If you cannot manage to complete the puzzle, it is likely that you have confused the positions of two very similar looking tiles. Now that two columns are completed, the remaining 5 tiles should be rearranged to solve the entire puzzle.Įvery puzzle box generated by the game can be solved. Tiles 17 and 22 can be solved in a similar fashion. It is easiest to just place tiles 16 and 21 on the right hand side of the bottom row and slide the remaining tiles clockwise.If you try to arrange the tiles too close to the left border, you may find it difficult to place the pieces next to each other in the correct order. Now, the board should look something like this after solving rows 1, 2, and 3.įrom now on, the puzzle should be solved in terms of vertical columns instead of rows. The same method can be used to solve rows 2 and 3. Now, the board should look something like this after sliding tiles 4 and 5 in the correct position. However, if your board looks like the one to the right, you can continue with these steps. Or, just make tile 5 sink a few lines lower in the puzzle, put tile 4 in the top right corner, and then move tile 5 back underneath tile 4. If this happens, you will have to move the tiles using this method to complete row 1. Occasionally, tile 4 will be stuck underneath tile 5.
Tile 5 should be directly underneath tile 4. One possible way to achieve this is to position the tiles like the image to the right. You should begin by placing tiles 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 in their correct position. We can use numbers to reference each tile.Ī solved puzzle will have all of the tiles ordered from left to right in each row with the empty space in the bottom right corner. Method for solving puzzles The image to the right is a solved puzzle. 7 belong exclusively to the treasure trails activity, 1 belongs exclusively to the Monkey Madness quest, and 1 3x3 puzzle belongs to the Quiet Before the Swarm quest.
If the player elects to pay Glough the 200K, he will solve the puzzle to the point where the player only needs to slide one piece.Ī puzzle-skipping ticket may be used to skip a puzzle box from Treasure Trails.Ĭurrently, there are nine puzzle box images to unscramble. Although this is not recommended, players may still do so if they find puzzle boxes particularly long and grueling. Only for the Monkey Madness quest, players have the option to 'bypass' the puzzle by paying Glough, in his words, a "small fee" of 200,000 coins (200K). If you would like to receive a different starting puzzle, destroy the box (not the clue) and ask the NPC for another or simply log off. Once the puzzle box is completed, players will need to talk to the NPC who gave the puzzle to receive the next clue or the reward.Īll puzzles, including the Monkey Madness puzzle, will rescramble if prematurely terminated even after completing the puzzle if you have yet to talk to the NPC. Puzzle boxes contain a scrambled image that players must work to unscramble by clicking on tiles to move them to an empty space. Occasionally, players will need to solve puzzle boxes for a level 3 or 4 clue in Treasure Trails or during the Monkey Madness or Quiet Before the Swarm quests. otherwise hopefully future questers will be able to find this thread on google.Īnyway the quest was really cool lorewise and very very interesting.Information on mechanics, setups, and tactics is on this page. if any wikian wants to add this tool to the Desperate Times guide and quick guide I think that would be very useful for future questers (esp those who are looking to speedrun the quest). Makes solving the puzzles very easy and is essentially an alt1-esque solver (don't think there is an actual alt1 puzzler for this quest). After trying to find the right wording for google searching (mostly found rubik's cubes solvers which may work but I was too tired to try and figure it out) I found this extremely useful tool to solve the puzzles in this quest:Īll you have to do is change the grid to a 3x3 and then assign colors to each box (make sure to leave one blank) and then map them to the shapes from the puzzle in game. I'm amazed there's nothing in the wiki's Desperate Times quick guide or any of the youtube guides on this but man these puzzles were really frustrating to brute force.
