GB58 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 So I was going to start the Meteor base puzzle, when I noticed that both of my boards had a duplicate number. I was thinking that maybe is was supposed to be like that, but then I also noticed that each board was missing the same number that the other board had a duplicate of (if that makes sense). So I just wanted to make sure that the puzzle was correct for me, before I spend the next hour on this lol. Also, I'm not sure if we're supposed to be able to rotate the tiles horizontally, but I can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcv Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Spoiler You can move the numbers between boards. Not sure what you mean by rotate horizontally. You can move the rows however. Use the console in the middle for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler After you liberate a certain city from Team Meteor a woman in the building next to the Pokemon Center will want a password. When you accept her side-quest go back to the Team Meteor HQ Spoiler Devon Corp. You'll be able to use the Meteor ID to open a new area which will contain the puzzle. Its really daunting at first, but much easier than it appears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler I managed to solve one of the 3x3 grids, and one row of the other but I'm struggling to progress further and I'm not sure my strategy is sound. Do you have any tips on how to approach this puzzle? Should I be solving rows or columns, working up or down, etc.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any tips on how to approach this puzzle? Should I be solving rows or columns, working up or down, etc.? Spoiler I like to work down personally. I started with the left puzzle, solved the top row, then the middle, then the bottom. From there I moved to the other side and solved the top, then most of the middle (had to leave off one block until he bottom was mostly done.) Once you have the left side solved you'll want to move slowly, making sure not to displace those numbers up or down (left or right is fine since you can just shift them back when its time to set them back in place. If you've managed to solve as much as you have then the hardest part is behind you, and the rest is just patience. Take it slow and pay careful attention before you shift things so you don't accidentally throw off what is correct. I assume you already know your solution, but when I did it I wrote down what the solution I was working toward and then followed that specifically to ensure it wouldn't violate any rules.

Or you can solve by rows and accidentally solve it while trying to get the last row into position like I did.

Spoiler I got everything but 2 squares that just need to be switched with each other, but I'm hitting a wall. I'll give it another shot once I've had some rest.

Thanks for the advice Spoiler From there you are probably going to need to fiddle with all three squares on that column/row (depending on which ones are mixed up. Get them all in the right order and then just move them into position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante52 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Spoiler Rather than post this puzzle again, thought I'd jump in here. I think I'd have it solved if I could get that bottom row to be 8, 3, 4 instead of 4,8,3. Does anybody have any tips for swapping these around without screwing everything up? Like the actual algorithmic steps would be amazing (like with a Rubik's cube), but any help is much appreciated... My brain is not enjoying this puzzle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAGGYSmurf Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Spoiler Yeah, this puzzle. I never liked rubik's cube. This is pretty much a 2D version of it, isn't? I hate that cube. This is the only type of puzzle I've come across in my life that I never enjoyed. It will be, by far, the hardest puzzle I'm ever going to have to do. Too sleepy and tired to keep going. I got two rows and gave up. Shame on me. Maybe I can watch a tutorial later on rubik's cubes and apply it here. You guys think it will help?

Ok ok. I see. Take advantage of the columns since you get more control. It makes sense. Instead of seen it as two different puzzles dependent on each other, see it as one big 6x3 puzzle. I guess I've deprived myself from sleep quite some time. I'll give it another go once I get some zzz's. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHAGGYSmurf Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Spoiler So that was a lot easier than I thought. Must have been the lack of sleep. Indeed, like Dante said, solving by columns saves lives. Thanks LeoYT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will know when it is finished, as it randomizes the numbers and leaves some of them red. Then three useful items will near the computers. For those who want to know, it's in the spoiler tag: Spoiler Darkinium-Z, Thunderbolt, Gardevoirite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
