i dont think it matters which statue just what platform to put the statue on.

#

i thought it didnt matter which statues go where but i think they do matter

#

i cant get past round 1

#

i got to round 3 once but died

mint cipher
#

they dont matter, you are messing something up. make sure you are killing all the rats before submitting, make sure you are counting them correctly. If you are failing round 1 the zap damage you get if you divide it by 1123 you will get the rat number so you can check if you counted wrong

#

remember you are only counting rats, not catacomb rats

heady tapir
#

I did it finally thanks for the help.

#

I have gotten to the last step twice and each time I am killed. So much time invested . What am I doing wrong?

heady tapir
#

i took off all my gear and used auto attack with my fist

#

I just solved this puzzle. It is highly recommended to kill the catacomb rats as well, as they can step on or walk over the pressure plates and trigger them at the exact moment you submit one of your results, thus thwarting your attempt.

thin furnace
#

just used a weak aura for rat count and a macro targettingf rats

somber swallow
#

What does it mean if you hit a certain numer of rats....but the table only says the pad number and not how many statues you have to put in it?

thin furnace
#

no it sayys both

how do i solve the candy crush puzzle?

#

A tip for the classes with pets. You can use those for activating the pressure plates in the same way the statues work. Makes some of the running a bit easier.

raven matrix
#

yeah, but only if your pets don't despawn on plates. that will cause them to bug out

honest sail
#

some help , im on stage 5

#

5 rats

#

means 5 on 5?

jaunty sable
#

1 on 5

neat ether
#

Found out why I had problems on lock 4 (3 rats) - so on another plate a rat had died - despawned... but was still lit up, so watch that one.

#

Also I waited 15 minutes between locks - and the Catacomb Rats had not yet respawned... not sure about that because I thought the general time frame for critters was 5-15 minutes.

#

Is anyone else struggling with this like i am?

abstract steeple
#

so wait till they off the plate to kill - don't dismiss pets when they are on plates (including don't spec demo lock for this)

#

@last juniper what's happening?

last juniper
#

im on my first round had a total of 2 rats, yes regular rats not catacomb rats place a statue on P2 and hit submit and get shocked. I had gotten to round 4 one time my first time but now cant make it past round 1.

abstract steeple
#

using the macro to target all the rats?

last juniper
#

yes, even go through the dungeon 2 times to double check.

abstract steeple
#

you are removing the old staues from pads? you aren't using BEGIN after the once at start?

last juniper
#

Nope only submit and yes also removing statues.

abstract steeple
#

you are sure you are on the right Lock number - machine tells you how many to go - 7 means Lock 1

last juniper
#

Do statues matter?

#

or can any statue be used on any pedastal as long as the quantity is correct?

abstract steeple
#

all are the same - onoy count on single pad matters

neat ether
#

64 tries - finally got it. Be careful of rats dying on the pressure plates.

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

@last juniper this is the process you are following?

#

i mean, you got to later locks so i have no clue what's broken now

#

@last juniper if you still can't solve lock 1 then i suggest that you go out and reset instance and start fresh

neat ether
#

I had one plate that was glitching - reset half a dozen times... also I am a destro lock - made sure that I used ONLY Conflig. - Used the macros to target both rats and cat.rats - ... just had to be extra careful to NOT have a pet out, and to not kill a rat on ANY pressure plate.

last juniper
#

finally made it to round 3 XD

abstract steeple
#

pets are fine - i did it aff with pet - but demo has imps that regularly despawn - but being careful with this puzzle is a great idea

#

anyone else have an issue with the crystal connections? i cant teleport into the room. it literally teleports me ontop of the door frame...

abstract steeple
#

@torn frigateyou have the wrong crystal targeted - look for the purple on on floor - right side

#

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.

how does this shit works? so if u dont have 4 statues + you and 2 friends youre fucked?

abstract steeple
#

@torn frigate now yoou know the process it will go smoothly after a break - no rush

torn frigate
#

ya.; hopefully i can figure out the rats and statue stuff.

#

tryin to understand it reading the docs and such

abstract steeple
#

i mean they have got nowhere on 9 o'clock

#

what's confusing? the process is pretty clear and simple

torn frigate
#

ive read it. lol. ill give it a try tomorrow.

