Glyp's - Where are they
I am on Eos & have been for hours. I have found 3 Glyp's. Two and the first site and one at the second. I can not find the 4th Glyp and am so frustrated that I am ready to stop playing this game. As ...

@ianandrews292: What exactly are you having problems with? Some things to keep in mind:
(Missing) glyphs are per console/site. That means the site in the north (where you meet a certain P....) has it's own set, the site in the west has it's own set, and the site in the southeast has its own set.
You only need more glyphs if you still have '?' symbols on the decryption console. If you don't, you can try solving the puzzle.
Keep in mind: You need to solve the north site first, the other consoles won't work until you do - you can collect glyphs, but the consoles are inoperable at first.
Typically (at least on the 'starter' puzzles) the following works: Aim the scanner at the console and follow the cables - they each lead to a glyph. Glyphs are typically on top of or behind things. If you can't get there, there are some pillars around you can raise up with a separate console (southeast & west sites have this). Just use the scanner, follow the blue line, use the attached console, then you can jump where you need to go. (Later consoles, especially optional 'bonus' ones might not have cable hints - you will really have to look everwhere)
Get comfortable with the mechanic of using the scanner to see what leads where - you're gonna use this a lot.
On to the puzzles: If there are no '?' symbols, just do what it says - fill in the board so there are no repetitions per row, column or outlined subshape. Just click each 'empty' spot until it has a fitting symbol. If there's a 4 symbol row/column/shape with three symbols filled in, start there. Move on from there....
Later things get kinda trickier, but the 'learning curve' is okay.
@Sludge-Gulper: Try 'easy' and a somewhat more tactical approach maybe? You'll need to learn to deal with those pesky remnants - otherwise you'll have

rather 'big problems' 😇
Followed all the blue lines and scanned all glyphs. Puzzle still says missing glyphs. Is this a bug? Cannot go any further in game. Is this the ending? terrible game!
I haven't ever experienced a bug where a scanned glyph didn't register, but I have seen some posts about this, so it is very possible a bug. Without more data about where exactly you are, and what you have done, I can't say one way or another. I can suggest you watch a youtube video of the area you are on and see if it shows you anything to scan or look at.....also double checking to make sure you actually scanned the glyphs is a good idea. Usually, IIRC, the blue lines go away once you scan the glyphs.
@ralph95121; If you still have a [ ? ] on the activation panel, you haven't found all the glyphs for that one. Depending on which monolith site you're trying to activate, sometimes the glyphs are atop structures that require "help" (e.g. movable pillars) to reach or are outside the immediate area (lookin' at you, Voeld) and you have to go back out and around to find them.
(And as @mcsupersport said, YouTube is your friend. 😉 )
Glyphs are sometimes right nearby, or in nearby rooms. For outdoor sites, some are on the side, or the top of those slanted remnant pillars, sometimes requiring you to activate a panel to raise up some columns. I remember a couple of those on Eos. I just finished Voeld and found one with two on top of the same pillar.
In the vaults, there are some annoying ones that are a bit harder to find, but the outdoor ones should be easy.
Usually, if you scan the console and walk the area, a bright yellow powerline shows between the console with the puzzle you are trying to solve and the glyphs associated with it. SAM will tell you when you find the last glyph you need that there are no more detected in the area, or your Ryder will say something to the effect that they can try it now.
I remember one where you have 2-3 glyphs in that icy cave but the last one is actually outside above the cave. I wonder if that's the one that people are on about.
