Also, very cruel that you ||can't take any of these boxes||

#

One sec, gotta take care of something

#

Back, had to win an auction 😎

barren acorn
#

You don't notice the downed fences

empty rock
#

I do not

#

It is a curse

barren acorn
#

In some puzzles, the fences are down after solving them

empty rock
#

Imma leave the game running, but I have to hop out for now to run an errand

barren acorn
#

ok

#

Will come back?

empty rock
#

Yep yep! Just a there and back

barren acorn
#

k

empty rock
#

Probably around 20-30 minutes?

barren acorn
#

k

empty rock
#

Back

#

Am I smuggling anything from this puzzle?

barren acorn
#

||I hope that's not possible||

empty rock
#

||Fair enough||

#

||So just a fun romp up top and also to hit that switch?||

barren acorn
#

Yep

empty rock
#

Cool, I have an idea about that, and if I'm right I have NO idea where to go next

#

Great

barren acorn
#

Need hint?

empty rock
#

||If I can get a smuggle item list that would help||

#

||Not where from, just the items needed||

barren acorn
#

It exists

empty rock
#

Lovely

barren acorn
#

And you can find him

#

Literally 10 steps away from you

empty rock
#

I see

#

My mortal enemy

#

We meet again

barren acorn
#

Check the fences

empty rock
#

I'm going to assume this is unintentional

barren acorn
#

||To collect a star in this way is not intended nor possible||

empty rock
#

Gotcha

barren acorn
#

||Even if you set the cube exactly on that edge, you won't reach it||

empty rock
#

Well, I have my collection

#

Even if i get that connector (if it's possible) I wouldn't know where to use it

barren acorn
#

It's time to look for hints. Where do you think we should look for them?

empty rock
#

Probably in the QR codes

barren acorn
#

Yep

empty rock
#

||I saw the nice Talos 2 reference in one of them, which I now see helps with the green laser, but where does that laser go?||

#

Thinking out loud right now, not asking for a hint

barren acorn
#

Don't forget ||to scan QR codes||

empty rock
#

||Unless you've done something cheeky with the textures, QR codes in Talos are translated in game as well||

barren acorn
#

||Not all QR codes in Talos matches to text that you see in the game||

empty rock
#

||Theres a few I can think of that would be weird||

#

Motherf-

#

Alright that's a cool puzzle not gonna lie

barren acorn
#

||The reactions to this QR code are always hilarious||

empty rock
#

||I mean, expected lmao||

#

||But it would have also tipped me off to look deeper at them, so it serves another purpose||

#

Oh I was RIGHT NEXT TO ONE??

barren acorn
#

Yep lol

#

Very slippery

empty rock
#

||Unless there's a spot in the castle I missed, the last one has to be over there||

barren acorn
#

||Last star?||

empty rock
#

||Last switch||

#

||The one behind a gate on a rock wall, bottom left in image||

barren acorn
#

||Got it. Have you seen a place like this inside the castle?||

empty rock
#

||A lot of gates, yeah, but none of them look like the image||

barren acorn
#

||Note that there is a roof in the screenshot||

empty rock
#

||Oh is that what that is?||

#

||Yeah, I'm stumped, I can't find that roof||

#

||I know it's staring right at me but I can't see it||

barren acorn
#

||This place isn't in a castle||

empty rock
#

That would make more sense

#

||Other than the tower and the castle, I don't know of anywhere that has that cobblestone texture||

#

||I've been all over this island and I haven't found it, let alone another gate I haven't seen||

barren acorn
#

||You've never been to this place before||

empty rock
#

||Wonderful||

#

||Is it on the other island?||

barren acorn
#

If you need a hint, it's still the same

empty rock
#

||Not a castle, haven't been there before, so I assume it's on that other island. But how do I get there???||