#

thanks for help with crystal. im at least set up to start tryin.

abstract steeple
#

no worries

#

i failed 4 times - then after a break sailedd through on-shot

last juniper
#

so im on round 6 and i ahve a glowing pressure plate with nothing on it?

abstract steeple
#

you "might" be able to fix it - try running aver it - but you may need an instance reset

last juniper
#

nope, perma on 😭

#

stupid imps XD

#

i was so close

neat ether
#

Don't forget to remove the statues between locks.

gouping is fine but it is best if only one person does the killing rats and uses the machine

I keep hearing about "Rats" and "Catacomb Rats" it's confusing because all I have ever seen are "Rats" 🤔 So should I just whack everything?

I kept reading that the cata rats dont respawn. Until I was on my second to last lock and realized the rat I had just killed said catacombs rat. Luckily, I back tracked to recount and realized before I got too far. I don't know if I was taking an incredibly long time or if I just drew that (un)lucky straw so be warned! It can happen! This was around the hour to 1 hour and 15 minute mark of being in the instance without leaving and being zapped...a few too many times. PepeHands

tidal gorge
#

I was on lock #4 and a pressure plate (specifically #2- the doorway to the mount) was glowing with no statues, no me, no pets (warlock), no rats were killed near it, seemingly nothing to cause a blue glow.... so it failed. Known bug? Am I blind?

#

couldn't get it stop so I just failed to get it to reset

abstract steeple
#

@tidal gorge something must have despawned on it - i see you know about other pets - never heard of them breaking without something there (toys etc) - unless you can fix the pad you need to reset (it'll go quicker this time)

tidal gorge
#

Hmm I'll try to be more careful next time, maybe there was a rat at one point but I don't remember killing one right there... I did go right into it after 8 o'clock and so my brain is fried for the night I think lol

#

lol - i know what you mean - watchers is a bit of a drain - there is no rush - 9 is not going fast

Might give it a few days. New reset, new me and all...😂

I managed to get to 7 then i forgot the status on the other plate.. i failed it at the last part and now i cant get past part 4 =/ anyone has the same issue ? i have tried 5 times and i search and kill every single rat i check all the spots to be clean but still die to the thunder and i have the Correct answer from the table =/

Maybe I kinda dumb but I dont get the instructions .. I start the machine click in submit kill all the rats on the map and then move the statues to the plates. what the heck mean 1 on P1 .. 1 on P2 ???

#

that is the statue and that is the plate?

example, if you kill 10 rats, you get 2 statues at position 3

Hello guys! Anyone can help me, please?
2 Status in position 3 (10 rats), but I'm using Relic of Crystal Connections and nothing happened to the door... I can't get in, I'm teleported out

#

I was also unsure if it could be any statue or did it have to be specific?

tall venture
#

You have to target the crystal and use the relic

#

The purple crystal to go in and the green one above to get out

jovial pumice
#

Oh got it

So this is updated?

I mean, in LOCK 3 I failed three times

But I'm sure I placed the right amount of statues

I killed 10 rats. Put 2 statues on plate #3 (it turned green), hit SUBMIT.. and zap. Incorrect.

No idea what I'm doing wrong.

hi all, hopefully a quick question. I'm on lock number 5, the google docs sheet is telling me for 6 rats, it's 3 statues on number 4. however the weakauras is telling me 2 statues on 3, which one is likely to be more correct?

#

I went with weakauras and it was right!

#

Is my thing bugged? its showing i have 3 locked mechanisms but i havent unlocked any yet?

#

shouldn't it be 7?

abstract steeple
#

there seems to have been a change to this puzzle with this week's maintenance - several reports that failing a round doesn't reset the locks to 7 to go - but starting again with Lock 1 from the table works as normal but only have to do 3 total

the text on the machine telling how many locks to go breaks too

summer radish
#

I can confirm that this puzzle has changed with the reset. I was working on it last night - managed to get 4 locks done, but got zapped on the 5th lock. Went to bed, and this morning only had to do 3 locks.

abstract steeple
#

3 locks to solve seems to be current experience - may get a hotfix

quaint ether
#

YES...UNLOCKS...ON...THIRD...SUCCESS!!😍

runic marsh

i did first one correctly, second failed and i got zapped and next 3 correct and the great lock is unlocked

gritty fern
#

DId 4 correct now and it opened the great lock 🙂

west stream
#

uhm, i only did 3 locks and the great lock has been released. Did it bug it somehow or did it count the stuff i did before resetting the instance?

topaz trench
#

There has been a hotfix to reduce the amount of unlocks needed to only 3, not 7. The chart should still work, you only need to use the the info from the first 3 columns, though.

