Are these puzzles dumb?

mgdorsey · 06-03-2001, 10:57 PM

Is it me or are there no clues to solve puzzles in this game? I'm in the serpent temple and could find no clues to how to solve the puzzle of the six doors- the last thing i was to do is trial and error - the game should give you a chance to solve it more intelligently. Puzzles in this game have no logic to them.

you got the serpent coins?

If you really wnat the combinations, the Ironworks main W&W site has a walkthrough with the right sequence.

Sazerac · 06-03-2001, 11:11 PM

The clue is:

1 door is opened with one latch
2 doors are opened with two latches
3 doors are opened with three latches.

An additional clue: all but one door combination uses the same latch.

If you want to be spoiled, scroll down:

I guess what I'm really annoyed about is the fact that it is trial and error in the first place. There should be clues somewhere.

That's one of the FEW annoying things I've found in the games...
I hate "trial-and-error" puzzles...

Give me logical puzzles everytime...

This kind of puzzles is really annoying!
When I was standing there pushing all those levers, throwing serpent coins and trying to figure out the right combinations I felt exactly as monkey in the circus!

you know.... it DID reminded me of those 'claw' machines that you use the claw to retrieve a stuffed prize but you have to keep feeding it until you get it right or you'll wind up with a wrong toy!