#

||Is the "walk towards the stars" QR hint used here?||

barren acorn
#

||Yep. Check the QR near fan unlocker||

empty rock
#

||I keep forgetting the most basic things sometimes||

barren acorn
#

It's okay

empty rock
#

Oh my

#

||Should I take my smuggled items back there?||

barren acorn
#

||Check the QR code on greenlight tower||

empty rock
#

I'm gonna have to retroactively check every single one just in case

barren acorn
#

||If I'm not mistaken, this is the last hint in the QR codes||

empty rock
#

||God I just need one more object||

#

How the fuck did I do that

barren acorn
#

😄

empty rock
#

God that hurt my eyes

#

Oh and why look

#

Exactly what I wanted

#

||Well, I can't START the puzzle until I figure out how to get that laser||

barren acorn
#

||Check where it collides with a rocks||

empty rock
#

That's mean, I hope you know that XDD

barren acorn
#

I dont know 😄

empty rock
#

Please tell me I'm not softlocked

barren acorn
#

Looks like

empty rock
#

If I hold X do all my items get reset?

barren acorn
#

Yes

#

Just use cheats

empty rock
#

If you say so Mr. Creator

#

I gotta say, I'm stumped

#

I can do a bunch of things but none of them help the end goal

barren acorn
#

||You aren't required to enable fan right now||

barren acorn
empty rock
#

||Only other thing I can activate with this janky angle is the first gate, which isn't really helpful||

barren acorn
#

||Your next move is on a platform||

#

inside the puzzle ofc

#

I think I'm rather confusing you with these hints lol

empty rock
#

Yeah tiny bit lol

#

I enjoy not being given the answer, but when there's so little to work with...

#

I got nothing

barren acorn
#

lol

empty rock
#

Well this is inviting

barren acorn
#

cheese is so close hahaha

#

I need to fix it haha

empty rock
#

Well this is even less helpful

#

Wait...

#

I could, but I'm not gonna

barren acorn
#

That's cheese

empty rock
#

Yeah, I figured lol

barren acorn
#

So stupid cheese 😄

empty rock
#

Alright, it's almost 2 AM and my brain is frazzled. Can I get the next step at least before my head explodes?

barren acorn
#

||being on top, you need to put the connector on a button||

#

||now you can use both cubes||

#

||so you can easily place both on the fan||

#

I think that's enough for hint

empty rock
#

A game plan is in my head

#

Just need a way to do it

#

Thinking out loud

#

||I need to enter the first gate, cut the power to the fan so that it drops and opens the second gate while I'm in the in-between||

#

||And why is the other fan needed? That's the part I really don't understand||

barren acorn
#

||Think what you can do while timer is ticking||

empty rock
#

It was right there

#

I saw it

barren acorn
#

wp

empty rock
#

||That's why the other fan is there and why it takes so long to fire up||

#

I think

#

I'm done for the night

#

Lmao

barren acorn
#

😄

#

Good night

empty rock
#

G'night

#

Thanks again for the nudges (and giant pushes lol)

barren acorn
#

np

#

See you

barren acorn
#

Is it possible to scroll up to the first post?
Every time I want to edit my post, I have to scroll through all 1000+ comments

#

@crystal quiver Maybe you know?

crystal quiver
#

Don't think so

mild ibexBOT
barren acorn
fringe wolf
#

I think only moderators can pin messages even here

#

But yeah, it sucks how you have to scroll all the way up to the top instead of just being able to jump to it

#

And another flaw of this discord forum thingy is if you try to select threads with a certain tag it only shows a few and the rest disappear

#

So to be able to scroll all the "maps" tag let's say you can't select any tags and have to scroll all the threads manually to get to some old map release

#

Idk why Discord didn't do anything about these 2 flows

zenith wharf
#

so you saying get all stars and get first ending? when i got some free time i might attempt it thats all

#

or are you saying i would be able to just do the puzzles and get first ending for it to be "valid"?

barren acorn
#

||I want to make this really necessary since the second terminal mentions what Elohim says in the first terminal||

zenith wharf
#

||so you grab all the stars, go to terminal 1, say stay, then go to terminal 2?||

#

also would you allow the use of the fast forward key? explicitly in recorder puzzles only?

barren acorn
#

btw don't forget to enable ingame timer

zenith wharf
#

nice

icy minnow
#

@zenith wharf

#

Sorry... my finger slipped....

