![]() LEFT, RIGHT, BOTTOM, BACK, BACK, BOTTOM, FRONT Or, more accurately, think back to elementary school and learning the order of rainbow colors: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet, aka ROYGBIV!Īrmed with that knowledge, solving the puzzle is a snap… or you could just follow the following instructions: Once you have access to the bottom and understand the puzzle’s clue, you can solve this puzzle by playing with the color or the sphere.īased on the inscription, it’s clear that the sphere needs to start out crimson (or red) and end as violet, but simply removing the sphere from the left side and returning it via the left side doesn’t do anything special. Normally, playing with the sphere allows you to pass it through 4 different openings, but there is a fifth “bottom” access point that is only available once you’ve examined the pyramid’s frame more closely and passed the Perception check there. ![]() This is key to figuring out the solution, but as far as I can tell it isn’t required if you’ve just looked it up elsewhere (naughty, naughty). Upon success, you uncover the following inscription: This being Torment, there are some opportunities to flex your stat pools a bit to get some help, one being required for completion, and the other necessary to understand how the puzzle works.īy examining the base of the pyramid, you can attempt to decipher the meaning of the strange writing on the device. Depending on which side of the pyramid you extricate and restore the sphere through, the sphere will change color. How you access these options is up to you:īasically, you want to find some way of removing the Silver Sphere from its “prison”, but every time you try to do so, it magically returns home. ![]() This might be tricky to remember as you’re doing it (I wrote it out in Notepad++ while playing), and isn’t going to automatically give away the puzzle’s solution, so I present it here for easy reference. This puzzle will require selecting from a specific series of directions in order, based on whether you are removing or returning the sphere to its home. What follows is a breakdown of this (admittedly simple) puzzle, in 3 parts:Īs for the reward waiting for you at the end, that’s for you to find out (SPOILER ALERT: it’s ok). There’s also nothing that I found in the game world that hinted at this puzzle’s solution, forcing me to come up with the solution somewhat more organically. Now, clearly this is a Numenéra, and that means you gots to mess with it, but unlike everything you’ve probably encountered up until this point, this puzzle can’t be solved by simply throwing Effort at it. During the course of your exploration of this building, you will likely run across a mysterious interactible pyramid object that contains a Silver Sphere. You may even end up here as part of the main story path you choose. ![]() ![]() That being said, if you find yourself legitimately struggling with something, there’s no shame in seeking help just don’t go out of your way to spoil the “best path” or something like that.Īnyways, on to one of my Torment Tips! Well, this may be the only tip I end up giving, so… Torment Tip(s), yeah.Įarly on you should come across a location known as the Order of Truth. It’s just so much fun uncovering these mysteries on your own, consequences be damned, and it feels so much more in keeping with the Torment series’ themes of self-discovery and bewilderment. One thing I really can’t recommend enough though: DO NOT LOOK AT GUIDES FOR THIS GAME! So rather than go silent on Day 2 of “Me Trying Not To Be a Lazy Bastard”, I figured I’d share some tips on a puzzle I ran across relatively early on. I’m still bracing myself for some form of disappointment, but so far this game is everything I could possibly want. I had intended to do something resembling actual work today but instead found myself gabbing away with the wacky denizens of Sagus Cliffs all damn day.
