I don't know what I'm doing

neither does the dev

Keep going long and you'll eventually roll a new room that makes the rng suck slightly less.
Reached 46 on Day 39.

>>715951518
When you say 'reached' do you mean got to the antechamber or opened it? I reached it on my 4th or 5th day but couldn't get inside, I think I just found a way to get in on one of my previous days though I'm not sure if the house will have reverted what I did yet or not

Playing past room 46 was a mistake, puzzle logic really takes a nosedive

>>715950861 (OP)
you're wasting your time with pointless roguelike slop

It's a game specifically designed to waste as much time as it can.

>>715951714
I'm filtered, I've solved everything but the last puzzle, I'm certain I have all the information but I'm just not putting it together correctly

>>715950861 (OP)
The problem with this game is that the puzzles are either mobile tier braindead easy or very obtuse and deliberately niche for midwits to feel smart, but nothing cohesive in between those two groups.

>>715952435
Which one?

>>715952370
It really ends up being more annoying than fun at the end.
It's like being served a puzzle. You have some fun figuring it out and now you're ready to solve it.
But the game goes "ah ah ah, you have to find the puzzle again before you can solve it".
So you play for 1-2 hours until you reach the puzzle again. Now you can solve it.
"Ah ah ah", goes the game. "You might have found the puzzle, but you have to find the answer too."
But you already know the answer. You know that X is the answer to Y. That's the fun part, figuring that shit out. It's not fun to have to find X and Y again, which is random, before you can proceed. At that point there's very little interesting to do, you just have to cross your fingers and hope you get lucky so you can move on.
It's a good idea and it did surprise me at times, but I just lost all interest after a while.

>>715952650
The problem with this game is that its puzzles are dependent on finding the answer beforehand, there's no logic approach to them, either you've found it or you aren't solving it.

and train stops, the former of which I've found basically all the extra letters of
maybe it's not literally the last puzzle because I have multiple loose ends but I'm missing 1 key
need 1 more blackbridge chip and I've found the sundial alternate chip insert

>>715952746
that's not entirely true, some of them are just annoying shuffling (pump room) but that's still a puzzle or the clock tower puzzle

>>715952841
man I think I just realised I missed something I had saved fucking hell still don't think it helps I haven't played this game for like 2 months

So, how were you meant to solve the billiards room puzzles without looking up what the colours meant online?
You would have to be fairly deep into the game to have found the solution legitimately and as a result probably wasted dozens of runs because you missed out on the key rewards.

>>715953027
There are multiple pictures and notes and objects in the game depicting letters written vertically. They all help with castle cipher.
I hope you finished the classrooms and got A New Clue.

>>715953090
You have the order of operations right next to it.
At most it's a bit of trial and error.

>>715953090
Trial and error.

>>715950861 (OP)
>I don't know what I'm doing
Slow down. Take notes.

>>715953264
You mean
>randomly stumble on a note for a room in some unrelated room

>>715952841
castle isa 3x6 grid you need to fill with info scattered all over and decipher
train stops are like one fair late game puzzle, you get told what to do both in the BOOK and in a hidden puzzle that tells you where microchip 2 is
Having beaten it spending many many hours bashing my head against the wall, do look up a hint if you need it. Some of this shit is contrived nonsense, especially end game stuff

>>715953090
bro
Billiard room starts with this logic, so the colors always follow the order of operation shown on the side. So each time you solve it you learn which color represents which operation.
And when colors start to appear all over the board then you'll know to follow the color=operation rule, and not the order written on the side.

>>715953264
>Take notes.
Screenshot everything you mean.

>>715953090
Trial and error, also when I first did it I was unsure of which aspect was multiplication and which part was division, figuring that the answer had to be between 1 and 20 I was able to figure out that the one which gave me a number beyond that range did was not feasible
every time after that is just basic maths

>>715953131
I have done the test and have deciphered all the clues in a new clue

>>715953090
As another anon said, order of operations plus the classroom

>>715953429
You're missing clue from kennels and from cloister

>>715953338
no I have all this information man that's why I'm filtered, I have created schizo instructions based on the train stops as an order of events and that hasn't yielded good results

>>715950861 (OP)
this game is kind of lame. walking simulator. dare i say, overrated.

>>715953596
Now guess how many hours in the game this guy has and how many attempts it took.

>>715953090
a magnifying glass in the nook isn't that late into the game anon

>>715953538
wrong

>>715953550
you need clue book and magnifying glass to interpret the info given to you by train stops

I hate the clue book. I needed magnifying glass info from it like 5 times and you need to get it one day, then not get cucked out of magnifying glass the other. This one "normal" part of the game i think is horseshit. Library should always have a fucking glass

>>715953596
>glitchless
>uses glitches
Wow.

