2?

dull fog
#

Yes exactly

radiant bramble
#

i use a weakaura for counting

dull fog
#

That's ok too, this way you don't need any addons or WAs

radiant bramble
dull fog
radiant bramble
#

If I then follow that and make sure no rat is left, I still get zapped.

dull fog
#

Did you do the previous steps? All of them

radiant bramble
#

dungeonreset?

dull fog
#

I did that before starting

ionic stratus
#

Having the same issue and think its bugged

#

every time at plate 3 get zapped, trying following WA and the table for rat count

radiant bramble
#

yes, i resetted. then i clicked start and then submit

#

like in the wowhead article

#

i watched it yesterday

dull fog
#

Are you going all around the catacombs? Right to the start too?

radiant bramble
#

yes. with a macro

#

and nameplates enabled

radiant bramble
#

this one

ionic stratus
#

It's 100% bugged.

#

4 times in a row, on plate 3, same issue

#

Doing same as Lexberger, following table, spamming macro to find rats, etc.

dull fog
#

Did you kill the catacomb rats as well?

radiant bramble
#

no?

dull fog
#

Kill them, but don't count them

gaunt zephyr
#

kill all rats but count only RATS

ionic stratus
#

Yeah I'm killing all the rats but only counting "rats"

dull fog
#

Sometimes they can wander on to the plates

radiant bramble
#

killing every catacomb rats on every step?

ionic stratus
#

I mean, the fact that I'm clearly doing it right up to lock 3, and each time it fails on lock3 kinda tells you its not a user error

dull fog
#

They won't respawn that fast

gaunt zephyr
#

do not forget statues on platform if u finish round

dull fog
#

That too

ionic stratus
#

Yeah clearing them off too

radiant bramble
#

The statues need to be off the platforms before I start the next round, right?

dull fog
#

A bit later if you want you can do a screen share here on Discord and I (and anyone else who wants to) can watch and maybe we can find something?

radiant bramble
#

alright. i did this

#

now, i killed 10 rats. means 2 statues on p3 right?

#

they light up green

#

ZAAAAPPPP

dull fog
#

What step?

radiant bramble
#

first

dull fog
#

Ok, try reseting again, see if you will have some luck then

radiant bramble
#

i killed cataomb rats too

gaunt zephyr
#

Right. 2 statues on p3

dull fog
#

But didn't count them, right?

radiant bramble
#

10 normal rats

dull fog
#

Do you have hours 1-7 completed?

cloud kettle
radiant bramble
#

hours?

dull fog
#

o'clocks

gaunt zephyr
radiant bramble
#

of course. u need two items for the enigma machine

narrow pike
#

Omg this is shiiiiiiit

radiant bramble
dull fog
#

I also have 10 o'clock's two small orbs, but I don't think that matters

radiant bramble
#

Okay, dumb question. After I submit once and remove the statue from the plate, do I have to click 'Begin' on the enigma machine again, or can I continue killing rats?

cloud kettle
dull fog
radiant bramble
#

maybe. i am at step 2 now

#

no...

#

zapped at step 2. not a single rat alive

#

checked the whole dungeon twice

#

now i hate it more than that stupid petbattle and the sentry riddle

#

it makes absolutly NO sense

dull fog
#

I can't now, but a bit later I'd be happy to take a look if you are still stuck

radiant bramble
#

BUT rats continue spawning

#

i didnt reset yet

dull fog
#

For me they spawned after I completed step 7 as well

radiant bramble
#

but what do i do now?

dull fog
#

Try reset instance, relog, things of that nature

radiant bramble
#

i mean normal rats. not the catacomb rats

dull fog
subtle goblet
radiant bramble
#

It's definitely bugged

dull fog
#

That's what a lot of people thought on the pet battle step as well, including me, but there always is something that we're missing in these cases.

#

Maybe try taking a break, watch some videos or something and get back to it with a fresh mind πŸ˜„

radiant bramble
#

i quitted yesterday after more than four hours...

