Re: Puzzles R too hard for me

It's just sodoku, it's actually not that hard if you know how it works and find the right spot to begin with.

But if it's really to hard, there are items in the game which solve the puzzle for you. They are ultra rares, called Remnant Decryption keys and can be found in chests or are even sold by some vendors. Also there are guides like this in case you don't have any keys left.

    Although I would generally recommend you reference the guide mentioned above and just move on and enjoy the rest of the game, if you like puzzles in general, it's better to learn how Sudoku works, also as mentioned above.  I say this because I've always avoided Sudoku puzzles (simply not wanted to learn how they work).  I figured out myself how the Remnant puzzles worked and how easy they became once you learned the strategy.  Then I found out they were based off Sudoku puzzles.  Now I love Sudoku puzzles  🙂

    I have the same problem.  I need a large screen tv and and at least 64-bit, large emoji to even see what the heck the faces are doing.  That's why I always just uses smiley or nothing for the most part  LOL.

    Try the main door of Eladeen's vault.

    Bioware made me cry with this one. No idea how i solved that thing in my first PT.

    edit: looks like a bad day. after half an hour of struggling i called youtube for help. though after that i got stuck again in a room with 6-8 consoles plus a main one on top of a platform which probably gives me +2 skillpoints since i cannot use a decryption key. cant seem to solve anything tonight in that vault. better just leave it for tomorrow. im not used to fail that badly😞

    Bearing in mind - you are talking to somebody who says "R" instead of "are."

    I highly doubt somebody with less than basic language skills can learn basic math skills.  Psychologically speaking, language is the foundation of all other learning and basically if you can't read/write, chances are you will suck at absolutely everything else.  (Not always the case when considering mental limitations, but definitely applicable to the majority of "normal" people.)

    2 areas with alot of consoles in them that I can think of.

    First, has 6, 3 opposite each other.  If you look at the sign is shows you the process to link them all up.  It's something like 1,3, 2, 5, 4, 6.

    Second room is in Voeld.. you have to get the consoles to all line up it involves much running back to the first to trigger the warm bubble.  No idea the solution to this one, I just kept hitting them until it worked.

    But all of the puzzles are straight forward, you just need to think about them abit.  Understand how they work.  Usually clues to them as well.

    My biggest challenge was getting up the tower in Havaaral, the first time, took about an hour, I actually tried to jump up from piller to piller and you can actually get about 50% of the way up the outside doing that.. then eventually I found the console at the bottom and it now takes me about 5mins to get there.

    But as I said, only used 1 external google cheats to get pic of one, think it was a chest.   And another one, with 2 chests at top of piller.. that's some tricky jumping.