>>715953774
More like once you get to room 46 the game should just let you keep basic items.
Not constructs, but at least glass/shovel/metal detector/hammer

>>715953728
Now enter the secret passage from the back because there's a clue on the back of the shelves which disappears if you open the passage. That should be the last missing letter.

>>715953774
I saved a bunch of magnified pictures from A New Clue so maybe I'm just doing things in reverse
also the x>y>z>a>b>c part gave me pseudo gibberish

Blue Prince more like Blue Balls because you'll never get the rooms, items and drafts you need to solve everything.

>>715953926
Maybe you read the published copy instead of the original draft with author notes?

>>715953641
>>715953813
Cope.
You can easily beat the game in under 10 hours if you're smart.

>>715953865
bro you don't UNDERSTAND

>>715954017
Lucky. If you are lucky.

>>715953976
I have read the 8 places in 8 months puzzle will that says I should have the original draft red prince and new clue but idk how to access those do they just show up in the library or

>>715953926
>gibberish
it recall getting it wrong the first time too somehow, but i guarantee you it does make sense
make sure you count the pages right, and if you’re unsure note several ones.
The unlock doesn’t do anything before you get all chips first tho

>>715954154
I tried counting left and right pages as one page and 1 page turn = 1 page (both pages), problem is one method gets you an illustration (with words in it)

>>715954216
No, i am adamant its a 1 page= 1 page regardless of contents
Just post what it gives you and well see whats incorrect.

>>715954113
The Tomb has multiple solutions.

is this game more about logic puzzles or 'find a solution nearby'?

Blue Prince is the very definition of a game where the developer is so far up in his own ass, he doesn't realize he almost has made gold yet ends up making shit instead. With just couple small tweaks the game could be genuinely 10/10, yet now it barely makes the 6/10 cut. Few more QoL improvements, fixing few nonsense puzzles and NOT NERFING RNG MIGITATION would have allowed the game to earn the GOTY prize. Now it's still going to get the indie GOTY, but that's only because the dev is friends with journos.

>>715954529
It's about bending the RNG to your will so you can solve logic puzzles and find solutions nearby and also far away.

>>715954529
It's about making brainlets seethe and complain.

>>715954030
>has all the clues
>still fucks up the solution
go castle yourself

>>715954529
Have you heard of the puzzle where the bell rings 13 times? The puzzles are like that, combined with incredible amounts of padding to boost hours.

>>715954696
in fairness to him, getting the thing isnt hard, its making sense of it
i ended the game with 34 pages of notes but i couldn’t progress because one erajan word that appears twice, on a giant map and in room catalog wasnt noted anywhere.

>>715954331
if it makes sense when I have all 3 chips I will say sorry when we meet again

>>715954696
I told you I'm filtered

>>715954995
was it ett = east?

>>715954995
>i ended the game with 34 pages of notes but i couldn’t progress because one erajan word that appears twice, on a giant map and in room catalog wasnt noted anywhere.
That's me failing the exam because some tourist guidebook from 100 hours ago mentioned a place in Fenn which wasn't mentioned anywhere else.

>>715954996
> he routes looked north
Im sorry anon but none of these are correct.
Are you sure you know which book colours refer to which book
That or you somehow fucked up assigning numbers to the letters

>>715955368
is it not the pile of books with scrambled book names in the image

>>715955631
Yeah, i dont see how you’d unscramble them incorrectly, so i think you need to count the station numbers again.

>>715954529
It has a decent amount of logic style puzzles but a lot of the later stuff is anthropological and synthesising a bunch of esoteric hints that you don't even know are part of a puzzle into a solution. It'd decent up till the first ending. Then it has a problem of delineating what is a puzzle and what is not

>>715955769
oh I think I see, so it's not x=1, y=2, z=3, a=4, b=5, c=6, I thought it was just an order oh well puzzle ruined L O L

>>715950861 (OP)
it's weird how i both love and hate this game

>>715955769
>>715956015
oh my fucking god I already did this without the hint, this happens so often, fuck this game

>>715956286
lmao gotem

>>715956015
I frankly never considered anyone would do x=1, y=2, z=3, a=4, b=5, c=6, what is wrong with you anon lmao
>>715956286
That is still not fully correct, which is funny because it makes sense .. and that’s what you actually need to do, but the incorrect word refers to how you’re supposed to do it. Without it you’ll never get it

>>715951603
Entered Room 46 and rolled credits.
I took a couple of notes.

>>715956425
I didn't actually assign numbers to them I just did it in the order they were written

>>715954529
My log book says the average run is 1 hour 30m. You can't save and quit mid run without resetting.

>>715954694
then how come journalists and DSP love it
this is brainlet game