#

Can more than 10 rats appear?

cloud kettle
#

There should not be more than 10

radiant bramble
#

Then it's definitely bugged. In the first phase, with 2 statues on plate 3, still getting zapped must be a bug.

cloud kettle
#

Its not tho. Your just missing something

radiant bramble
#

i mean, what should i do^^

#

What makes you so sure?

cloud kettle
#

Like if there are more than 10 you missed some on the previous stage

cloud kettle
radiant bramble
#

in the table, first collumn: 10 rats = 2 on p3

#

and still being zapped. thats a bug. Just because you managed to do it, it doesn't mean it's a universal statement that can be applied to everyone else.

#

Besides, I'm not alone in this.

#

does the ground change?? The pile wasn't there before

wet sable
radiant bramble
#

i removed them

#

that was my fault^^

wet sable
#

and also make sure the amount of statues corresponds to the correct color they should be. i was having that issue as well where i thought it was "yellow" etc because I was standing on it, but when I got off it went green

radiant bramble
#

yes i know. i double checked the correct color

how do I get in that room with the crystal, the item keeps sending me in front of the room instead of in the room or am I just a dum dum

fossil dagger
#

Anyone have problem with the enigma machine taking the items to start it and not working and items disappearing ?

radiant bramble
#

maybe wrong crystal in target?

#

i often hit the hitbox of the statue, even though it wasn't even in the picture anymore.

cobalt sedge
valid vapor
#

Today first try xmaspeepo But its nice, that the catacomb rats do not respawn anymore (or very long respawn time?)

soft ice
#

Alrighty. Got home. Time for another attempt at this BS

radiant bramble
#

first try? suuuure. is this first try in this room with us?^^

soft ice
#

No

#

It's like 5th or 6th attempt

radiant bramble
#

@valid vapor

soft ice
#

I gave up the day before and yesterday I gave up and went back to sleep

#

Ah

#

Lucky bastard

valid vapor
soft ice
#

Yesterday, I got lock blocked on lock 4

valid vapor
#

same

#

3 or 4

soft ice
#

Then I tried again, and couldn't get past lock 6, so I said fuck it, I'm going to sleep

radiant bramble
#

i never saw lock 4 until i was a man

soft ice
#

huh?

radiant bramble
#

i was born in lock 3, moldet by it

soft ice
#

....

radiant bramble
#

i am still getting zapped on lock 3

soft ice
#

Hopefully the weak aura will help

#

Sorry for the reply, but you are an absolutely awesome person
(even if it doesn't end up working for me)

radiant bramble
#

i use a weakaura. i doublechecked it with the table. boom zapped

valid vapor
#

i did the WA, the macro (only needed one after i cleared all catacomb rats) and then just the image of the platform positions

soft ice
#

I was just doing it manually (which might be why I was fucking up. I suck at counting)

soft ice
#

I keep thinking stuff like, ah, I killed number 2, which means next is number 3. number 3. number 3. then I kill the next rat and go and that's number 4

#

downloaded killtracker addon yesterday, but the weakaura seems better, so I'll do that instead

radiant bramble
#

so u skipped counting one rat?

soft ice
#

no

#

I mean I have tendency to unconsciously do that

valid vapor
#

maybe just drawing a line on a piece of paper per kill is the best πŸ˜„

soft ice
#

maybe

#

but lazy

#

(to look for paper and pen, not to make lines)

lofty blade
#

I did it!!! finally. Followed the pinned instructions. Used the macro, Used KillTrack and was meticulous. Thanks for all those who contributed.

pale stone
#

how to open doors to cat room ?? i found rat inside and its still lockk and instead of unlock it open game

soft ice
#

or normal rat

pale stone
#

no classic one

#

i use macro for it

soft ice
#

I guess you have 2 options

pale stone
#

/target Rat
/script SetRaidTarget("target",8)

soft ice
#

depending on where in the unlocking you are

pale stone
#

where in unlocking ? i play this mini game only in toy wich i get somehow before

soft ice
#

if you are at the star, you could reset the instance

#

start

#

I mean the enigma machine?

pale stone
#

i ask how to unlock doors to that room with this minigame to kiill that rat

#

about reseting i think too but there it need to be way or not ?

soft ice
#

Oh wait

#

To this room?