icy minnow
#

XD

#

We're kinda stuck ||searching for the last switch. The one shown behind a blue door on the image behind the fortress||

zenith wharf
icy minnow
#

||different from the one with the picture?||

zenith wharf
#

||so you have fully "scanned" the correct QR code?||

#

i dont want to give the game away for others even if they do reveal these lol

icy minnow
#

||I scanned the one next to the door with my phone. Clicked the link to the picture. But cant find the bottom left switch on it :/||

zenith wharf
#

ok good 🙂

#

||wheres the one place you haven't been/can't get to yet?||

icy minnow
#

||I passed the door next to the QR code but I'm pretty sure it was not legit. The blue beam is sent to the island but I haven't found a way to reach it||

zenith wharf
#

so you've done half of the job right there. ||you just need to figure out how to get over there now||

icy minnow
#

||any tips for that? Thanks a lot anyway :)||

zenith wharf
#

theres another QR which can help with that

#

||It's very cryptic and philosophical, you'll know it when you see it||

icy minnow
#

||frog and bats thing?||

zenith wharf
#

unfortunately not lol

icy minnow
#

Back to square 1 then...

#

Ah, might have an idea

#

||is it necessary for the blue beam to be connected to cross?||

zenith wharf
#

||it's not necessary to cross no, but you still need it once you get over there||

#

||you can cross any time you want||

icy minnow
#

||has to do with "the path you cant see" right?||

zenith wharf
#

Bingo

#

just read it fully

icy minnow
#

I swear I thought I tried that already xD thanks a lot 🙂

zenith wharf
#

@barren acorn im gunna start trying a speed run lol

zenith wharf
#

so far

#

for now im allowing resets for myself just so i can practive the puzzles

#

had to reset FG twice lol

barren acorn
#

Huh

barren acorn
#

@icy minnow How far did you get?

cunning elm
#

Fanless into the castle pepelaugh

barren acorn
#

Wtf haha

#

Is it really possible?

cunning elm
#

baldmisonod using various glitches etc

barren acorn
#

It seems to me that this is only possible with a fan, but I have fixed all the fans before

#

Uh okay

#

Glitches won't be fixed

cunning elm
#

item jumps / taking items through barriers / ladder glitches

barren acorn
#

What are you doing?

cunning elm
#

hmm well a combination of all those... if you're not going to fix then i'll do a vid sometime

barren acorn
#

I don't think there's any point in fixing glitches. Their use is on the player's conscience 😄

barren acorn
icy minnow
#

Great map 🙂

barren acorn
#

Cool

#

Thanks!

zenith wharf
#

I like the changes and fixes you’ve done to FG and Intervention.

#

||struggling to figure out how to get the 2nd connector out of intervention again though since you made the fence higher haha. Might need a hint lol ||

barren acorn
#

||Checkout the crypt: there is new item||

zenith wharf
#

Oh okay haha

#

I will later I’m at work currently

#

So my next question is: ||how do I get the blue beam to the island with only one connector lol ||

barren acorn
#

||I've brought back the old simple way that was originally intended. From the window in Exhibit.||

zenith wharf
#

There’s a window?! Haha

#

I didn’t notice it yesterday when solving

barren acorn
#

😄

zenith wharf
#

Got quicker at the puzzle too

#

I did fg in 12 mins and exhibit it 7 I think

#

I really like the changes to fg btw

#

The fact you don’t have to resolve the whole thing if you do a reset before ||trying to smuggle the 2 boxes and connector back out||

#

The wall also extended out so you can’t activate the right side gate with a connector in the middle. Didn’t take long for me to figure it out actually

#

||you point the connector from the middle to the fixed connector and also from the connector on the pressure plate to the fixed one so the electric drone can’t knock out both beams at the same time?|| please say that’s the correct way haha

barren acorn
zenith wharf
#

That’s how I solved it

barren acorn
#

||No, it wasn't intended that way, but I don't think it's a problem. There are at least two other ways to do it.||

#

||All the ways requires you to use static connector, so you need to prevent passive mine from blocking the beam||

