stan18 Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Tip.It staff note: This guide has been copied to the Archive of Wisdom http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=561080 This original topic is for replies to the author and discussion. Do you dread getting clues because of the thought of Puzzle Boxes? Does hearing "Bentnose" give you nightmares? Well, you've come to the right place! Here, you can find out how to complete and conquer your nightmares(of puzzleboxes, anyways...) and learn the techniques of doing the puzzle box. The first step is to face your fears! Go up to your maker and tell them your not afraid of them. Then, demand the puzzle box! Of course, being assertive and brave to your problem isn't going to fix it(may that be a lesson in life for you). So thats where i come in. After receiving the box from whomever, look at it. "Wow, what a mess. How am i gonna fix this?" you say... By thinking rationally of course Start off by doing these first four pieces: Heres something to remember: even if a piece looks like its in the right place, move it if its in the way Then, try to get the piece thats supposed to fit in the topright corner in the right place. Most likely, it will not fit and look like this: If not, then you have gotten lucky. But that sure doesn't mean you get to walk off! Do the next row. If you've gotten lucky again... then...... Anyways, this is where the Technique comes in. I have taken 3 minutes of my life to label and number them(you're welcome). Here is a pic that contains everything you need to know: YAY! You have gotten the toprightcorner piece in! Give yourself a pat on the back. Now try to memorize this technique, cause you're gonna need it later Now, rinse and repeat two more times for the next two rows, which should end up like this: [hide=Here is a different representation of the technique] The technique above is a longer version of the version I am about to show. This technique, simply, slides the two pieces in, together. They have to be together. Otherwise, they won't go in. Here is your target: ^^^^^You want to move the lower piece (in magenta) so that it is under the upper magenta piece, that is your goal. It should look like this (ignore the arrows for now) VVVVVVV You follow the arrows now, and it'll end up like VVVVVV Summary What you want: What you're looking for: OR What you want: What you're looking for: The same can be applied for the LAST ROW Here it is, with arrows: Summary: You want to move the pieces so that one piece is one spot away from where it should be (above, it would be the yellow) while you place the piece next to it, literally, next to it(the blue) so that they can both move in together (how sweet...) [/hide] Now, you have 2 rows. But as you look at it, you notice there is not enough room to do the technique! :cry: for all those who didnt notice, the technique uses 3 rows, horizontally BUT, there are more then enough rows going vertically. So, you must use the technique for the remaining 9 pieces technically 6, cause the last 3 don't need it . Check the end of my "different representation" to see another way to do the final two rows If all goes well, then the last 3 pieces should fit in automatically(or with a few clicks). If not, you messed up somewhere. To check if you did it right, this is what the puzzle box looks like when its done: or if you went to the examiner: and last: If you need the monkey madness quest, then this is it: Remember that the crate next to the panel has "spare controls" that let you view the final result Congrats! You have completed the puzzle box! Give yourself a pat on the back. My tip is to practice the technique multiple times so that you move the pieces the right way every time My Thanks to: The greater demon that droped the clue general bentnose for giving me the box My law rune, for giving its life so just i could get to falador quicky My computer, for crashing and losing a bunch of pics and Finally, Drunken dwarf for giving me some free beer All comments/suggestions/deaththreats welcome VIDEO >>Vid<< (rapidshare) >>VID (megaupload) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crystak Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 hmm.. I just tried that today and I still can;t do it.... I wonder if it's worth it... I mean is there any chance of getting god armor or rune (t) before this puzzle box I had to go 2 times in the wild... and kill that wizz... I hope it's worth it and I'll try again later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