#

or the cat room

#

cat room is a different room

pale stone
#

this room idk if its cat room

soft ice
#

cat room can't be gotten into legitimately, as of now

#

as for this room, there's a purple humming crystal on the right

#

so just click it and use the artifact

pale stone
#

well how i will end mini game on my screen

soft ice
#

to get out of the room, use the green humming crystal on the outside, on top of the door frame

#

right click the buff

pale stone
#

well it have same icon like my arcane mage spell :DDD its why i dont notice its buff

soft ice
#

you confused me with the "cat room" stuff

#

cat room is the room the cats are in, obviously

pale stone
#

ok hummin crystal on door

soft ice
#

that one for when you're getting out, though

pale stone
soft ice
#

the one for getting in is inside the room

#

on the right, purple

#

you click it through the door

#

or you could use a command/macro, I guess

pale stone
#

whaaaat

#

i cannot click trough doors

soft ice
#

yes you can

#

just angle the camera

pale stone
#

on the right in room is humming crystal levitating on ground

#

but its not interacting

soft ice
#

purple

soft ice
# pale stone

In this image, it's out of frame. That purple glow on the right behind the doorframe

pale stone
soft ice
#

yep

#

that's the one

pale stone
#

its not interact"able"

#

its just object

soft ice
#

hm. just out of curiosity

#

what "artifact" are you trying to interact with?

pale stone
#

...i dont understand u

#

i just want to open doors πŸ˜„

#

what are u talkin about ? artifact ?

quick goblet
#

Mouseovers also work. Just make a mouse over macro if you don't have them on by default

soft ice
#

you use the item you got from the skeleton inside the statue in booty bay

#

to teleport to crystals

pale stone
#

aaaaaaaaaah

quick goblet
#

Make a focus target for the one above the door. Easier to target it that way

pale stone
#

now i have it

soft ice
#

That's why the steps/o'clocks have to be done sequentially and can't be skipped

pale stone
#

i dont know i need use that item xDDDD

soft ice
#

you unlock things needed to do successive steps

pale stone
#

now im inside xD

soft ice
#

fyi, you'll need to bring statues inside as well, during this step

#

(unless by some luck you don't)

#

there's a pressure plate there

pale stone
#

hmm ye

soft ice
#

when the statues turn pink, they can go through the bars

pale stone
#

it will work same ?

soft ice
#

you just have them on rope, and teleport in, they'll slide through the bars after you

pale stone
#

with statue roped on me ? with that item teleport inside ?

soft ice
#

doesn't matter what statue

#

you teleport, statue doesn't. but it phases through the door, as it tries to follow you

pale stone
#

btw now i need to find way how to teleport out bcs doors locked πŸ˜„

soft ice
#

told you

#

the green one above the door

#

just go near the bars, angle up and click it

#

and use the item again

pale stone
#

lol

#

why they just dont open us doors xD

serene pivot
#

Or you can face outward against the door, /tar hum and you should get it

soft ice
#

to make things more complicated

pale stone
#

this is so weird to angle camera Β¨.D

serene pivot
#

I've just made a macro now to /tar hum and then use the Relic. As long as I'm near the right one it works just fine

#

You can also reach that room from the rubble behind the 2nd watcher statue

pale stone
#

well i saw viideo where guy say he will be insta killed if he will do it wrong..i put my prismatic barrier on and did wrong step and it deal 0 dmg from enigma machine....i was "shocked" but without dmg

soft ice
#

It's chance based, I think

#

Usually, the zaps do nothing

#

but one time, it insta killed me

#

What the actual.... I got zapped with correct answer

#

Oh.....that looks bugged. I guess that's the reason.

keen marsh
#

Anyone have this bug/issue: In the room where pedestal 7 lies, when putting a statue there, and you wedge yourself into the small bookcase, the game crashes. You log back in, you're outside the catacombs, and you still have a "statue slow walk" debuff (but without any icon/indication". You must then go in and drag any statue, release the statue, to walk/run normally. Then you must Begin the traps over, but no matter how many times you do so, and get the mechanism reset message, no new normal rats ever spawn.

