supertrunksman Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Anyone know where the certain challenge is located on the island? Curious to see how tough it is. If I'm not mistaken, it's missable, but located within the first 5 minutes of the game. Spoiler---->Pure guess, as I've not seen confirmation of the trophy, but I assume it has to do with the secret ending in the first area.<----Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrickenBiged Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Judging from the trophy icon I'm going to hazard a guess and say it's underground somewhere. Also, given that the image is of a record player with speakers, I'm going to hazard another guess that it might have something to do with the audio recordings around the island? At least one person on PSN has it (check the trophy list on your PS4), but no-one on PSNP yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr-DVD Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 It is definitely underground, because I saw it, but I don't know how to reach it. It is at the beginning of the game where you have to open the first big gate. You can connect the sun with the white line around the gate. After you've done that, another entrance appears. Now follow the new path and you should eventually come to a cave-like environment where you can see the record player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashtur Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 The Challenge is an underground puzzle area deep within the mountain, near the very end. It can be seen briefly in the easter egg ending, because of a short cave segment that is located above it. To get the trophy you must first be able to access the Challenge cave beneath the mountain, and THEN solve its panels, which are considered the most difficult of the game.

cybershark91 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I bet it has something to do with the stone pillars. You know, those with the glowing symbols you achieve if you solve puzzles in the environment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yashtur Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Nope. Overall, there are eleven lasers, twelve triangle panels and six theatre panels. The stone pillars are filled by solving environmental puzzles, and once completed become white. Every save file records in its title the number of panels completed (X), plus the marks on the pillars found (Y), plus the pillars whitened (Z). Thus: X, +Y, +Z. Both the theatre panels and the pillars are purely collectables according to current findings, they're not linked with anything else. Without spoiling anything, to reach the endgame you must have seven lasers, to reach the Challenge you must have all the eleven. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you please be more specific about where this Challenge cave is? I've already activated all 11 lasers and completed the game, but didn't find this cave.

yashtur Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Is endgame a point of no return? Yes, after the ending scene the game starts anew (no new game plus). Fortunately, the game autosaves close to the endgame so that you can always load your previous play. Can you please be more specific about where this Challenge cave is? I've already activated all 11 lasers and completed the game, but didn't find this cave. When all 11 lasers are activated, look at the bottom of the box that the two statues on the top of the mountain are holding.

I believe it's impossible to look under the box before you solve the puzzle with the statues Good luck with that, one of the hardest puzzles in the game imo Edited January 28, 2016 by Wowee-Zowee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you actually "complete" the game. I mostly want to know so that I don't accidentally complete it before I get that challenge completed.

neluba5 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) I just solved the statue puzzle with the triangles. It was pretty easy after I've read a tip on reddit about how triangles work. But what did the puzzle do? I can't find anything. edit: But I hear something moving when I press the button in front of the doubles doors. Something that closes after the two panels. It that it? edit2: Alright. I had to solve the puzzle again, because the entrance closes after a few seconds.

szymon0429 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Is there anyone who solved all the puzzles inside the mountain ? I mean those which you unlock after solving the puzzle with the triangles ? I solved about 15 and I'm stuck so if anyone could help I would be thankful.

I've solved just over 20 of them now, looks like about 20 left, unless I'm not seeing them all in this portion of the cave.

DeathLung217 Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) The quote option won't work, but Yashtur, When you say 12 triangle panels, do you mean those little hidden panels tucked into corners or off beaten paths with the orange triangles on them, that so far seemingly do nothing other make you feel accomplished you found one? That's what I was thinking first but the way you said "bloody triangles" in response to someone talking about the Challenge makes me think "12 triangle panels" has something to do with the ending challenge, which is fine and in which case I don't wanna know, but that would mean I'm back at square one in finding what those things do haha.. If that WAS what you were referring to, a simple yes will do, I don't wanna be spoiled if they actually do have some use later on. I think I got about 6 so far.

The triangle panels found scattered around the island can be thought of as some sort of introduction to that symbol's rules. None is required to be solved actually, but the Challenge will use them extensively so that you must know how they work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