#

||But there are at least 3 ways to deal with the mine||

#

||tbh the originally intended method is the simplest, and yet I haven't seen anyone get to it||

zenith wharf
#

||Well one way I know of is to get the cube from intervention and use it to block the path of the mine||

barren acorn
#

||I listed only methods without external items||

#

||Block with cube, disable with jammer and your||

zenith wharf
#

But obviously that isn’t the original way. I know it meant to be solved without external mean||

#

||Ahhhh jammer yes||

#

Honestly didn’t think of the obvious lol

#

I can see you fixing my method. ||where you’ve moved the static connector it’s now viewable from the middle||

#

Please don’t I quite like it haha

#

It feels intentional when I did it. Unlike all the questionable ways I’ve solved it before haha

barren acorn
#

tbh I'm not sure if it's worth fixing

#

||In that case you can't get out a connector that is connected with static connector||

#

||So you'll still need to activate it some other way||

zenith wharf
#

||Just thought thought, to use the jammer on the drone you then are then exposing yourself to the bomb?||

barren acorn
#

||This is possible with the proper placement of all available objects||

zenith wharf
#

||Just thought, using a connector to block make it bounce back and a cube to get back up to the top pressure plate?||

#

||No because then need the connector to bridge the beam to the connector on the plate…||

#

Hmm

barren acorn
#

||Blockink mine with connector is intended||

zenith wharf
#

||Yes but with the connector down on the ground you can’t grab it without getting blown up and also once you jam the electric drone the the force field will be back up again so you need something on the top pressure plate to begin with||

#

||unless you simply place the cube on the ground so you can get back up, connector on top pressure plate, wait then run into the bottom pressure plate to block the bomb behind you. Then jam the electric drone, then time it so you can place the connector on the plate again (connected to the static one) and run to the cube and jump up before the bomb coms back? ||

#

I so wish I was at home to try that. It sound like it would work

barren acorn
#

||Sounds pretty complicated. My way: place a connector on the bottom plate, cube on the top plate. Then use jammer to stop the mine near the window, put a connector that will both wire the beam and block the mine. Then pick up the jammer and catch the timing to deactivate the passive mine||

zenith wharf
#

||Hmm i would have thought the bomb would block the path of the beam as it bounces off the connector. Or do you just have to have clever placement (to one side) so it doesn’t ||

cunning elm
#

||I think I had one connector up in the window, and then i guess the angle down to the ground connector means it's not broken by mine... ||

zenith wharf
#

I think that’s how I solved part of it yesterday.

cunning elm
barren acorn
#

Noice

#

Screw the cubes, we'll go with the connector

empty rock
#

Now comes the fun part

#

||I thought the fan on the hill would take me to this star on top of the puzzle, but now I have no idea how to get up here||

#

||Is the solution another fan I just haven't found yet?||

barren acorn
#

Yep

empty rock
#

Figured

barren acorn
#

I'm surprised you haven't found it yet

empty rock
#

Oh, I'm sure it's staring me right in the face

#

Oop

zenith wharf
zenith wharf
#

good idea though to lower graphics setting lower to get smoother frames

#

i play on max and sometimes hiccups

zenith wharf
#

stars too

#

if so then bravo

cunning elm
#

But no, I doubt you can do it all fanless

#

Except maybe with cube jumps, which I haven't yet mastered on the current build...something changed about how they work

zenith wharf
#

not that im am going to be using them but how d oyou even do them

#

i get you jump to it and pause and it auto levitates you up? or you have to do something?

cunning elm
#

Basically drop and jump, but in a certain position (distance from wall, and may be the wall has to be slighty sloping) you can get a "Perfect item jump" which launches you a lot, needs high frame rate i think... I'm not an expert on these things

#

Then there's a "nozu jump" which is sort of similar but involves drop, pickup, jump, so you can take items with you

zenith wharf
#

yeah i saw them looks like its split second timing too

#

i was referring to the ladder/cube jumps

cunning elm
#

oh yeah that's some weird thing, guided slide, where you jump whilst in the menu

#

and combined with the ladder , it sort of thinks you are still on the ladder

zenith wharf
#

would be good to see an any% run

cunning elm
#

or maybe not even guided slide...maybe it's a guided warp....yeah go and watch some you'll see all these

zenith wharf
#

im going for a glitchless run

cunning elm
#

oh i mean in the normal game any%, or all sigils...