#

Hence, I'm about to exit the game completely/log back in to hope that helps.

you dont need abilities tho

soft ice
#

I don't, but it got rid of some other convenient stuff I had on my action bars as well

#

Yeah, that's why I made a copy of my talent loadout, removed inner demons from it (and some other talents that don't work without it) and replaced it with some other talents

but fucking imps, huh

#

Guys, after 9 Hours i did it!!!! special thanks to Derpydergon!!!!

cloud kettle
soft ice
#

Yeah, I know

#

I rushed from one side of the cave-in to the other, and it was pretty funny how the statue was slowly pathfinding to me, instead of trying to go through the wall

radiant bramble
#

I also noticed that the color didn't always match, even though the statues were correctly placed on the switch. Please pay very close attention to this.

#

with correctly i mean "absolutely perfectly ON the switch"

soft ice
#

does the colour matter?

cloud kettle
#

They help with stacks

radiant bramble
#

color is very important

#

The color is very important. It indicates how many statues are on the switch.

soft ice
cloud kettle
#

What bout color blind ppl?

radiant bramble
#

yellow means 3 statues

#

it tricked me out with green^^

soft ice
#

Josh said the colours aren't the only indicator, as it wouldn't be accessible or something like that

radiant bramble
#

I can tell you that the color green was displayed even though three statues were on the switch. I moved one statue only a few pixels, and the color yellow appeared.

#

weird

fair prism
#

I haven't been able to get the macro to work. Can anyone help

#

I tried this last night and all I could find were catacombs rats

fiery oyster
#

I use the macro to target the rats. Kill each one. Double check for any more. Go by the chart and it still fails. Saw where the catacomb rats trigger the pads too. Could this be why it fails on me? Thanks and sorry if it's been asked before.

If we’ve done it, can we enter someone else’s instance and help them?

fair prism
#

I had 10 rats. I put 2 statues on number 3.. which is the one in the room with the crystals you have to use right? I keep getting electrocuted

narrow venture
#

there are rats that get stuck behnid the edges of door and openings. easy to miss. need to be real thourough.

fair prism
#

10 is the maximum number though

narrow venture
#

which list are you using? there was a link to a blog, and it was wrong

fair prism
narrow venture
#

and youre sure you didnt count a not countable rat?

fair prism
#

I need a better one bc it took me forever to figure out that 1 was in the felcycle room. But I'm also a little brain fried from doing all of this

#

I copied the macro someone posted and it's been working

narrow venture
#

i walked around and melee each 1, 1 at a time just to be sure i got the right count

fair prism
#

That's what I did. I just went out and reset instance to see if maybe that was my mistake when I was reading the map wrong

narrow venture
#

And the aura on the platform was green?

fair prism
#

It was

narrow venture
#

hmm

#

can you reset the instance? or does that reset the whole puzzle back to square 1?

fair prism
#

I just went out and reset the instance. I'm taking 5 before I go back in bc I'm annoyed lol

distant loom
#

Which lock were you on?

fair prism
#

First one. I can't get past it and I've been trying since last night. I watched yt videos and everything

distant loom
#

Take a break

#

Like totally walk away from your computer

fair prism
#

I am. I'm outside, literally πŸ˜‚

narrow venture
#

now you gotta recount the mice. count will be different

fair prism
#

Yeah i got a pen and paper out to keep track that way. Thinking it might help to see it written down

#

This is the only orb I've had any trouble with so it was bound to happen

narrow venture
#

i had to start over like 4 times on the 2nd orb because the list i was using was wrong.

#

and there are a few of the dungeon rats that will walk over platforms as well if you dont kill them all. and they can respawn before you finish moving statues

fair prism
#

After each time you count rats and kill them and do the statue you hit submit right?

narrow venture
#

yeah

#

but never hit the other option

fair prism
#

Okay

#

There are a ton of people outside the catacombs saying it is broken πŸ˜•

primal mantle
#

i did it first try by being methodical and taking my time

narrow venture
#

i always started my rat count in the motorcycle room and worked my way through. the rats can be in the rooms with door as well

primal mantle
# fair prism

i wouldnt use that chart many people have said its wrong use the pinned one

steep zinc
#

There is a weak aura that works really well πŸ™‚

#

it tells u how many rats u killed and how many statues you need and where you need to put them

fair prism
#

Okay so I got to round 4

#

And messed up πŸ˜‚ read the wrong damn chart

#

So to be clear when it just has a number instead of 1 on 3 etc do you just put 1 statue or no statue?

are you killing all rats including catacombs?

