Over Three hours and still can't get past it

Post by onlinechaos »

The game was fun up till Level 7 the iron door where you have to block the 3 spectral bolts from reaching their recepticle in order to open the door. The game is no longer fun trying to get past it that puzzle. It killed the game for me. I don't mind puzzles that require using your head but the twitch factor on this puzzle I find impossible. I have to give the game a thumbs down due to the timing/twich puzzles.

Try to practice more, you actually catch the light before being on the square it self but when u still move to it. Also, for fast moving from one Side to the other Hold --> or <-- And ofc, you need to learn the patern to make it easy for you.

And also you can just skip it. As far as I remember that is just a stash with few Items, doesn't really block your progression down.

Personally I found that puzzle quite easy and solved it on first try. I have heard that on low-performance computers that puzzle can be challenging so maybe that might be your problem.

If you have classic figher in heavy armor/evasive rogue - the armor behind doors in useless.

When the game becomes frustrating and you're no longer having fun, then that's the time to pack it in. No one should pay to become frustrated and upset, games are suppose to be enjoyed. Some will see these puzzles as a challenge, others will see it them as being stupid and frustrating. Games like LOG walk a fine edge between the two.

Also if you can't solve a puzzle, just give it rest, sleep over it and try on the other day. :) You will be amazed how things look on a fresh start of a day and are simple to solve. So don't burn ur self, if you can't solve something take a break and return later.

it's solvable while overencumbered. it took me over 100+ tries. Also i was laughing at myself when i noticed iam slowed down :)