#

or maybe not all these, but some ... i think ladder stuff maybe only in 60fps all sigils

zenith wharf
#

well any% refers to you can abuse glitches to get past things quicker like you did

#

glitchless is well in the name

#

playing how its intended

cunning elm
#

sure I mean in the normal game speedruns that exist, I've learn the tricks from guides that people have made for running them

#

go watch either the runs, or have a look at the tutorials, with a bit of practice you can at least familiarize yourself with them

zenith wharf
#

i might do. be interesting to see how much of the game you can skip

cunning elm
#

azorae's former wr for all sigils is great

zenith wharf
#

like i said though i just want to try and get some sort of decent time playing it how its intended

#

just pure speed and efficiency

#

fg is sweaty trying to get it done quick

cunning elm
#

but why the no resets rule?

zenith wharf
#

idk, in game clock i spose

#

i would say you game save once you've collected all sigils would be sufficient

cunning elm
#

oh, set up livesplit, and it has a splitter for ttp1 and will auto start on new game etc

zenith wharf
#

i dont know how to set those up

#

ive seen loads of speed runners for old games run a splitter though so i know what they do and how they work

#

watxhing azoraes vid now

#

he's insane lol

#

just yeets himself across the map just hopping everwhere haha

#

i dont get how he resets so quick sweating

cunning elm
#

looots of practice

Hey, guys! How about we leave some messages on the map?
If anyone wants to, write a text, I'll leave your messages on the spawn 😄

Example:
Don't go to the forgotten garden

here?

barren acorn
#

Yep

"Great creative puzzles, Very well made. Can't wait for more." 😄

barren acorn

There will be more 🙂

#

"Glitched_Spoon" is fine

barren acorn
barren acorn
#

Wow, this map came out on top for the year

fringe wolf
#

Congrats

#

Tbh, there weren't many maps in last 6 years but you still got enough subscribers and views to earn 4 stars on workshop

#

However for 5 stars I think you need a thousand like ratings or some big number like that

barren acorn
#

Yeah, steam's stupid rating system
A little bit of info that I found:

You need 200 positive votes (and +1 vote more for every negative vote to have 5 stars). So you gain 5 stars only after 200 positive votes + 1 vote for every negative + 1 extra positive vote to get 5 stars.

fringe wolf
#

It's a bit dumb but if it has 4 stars you know it's worth downloading

barren acorn
#

However, from what I understand, it's pretty easy to get down to three stars

#

Just one or two dislikes

fringe wolf
#

Really?

zenith wharf
#

So basically you need 200 more positive than negative with the threshold being 200 lol

#

In your case that will be 200 positive and 0 negative kekW

#

Because your map is goated

barren acorn
#

@zenith wharf Now you have a QR

barren acorn
#

There's an IMPOSTER

zenith wharf
grave nacelle
#

i am struggling with forgotten garden

zenith wharf
#

We all did

#

There's a lot of "moving parts" It's not just a set items down and its done lol. You need to unlock certain aspects of the puzzle to progress and get the right items in the right place.

barren acorn
#

btw I have walkthrough vid for the Forgotten Garden

#

but I didn't publish it here

zenith wharf
#

i have it though KEKLEO

grave nacelle
#

i finally solved it

barren acorn
zenith wharf
#

@barren acorn I hope you are looking at doing another map soon

zenith wharf
#

Get a bit of a portfolio going to get them ratings up

zenith wharf

And ~60-80 hours more after release

barren acorn

#

Wow that’s quick for how well made this one is

#

Don’t burn yourself out too much bro

barren acorn

And the Intervention puzzle is the first thing I did

barren acorn

You’ve seen how I solved it right? Is that the intended way?