dry comet

No corruption dk

#

Yea seems that catacombs rats no longer respawn. Today at least

thick void
#

you are making sure to remove statues from previous plate? its very to overlook

dry comet
#

Yes I use same statues on the platform so I go back and move them all off and move required ones on to next

thick void
#

and lastly are you using the macro/WA combo?

dry comet
#

Yes I'm counting the rats targeted by the macro because I only kill ones that are targeted. It only targets living rats

thick void
#

try the WA friend

#

it not only counts rats but tells you how many statues on which plate

#

works perfectly i used it last night

#

just need a chart of which plate is which

How do I install it then?

you have the add on weak aura?

summer cobalt
#

i was following the chart someone posted here earlier but i cant get past the second lock, does it reset after it zaps you?

#

i've tested and it seems to reset

#

but sometimes it doesn't work

abstract steeple
#

@summer cobalt zap is a fail and usually resets the machine

#

the machine will tell you what number lock you are up to - the text counts down - 7 is lock 1

#

if you are sure you killed all rats when you hot SUBMIT and failed - you can use the current new rats on that number lock

abstract steeple
#

it is - but people often think they have made progress and using the wrong lock number

summer cobalt
#

i mean, it doesnt go in a orderly fashion? Like, first you do lock 1, then lock 2

abstract steeple
#

if you get the unlock emote it will then be the next lock - but best to check by reading the machine

summer cobalt
#

Oh

#

"there appears to be 7 locked mechanisms" you mean

#

i hadn't noticed that

#

tyvm!

abstract steeple
#

that's the one - you are on lock 1

to make sure you get ALL the rats use the target macro in the pins - you can use the combat log to double check your count

why are there colors for more then 3 statues on a pressure plate if they don't solve the puzzle?

last vessel
#

Might've been to lead people into thinking because you could put up to 5 on a plate that you might need to do it, but ended up you only need 3 at max

polar ice
#

ya. but if anyone was trying to brute force it. they would still solve before they did half the combos. so why put it in. and i still don't see how they figured it out without brute force like what clues would have told us to use what colors.

#

like i am great at fallowing the steps to solve but i would like that other info to see if it helps with the next part is all

#

no matter the case i am thrilled with the people who have gotten us this far

last vessel
#

So from there it was just the amount of objects on the plates most likely, and after it was bruteforced the solution was also actually found out legimitely
#felcycle-solved-read-only message

polar ice
#

ya but you jsut go with the info 4 statues or more and the colors don't matter. why whould you add 2 extra combos jsut to be a false thread

last vessel
#

Just because you could. Since 5 statues are present, generally you'd try all the limits to see what happens when you put a certain amount of objects on 1 plate. Whether that be 1 or all 5 (or more using toys/pets)

polar ice
#

i guess what i am really getting at is have people kept trying patterns after the 8 o"clock orb showed up to make sure it's not something along that

If the pressure plates were somehow still supposed to be used after you're done the 8th orb then the Enigma Machine would then have a option to start it up again, since it goes away after the orb is lit then that means the plates are not used anymore in the remaining orbs. i.e. Going out to reset the dungeon and coming back in after completing the 8th orb, you cannot do anything with the machine or plates anymore

polar ice
#

it just means there is no number to be punched in not that the plates have no use anymore other wise why not turn them off like the enigma machine

#

why i was asking if that has been tried.

Hello, can you move a statue off a plate after its been used and submitted?

#

or must you leave all the statues there?

abstract steeple
abstract steeple
#

common failures are after Lock 1 are not removing statues or hitting BEGIN again after you have started

#

also note that the machine tells you which Lock you are up to in the top text: 7 to go means Lock 1 etc

gentle linden
#

i have 6 rats on lock 4 - what does "4" mean.. haha

#

like 1 statue on 4?

#

whaty is just "4"

abstract steeple
worn kernel
#

Not sure if I am just being a dingus or what... but there aren't enough statues?

#

Do you need to do all 7 locks at once? or do you do one at a time and click the buttons on the machine

abstract steeple
#

the table shows how many on which plate - have you read the process?

worn kernel
#

Process is really not clear unfortunately. It just says "Put them on the plates, these plates" but you would need like 11 statues to do that. Unless you have to do one, submit, do another submit, which isn't clear

worn kernel
#

As the rest don't say remove statues XD

abstract steeple
#

seems yo worked it out - yes remove statues

worn kernel
#

Will try again now with your link, thank you

abstract steeple
#

and the reason to kill the cata rats is prevent them running on another plate - good luck!

