The best moments in The Witness happen when a solution dawns upon you like the rising sun. The Witness' island - idyllic, beautiful, as devoid of people as it is of hints - excels at both. In every puzzle game, there is agony and there is joy.

It removes one symbol that it is in the same section with.Tweet Whether you want a gentle nudge, an outright solution or a full walkthrough, this is the guide for you
That won’t work.Įlimination marks work in conjunction with everything else. So if you have a four block-long line that is laying perfectly horizontal, divide a vertical four-block section for it. But if the symbol is perfectly up and down or left and right, you have to keep it that way. If they are slanted diagonally, it doesn’t matter what direction the spaces are in as long as they are shaped like the piece. Now, a few more things about these Tetris pieces. Here’s an illustration where the puzzle with the solution is on the left and the reasoning is on the right: This means you need to rope off four blocks shaped like an L that also contains that box. On the bottom, you can see an L-shaped Tetris piece sitting at a slight slant. These are what I’m calling “Tetris pieces.” For these mazes, you need to create an outline that is exactly big enough to house these shapes. In the puzzles above, you can see an arrangement of yellow blocks in some of the boxes. Colored boxes and stars (which look kinda like asterisks and stars mashed together) behave similarly to black and white boxes with a few twists. You’ll run into a lot more than just black and white boxes. It’s only important that they are not sharing a space with any dots of the opposite color. This also means that black dots or white dots don’t have to be in the same section. Also note that just below where the maze starts (the fat teal dot) is an opening on the border to the right. You can see that every white dot is inside where my teal line is drawn, and the black dots end up outside of it. To help you understand, let’s explain what is happening in the puzzle above, which is one of the first complicated black-and-white mazes you come across. To help you understand what that means, check out the description of a dividing line in the breakout box. To complete a dividing line, you will usually need to go all the way to the border - but the border does not need to be closed by your line.īlack and white dots are simple to understand, but as with many simple concepts in The Witness, they can get insanely complicated.īlack dots and white dots can never end up on the same side of a dividing line. Take this early tree puzzle:Ī dividing line is any line you draw in The Witness that segments one part of the maze from the rest. Some puzzles are going to require you to look around. To start off this guide, I’m going to talk about these rules to help put some puzzle logic into works. You will, eventually, learn the logic of every star and colored block as you play - but some puzzles are more complex than others. Logic puzzles, however, are self-contained and force you to understand what certain symbols mean. Area walkthroughsĭeveloper Jonathan Blow and his studio, Thekla, have littered its digital island with hundreds of line-drawing maze puzzles, but they come in two primary flavors: observational and logic.įor observational puzzles, you must look around the environment for clues. That said, I understand that time constraints and frustration tolerance is different for everyone.
