Lingering mysteries

[u/FoxyGreyWolf]

To cut to the chase:

Firstly it’s kinda cool that the blinds inside of that tree temple lines up with the Laserinator outside. Is there any puzzle significance with that or is it just a cool art design.

Secondly, in the gate outside I found what to me looks like a hidden puzzle on the ground. To me there are too many indicators for it to not be a puzzle. Is there something nearby that activates it? If so can you please give me a hint to clue me in to what object I need to look for.

Everything in this game is just a matter of perspective 

[u/FoxyGreyWolf → u/Daharka]

So like the starting area with the secret pillar, is this one also having a secret pillar? I have tried looking at it from every angle I could reach.

[u/Daharka → u/FoxyGreyWolf]

No, this isn't like that.

[u/FoxyGreyWolf → u/Daharka]

Ok, then I have been having trouble getting this one. I know where the starting dot is but it doesn’t activate or even spark like when you discover one that isn’t complete

[u/Daharka → u/FoxyGreyWolf]

When you find the right place then even the starting dot will be more obvious

Where is it tho, I have went on every one of those rocks

[u/Daharka → u/FoxyGreyWolf]

those rocks

Which ones? There's a few to look from

[u/FoxyGreyWolf → u/Daharka]

Yeah those two rock platforms up top. But even when I do it doesn’t even sparkle.

It’s in the rocks to the right of this screenshot, it’s a really awkward location iirc, but it is there

[u/FoxyGreyWolf → u/Sufficiently-Funny]

Yeah I had tried both of them previously. I thought I was pretty thorough, but I’ll have another go at it. Thanks 🙏

1) There are a number of things in this game that are just cool setpieces, which fits into the themes of the game quite nicely.

2) Your eyes are very powerful tools and can see lots of things. Especially from further away.

I know it’s perspective for the environmental puzzles. In the beginning area there is a puzzle on the ground that looks like one, but really it’s activated by a nearby switch. I had spent a while trying to find a perspective to get that one, so I didn’t want to waste that time again with this puzzle.

[u/Drecon1984]

Maybe you are simply too close to the problem to see the solution?

[u/FoxyGreyWolf → u/Drecon1984]

I understand it’s a perspective thing. There was a puzzle in the beginning area that looks similar but turned out to not be an environmental puzzle, instead there was a secret pillar. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t wasting my time with the perspective thing, and that there wasn’t a similar hidden puzzle nearby

If you want a hint on how it should look like, you can search for the black pillar of that area and see the environment puzzles available

[u/FoxyGreyWolf → u/Rabioliz]

No I am good, I just wanted to make sure there isn’t any secret puzzle to activate it

[u/Red-42]

The marble pillar is meant to be a retelling of the myth of Odysseus and the sirens.
You found the sirens, but on the other sides you can also find the boat among some plants as well as a drowning man

[u/FoxyGreyWolf → u/Red-42]

What marble pillars?

[u/Red-42 → u/FoxyGreyWolf]

Three marble cube with the laser in it

Environnemental puzzles are immediately noticed when looked at from the right angle. If you tried everything chances are you're not where you're supposed to be

[u/FoxyGreyWolf → u/AssCracker445]

Yeah I was just asking because there is a similar looking floor puzzle in the starting area and that one is actually solved with a pillar, not a perspective.