#

I didnt start this but as my enigma machine says there are 3 locked mechanisms

#

Does this mean that I should only do 3

#

nvm just saw the message above

round drift
foggy panther
#

If you're in the instance by yourself....and there are only 5 statues. And the solution has you using 1, 2 and 3. You have to move back to the machine, so does it count just for you having run over it?

#

I think I don't understand how this is meant to work. I keep following the wowhead article and I've gotten zapped twice despite doing what it says.

abstract steeple

#

@abstract steeple did they ever figure out how they got the answer or was it them finding out the pattern?

abstract steeple
# bright turret <@218039041034027008> did they ever figure out how they got the answer or was it...

it was observation with a lot of trial and error at the start - the solver found the rats and recorded the count - essentially solving for lock 1 each time

some were successful and gave the magnifying glass and unlock emote

so count the rats and try each platform with differing numbers of statues - also trying the same number with previous results showing consistency - pretty much solved lock 1's solution - then more trial and error for the next locks and formulating the solution

a lot of work

#

I've reset the instance twice now. Every single time I get the "10 rats" and have to put 2 statues on pressure plate 3 I get zapped and it resets. The pressure plate has a green aura on it (same as if i put 1 statue and i stand on the plate) but it keeps failing and im kind of at a loss

#

I'm using the WeakAura and the macro to validate this

raven matrix
tribal nacelle
#

They all seem to say with 10 rats you put 2 statues (or a combination of players/statues) on plate 3....yet I get zapped every time and it resets

raven matrix
#

are you counting regular rats or catacomb rats?

tribal nacelle
#

Regular rats. Catacombs rats have been all killed and not counted

#

At this point Im just using the weak aura to count rats, but even if i manually count them it adds up

#

Its like if i get 10 rats im screwed

tribal nacelle
#

Ugh, now I'm just getting random failures when following the table's. This is frustrating

although, why do the guides put up 7 locks but it completed after only 3?

I only completed 2 locks and the final door unlocked for me :S. could it be that previous lucky guesses worked?

abstract steeple
#

They hotfixed it a week ago to only need 3 locks - many guides not updated
and reports that the weakaura also unreliable - double-check your rats count with the combat log and use table to find each round's statue solution

worn marten
#

For new people coming in, updated weakaura string based on the original WeakAura (wago.io/oS8xU2rs_). Some modifications/notes:

  • will always reset rats and try to go to the next lock stage if there is a rat counter
  • if no rats on the counter (new), it updates lock number on gossip open (when you click on machine) to the number shown in the dialogue. If a wrong lock is show, click the machine again to update
  • fixed scaling for only first 3 locks

The process:

  1. click begin
  2. click submit (to summon rats)
  3. count rats, move statues to the plates
  4. click submit
  5. remove previous statues
  6. count rats, move statues to the plates
  7. click submit
  8. remove previous statues
  9. count rats, move statues to the plates
  10. click submit and you are done

abstract steeple
#

cool

outer crow
# abstract steeple cool

Found the issue.
After submitting you need to reopen the bench, because the weakaura thinks you're at a higher lock level.
Eg; Doing lock 2, it said i was at 4, so it was sending 1 onto 4. Which was incorrect.

I have 8 rats for first so table says 2 on 1
Does this means i have to bring 2 statues to be on top of Pad number 1?

Do i need to place all statues at the same time and then submit? I can't seem to get it to work if i do one plate and then submit

#

You only need first 3 locks if you get for example:
I had 9 Rats so i had to put 2 statues on Pad number 2
Then hit submit
Go back to remove statues
Go kill rats again
Check how many statues on next pad
Place statues
Hit submit
Then repeat removing statues
Killing rats...

Ah i found out i accidentally placed a statue on one, maybe thats why i kept failing 🤣