#

one lock per round - 7 times to win!

worn kernel
#

Yeah, it really isn't clear on the wowhead guide, so thank you so much for the link!

#

no problem - i hang out here to answer these kind of questions - take it slow and you'll win - ask me if you get stuck

I'm about to ragequit XD I am triple checking with the macro all around before submitting. I'm killing all the catacomb rats as well so they dont activate. Am I doing something else wrong?

velvet salmon
#

im in the same boat bud cant get a sinle lock

tepid gust
#

i keep getting to 5 or 6 and then buzzed. fkg rats.

abstract steeple
#

are you using the macro or weakaura?

#

you can double-check the Lock you are on by reading the machine : 7 to go means lock 1 etc

#

you can double-check number of rat kills by reading your combat log

#

the target macro can find some rats that like to hide

velvet salmon
#

im currently getting a bug on p3 where i have nothing on it but its showing a blue light is that normal?

tepid gust
abstract steeple
#

@velvet salmon oh - that would be something despawned on a pad - like a toy or pet

velvet salmon
#

ahh ok thought so out reset ang go agaion then

abstract steeple
#

the weakaura counts for you and gives solution

tepid gust
#

where can i find the weakaura?

abstract steeple
#

yes prob best to reset with a stuck pad @velvet salmon - are you a demo lock btw?

velvet salmon
#

nah hunter but i had ice murloc companion out that i dismissed so thats what caused it

#

and its been solved lovely

#

now on to the madness that is 9

dont do this shit as demo lock ur pets break the pads and they get stuck

Okay... I'm back after a couple days. Anyone find an easy way to do this? I kept getting shocked when I tried lol

marsh herald

#

Do you need to press the begin lever each time?

marsh herald
dapper veldt
#

Okay I did the first one and it says mechanism unlocked... but my weak aura's says 0 locks are opened

#

and... how do I reset the rat count?

marsh herald
dapper veldt
#

Yeah

#

It just added to the 6 I did the first time :/

marsh herald
#

I'm not sure what you mean by reset the rat count, but if you mean resetting it to the first lock, just hit Begin to fresh start

dapper veldt
#

No the weakauras

#

It's not updating the lock count or the rats killed

marsh herald
#

The wa should automatically reset after unlocking each lock

dapper veldt
#

I reset because it's just piling and adding on and now it's not cleared out T_T

manic bane
marsh herald
dapper veldt
#

Yes... I'm about to say f this and no ground mount is worth it... but I'm already on step 8 and so far into it

manic bane
#

But 2. The rat kill count only counts the rats that count (the ones named rat), and the lock count will update when you actually go to the machine to submit

manic bane
dapper veldt
#

Again... I did. I went to the machine and pressed submit the first time. Nothing updated, it still said I had 0 locks done when the game said it heard a mechanism unlock

manic bane
#

That's pretty funky - just opening the enigma machine window should be enough to trigger it - you using any addons that change UI up?

dapper veldt
#

Not that I'm aware of?

manic bane
#

You use any auto-gossip WAs or anything?

dapper veldt
#

Nope

#

annndddd I get shocked even though I did it right -_-

manic bane
#

🀷 you can always fall back to a pen and paper to count (or your combat log) and the table to lookup the combination

#

The combat log is actually pretty simple - just count the Rat hits since the last Zap πŸ˜›

dapper veldt
#

Are we sure we can't just have someone log onto my account and do this for me...? T_T

#

cause weakaura's still isn't updating with my progress... and I'm now getting frustrated

#

lol

The chart for #3 with 8 rats jsut says "4".. what does that mean?

jaunty sable
#

Someone said they used a stack of 10 dimes as counters for rats killed. So when I admitted I needed more than just mental tracking; I had the week aura (I think this was only a few hours after @manic bane had released his), a stack of coins, a targeting macro, two charts and a map printed. I took me two more times and when I was about to mess up in attempt one I knew something was off. That is my rambling way of some redundancy helps in this puzzle.