barren acorn

👀

barren acorn
barren acorn
#

||There is a lot of solutions, but all of them is actually set of same moves||

#

You can only change the order of these steps

zenith wharf
#

yeah i noticed. first time i solved it i got the same result but after that i found a solve with less moving about. with the playback you obviously have the choice how to solve it a bit more

barren acorn
zenith wharf
#

yeah probably... with perfect timing and aim though

zenith wharf
#

Note to self: shorter/easier puzzle names KEKLEO

barren acorn
#

They're already as short as possible 😄

#

All that's left is to rename FG to G

#

btw your nickname is no longer glitchy. Is it time to change it to Fixed spoon? 🤔

zenith wharf
#

Forgotten garden is fine

#

Nah apparently its against server rules to have non standard characters

#

so i had a mod change it for me

barren acorn
#

got it

zenith wharf
#

It wasn't a mod who pointed it out. was someone else and i wasnt aware it was a rule (lets be honest who actually reads them properly) KEKLEO

barren acorn
zenith wharf
#

i know haha

#

i made a comment about someone name having bitcoin in it and actually being a person who talks not a scambot

#

and someone else said that my name was a actually against the rules

#

i was like...

barren acorn
zenith wharf
#

Dunno tbh

#

must have been someone who had such an messed up name they couldnt tag them

#

only thing i can think of

#

I've never been in a server with that rule so with how specific the rule is, prob something they had an issue with

barren acorn
zenith wharf
#

yep... well not my rules and we are in thier server

#

have to be a good boi

barren acorn
zenith wharf
#

umm well i kinda stopped playing it

#

i got the last stars to get

barren acorn
#

got it

zenith wharf
#

i think ihave some of the switches done (and saved) i believe i have 2 more to do ||(castle wall and temple island)||

grave nacelle
#

yes i'm enjoying this

zenith wharf
#

🙂

grave nacelle
barren acorn
grave nacelle
#

no everything fine, still looking for some of the switches and 1 star

barren acorn
#

Oh, okay, you're welcome to help if you need it

zenith wharf
#

Happy to give loose hints too 🙂

barren acorn
grave nacelle
#

please may i have some hints for the other switches? i have found the one in the bush and the one on the little island.

barren acorn
grave nacelle
#

can't believe i walked past that a hundred times

barren acorn
#

It's okay

barren acorn
#

Well... After a long time, I did record a walkthrough

zenith wharf
#

Nice one 🙂

#

Worth asking for to be pinned?

#

If that possible in a thread

barren acorn
#

I've already added it to the main post, but let it be

#

So far I have found 3 sigils to free the Fan but I can't the fourth one. What are the locations of these sigils?

barren acorn
untold valley
#

I have just finished this map, first of all great work. I played through it in VR so there were some hiccups along the way but overall it can be finished.

#

I spent way too long trying to activate one of the switches that i finally gave up and looked at the walkthrough video. It turned out ||to be way simpler than what i was assuming - you just step on a box and flick it, but you can not do this in VR because my real-life arm is not long enough to reach it and the switch never became hilighted/pressable so i assumed more boxes were needed and even with them it was still not enough. I tried jumping from the top of the castle wall multiple times with no success. I ended up having to stand on the box, then stand on my bed IRL to become artificially tall enough to reach it.||

#
  • The binculars don't work in VR, when you click it, it just disappears and you get frozen in place
#
  • ||The way to get the box into the puzzle from the side does not work in VR in the intended way because the box cannot be reached with your hand once you jump onto the next platform. I ended up getting around it by performing a trick where you place the box and jump immediately after to land ontop of it which i think is not possible in the flat version of the game||
#

Thank you for playing and for the detailed feedback!
I had anticipated that there might be some challenges in VR, but unfortunately, I don’t have VR, so I can't fully test or optimize the map for VR play. Anyway, that's great, that you found a way to resolve all the issues.
Stealing the three boxes and the jammer really wasn't intended, however at this point I don't know of any ways to get them without using glitches.

The issues have mostly involved things being just out of arm reach, but only to get to the various secrets. To bust out the jammer|| i went to the puzzle with the mine in it. In the area next to the mine where the box is, i placed the box on the platform next to the window. It's possible to jump from there to the top of the closed barrier and stand on it. Then you can grab the box and put it ontop of the barrier to jump outside the puzzle and take anything else you want with you like the jammer or any box or connector.||
