The Witness (PS4/PC)

Re: The Witness (PS4/PC)

There's method to the madness. I'm not sure what would be ok for me to say. There is a way to figure out which limb to move the dot to.

When you figure it out, it's a valuable lesson moving forward. I hope this is cryptic enough

Direct revealing explanation to the solution, spoiler alert

Spoiler

Use the environment. Look at the trees.

Took me multiple times to see this until...

Spoiler

I just happened to see the apple hanging from the tree.

I did get stuck on the last one before I shut it off.

Re: The Witness (PS4/PC)

So one thing I can't tell from the watching short portions of gameplay videos on this.

Is there some kind of music playing or are there audio clues that you really have to listen to in order to solve puzzles? This game seems like it's right up my alley, but I'm just wondering if I can throw on a Spotify playlist while I play without missing anything.

Re: The Witness (PS4/PC)

I tried having Spotify up when I played and it wasn't working out well for me. I don't know if there are necessarily parts where you couldn't complete it if you had Spotify up but I get too absorbed with the atmosphere

Re: The Witness (PS4/PC)

I'm not clicking on that spoiler but I'm glad to know there is a method to the madness.

Now that I know there is a method, I'm reminded of other puzzles I have come across that have some loose form of the tree puzzle.

And just as suddenly, ideas are in my head on how to solve them.

Until next time!

There are audio recordings you can find. But you do have subtitles and I can't say for certain you need to hear the actual voice.

I'm sure there's music playing but I'm focused on puzzles I don't remember.

There's one type of puzzle that has audio cues. There's audio recordings you find too, but you'll know when you come up on those. For the rest you are free to put on Spotify since there's no real background music to the game.

Re: The Witness (PS4/PC)

Alright, I'm definitely getting this game then.

Okay. I figured it out. Had a feeling while at work and of course, fired this up and there was the answer.

This is the first game that I have been able to play with my wife. We solved 40 puzzles on our first time playing and played it a second time last night and we both got nauseous after 5 minutes and had to turn it off.

Interesting to see you post this, as I had, during just one of my playthroughts, a slightly issue with nausea as well. I chalked it up to just maybe something I ate earlier, as I am never one to get seasick/motion sick or anything like that.

Anyway, I haven't played since I posted I was stuck on that one final puzzle in a certain area. If I can't get past it I am gonna have to resort to seeking help.

Re: The Witness (PS4/PC)

3.7 gb on 20 meg internet shouldn't be that bad, I don't think. It's a pretty small file size for a game as far as I know.

I'm trying so hard not to break down and look for a guide to help me with a puzzle I'm stuck on. I might ask around here to see if any of you guys have passed the part I'm at. I've been looking at this one for probably 2 hours. Either I'm missing something or it just requires critical thinking beyond my level

I just worry if I use a guide once I'll break down easier and easier and use it more and more.

Which area are you in?

Re: The Witness (PS4/PC)

I had the nausea issue the other night I figured it was something I had eaten not too long before as well. Had to turn it off about 5 minutes into my session Friday night. Weird.

Re: The Witness (PS4/PC)

I ended up getting this game.
Was stuck on the final tree puzzle for a bit but ended up getting it. Tricky one. But I could've guessed away at it.

Hopefully the puzzles have more variety in them as you go along.

So far I think the game is a bit over priced.
Not having as much fun as I did with Gone Home

Ill post a pic when I transfer pics from PS4 to PC. Just need to find my flash drive. If you have been playing the the game with any regularity I am sure you have passed it already.

I googled it and there are dedicated threads about it. I read the reddit thread on it and there were different theories, ranging from lack of crosshair being the culprit to the way the character moves. A lot of people said what I said, about never having issues with motion sickness at all. Some people were saying using a high performance monitor (144hz) could be doing it as well, which my BenQ has

There are areas I've stayed away from so I don't get caught up. But there's a puzzle that has me completely stumped.

Most in further areas I can see that I'm not aware of a rule. That's fine. But this one puzzle is similar to the tree one and I don't get it at all.

I have to check it out again because I'm sure I'm not looking in the right place. I have assumptions but then I got caught up solving the monastery.
