[PC] Does anyone else HATE the glyph puzzles?
I've gotten far enough into the game where I am now getting the 5 row x 5 column glyph puzzles.
I personally feel that these are EVEN WORSE than all of the dang decription you had to do in ME3.

Am I the only one enjoying the puzzles? Haha how can you get stressed of a puzzle? come on 😛
I thought I was fine with them
Please tell me what i have wrong here.. it has fail every time, on the ice planet, I mean I Thought I understood no same item in any row hoz. or vert. I am pretty sure that is what I have.
My eye sight is not super, but I felt like I did it right, but they keep failing.
@taglag45 you see the like lines on the bricks. you cant repeat the same glyph in an area. up in the right corner you can see your mistake
1. Okay so I not only have to Aline them Hor., and Vert., but I must keep in mind the segmented sections of the block as well, and keep all duplicates out of said sections.
Yes I hate Glyph Puzzles, now for sure.
Nor me all they do is, add a cheap way to extend, and frustrate the game play, and for me they have no fun value what so ever.
Wasting my time, and doing a repetitive, same thing brain tease, is not fun, in any action game to Me.
Looking for a switch, I understand, reaching some hard to get Item I understand, Paper puzzles or puzzles I find in paper puzzle books in the magazine rack, are not what I pay for in a computer game.
I will add this to another stupid Idea from Bioware >>> "wicked ways, and wicked Heart's" I think it was in DAI, the time limit, and the stupid rush, rush, and be sure you don't miss anything is another thing I totally hated, and then the keep your Rating with the crowd at 100 BS, was something I really hated.
These stupid "Not fun at all" Glyph Puzzles are for sure on my list of stupid Idea's from probably "bean counters" who think making a game longer makes it better, ( These People know nothing about games ) >>> even if the thing lengthening it is totally frustrating, and boring. They probably don't even play any games except the daily crossword puzzle, and the cheat with a crossword puzzle dictionary on that.
2. Okay so I agree, best to just google the answers, and try to ignore the fact that I have to alt tab all the time to finish the game, This is so Stupid.
1. Oh, c'mon. How can one be so butthurt by some Sudoku? As if the game designers aimed to p*ss you off on purpose ... also generalizing much, huh? 😉
Frankly, those 4x4 are easy af and for 5x5 you can use decryption keys, which are obtainable from a merchant on Aya. You can even reset his inventory for an infinite amount of keys (as long as you have the money) just by fast traveling within the location.
2. You can print or even write down the solutions. That's how we used game guides back in the day, sweetie.
Not even talking about manners ... on that account I'm no better, but goddammit some Sudoku would actually do you good.

the easiest two ways i've found to solve the puzzles is either to purchase decryption keys at the market on Aya,
or google the answers on the web.
however, i see at least two mistakes on the puzzle...
top row, repeated glyphs,
and right hand corner section, multiple repeated glyphs.
You can't have same gylph in same area. In your case, the upper-right hand corner.
On the 5x5's don't just try to solve them vertically or horizontally. In many cases, you can solve one of the areas. Most often one of the opposite area's will have glyphs that will lock down the positions of the missing glyphs in the area you're solving. Thus solving one area. Once you have one area solved, the others fall into place.
Some questions to ask:Which horizontal's, verticals, or area's are filled in the most?
Which glyphs can be placed in the missing slots of the most filled in "area's"?
What glyphs directly interfere (due to the no duplicates rule) with the horizontal, vertical, or area I am studying?
Can an interfering glyph be used in a different position in the area I am studying?
Repeat these questions over and over until the puzzle is solved.