i used this and worked just fine

and this KEKW

zenith cloud
#

what does it mean 2 on 1??? Two statues on 1 platform?(

serene patrol
#

you start with lock 7, so pay attention to that column. count the rats, if you count, for example, 8, you need to place 2 statues on P1

If you mess up one do you have to start all over or just that mechanism and continue on

serene oyster
#

if after count rats and the chart just says 7 does that mean we have to put all statues on the number 7th pad

heady tapir
#

Does it matter which statue goes where? are they numbered too?

serene depot
#

If I dc on rats, should I continue, or click on begin, or reset instance?

abstract steeple
#

@serene depot if you DC probably the instance already reset

#

you need BEGIN if the pads aren't active - then check machine which tells you how many locks you have to go - SUBMIT if you need rats to spawn

#

this damn riddle... if i fail at e.g. step 4 i have to start again at one right? or is a reset required?

abstract steeple
#

the machine tells you how many locks to go, 7 means you are at lock 1

#

"If you get Zapped, you counted wrong or a rat is left alive. Start again from step 2 with Lock 1 [7/7]. You might get it wrong again even with a right count on the next step if you left a Rat alive to be counted twice. "

normal nebula
#

Lock 3 is definetly bugged

burnt ravine
#

..do the rats reset every lock?

#

Because I'm following the chart on WoWhead after counting them, and even when I'm doing it correctly (this is around the fifth time it's reset for me), I cannot get to lock 2.

abstract steeple
#

@normal nebula a common fault is that players use BEGIN again or don't remove the statues from the first pad

burnt ravine
#

I did that my first mistake. But after that, I've repeatedly done 'submit' and ensure that I've removed the prior statues off of the platforms.

abstract steeple
#

so what is your question about rats? a new number gets spawned each SUBMIT

burnt ravine
#

That was my question.

#

I assumed, that the number of rats remains the same every time before reset like.

abstract steeple
#

nope - random each time

burnt ravine
#

If you had 7 rats, you submit, and then you continue with that chart.

#

Ah.

abstract steeple
#

Pull the BEGIN lever, then the SUBMIT lever
Count and kill all regular Rats dungeon-wide
Kill (but don't count) all Catacomb Rats dungeon-wide
Move statues to the correct plate (remove statues from previous plates)
Pull the SUBMIT lever (Do NOT pull the begin lever again)
Return to step 2

burnt ravine
#

Do I also need to kill all of the catacombs rats, but not count them?

abstract steeple
#

they can run over pads and mess it up - best to kill

burnt ravine
#

That's probably it.

#

Even after doing that and clearing all the rats, and counting the rats (not catacombs), still incorrect.

abstract steeple
#

are you using the target macro? rats can spawn in the crystal room and in a corner

burnt ravine
#

Yes.

abstract steeple
#

have you done one lock correctly yet?

burnt ravine
#

Yes.

#

But not since it reset.

#

Is it now on lock 2, it's not all done at once?

abstract steeple
#

that's one correct - the machine also tells you hopw many to go up the top text

burnt ravine
abstract steeple
#

so you are on lock 2 - count and kill rats - use column 2 for the solve

#

scrap that - you are on lock 1

#

so count rats and solve for Lck 1

burnt ravine
#

So. I've killed 2 rats, there was only 2 rats this time. Searched the entire map, I put 1 on platform 2, this one, right?

abstract steeple
#

yep

burnt ravine
#

And now we're on lock 6, so follow the Lock#2 column?

#

But recount the rats

abstract steeple
#

you are now on Lock 2 - what is this 6 stuff?

#

reset sends you back to start

burnt ravine
#

No, I'm saying.

#

I just finished one lock. It says 6 are remaining.

#

So we're on lock 2.

abstract steeple
#

ah - right

#

6 to go

burnt ravine
#

I was asking to clarify to make sure I'm doing it correctly.

coral marten
#

Search weakaura on chat here.is the best

burnt ravine
#

Huh?

abstract steeple
#

there is a weakaura that counts and helps solve - i didn't use it

burnt ravine
#

I'm already using it

coral marten
#

Yes

abstract steeple
#

@burnt ravine update? how's it going?

burnt ravine
#

I got it done! it took a little bit but once I figured out I had to recheck rats every lock, I got it πŸ˜„
