You can't randomly corpses wildly in elden ring. In that it is beaten by both skyrim and dark souls

to think that a master of 3d picross and all the picross e games could be defeated by a mere 15x15 puzzle...



Can any of the games chat picross masters figure out the next logical step?!! I had to look up the completed puzzle

You can marry in skyrim but not in elden ring

Getting married sounds lame so Elden Ring has the upper hand here imo.

I really like FFXIV but if it hasn't full-on grabbed you by Heavensward it's pretty safe to tap out, assuming you were interested enough to get to Heavensward in the first place. I saw another poster say that they didn't really care about the Scions or other allied NPCs as characters until Shadowbringers and I can definitely say I mostly agree with that (with minor exceptions, Alphinaud, Estinien, and Ysale make strong impressions in Heavensward IMO) but I was still invested in the general plot enough that I wanted to keep going

I had no idea P3 and P4 released so close together. How are we still on P5 15 years later (other than the obvious reasons)?

That is some bullshit. I'm not sure a logical next step even exists, but I can't find it. It looks like you have to map out every possible combination of blocks to find the answer.

You can X out the bottom right corner, which would get you.. slightly forward. And the one above that - bottom right and bottom right up1.

Sometimes when you hit these you have to start using the corners as anchor points, place a whole block there and see if anything is impossible - in this case if the bottom right was 4up, then bottom-right 1left column would end up conflicting with the third row from the bottom (the 4up would place a block at the far side of row -3, but would also force a 3up from the column to the left, which would mean that row-3 would end in a 2, but that row demands ending in a 1)

similarly, you can fill in an x in the bottom left (after the 3), because if that one was filled, so would the one next to it, and both would go up to the next row which would then have a 2 where only a 1 is allowed

I went through this writing up a whole bunch of poo poo on what to do next and then I got to a point where even that didn't work.

My initial thought was to go try any square that has 2 finished sides, so the corners. By filling in those spots based on the assumption that those spots are correct, you can eventually hit a point where you have a contradiction. Then you can go back to that starting square and x it out.

I was able to do this enough that I was able to mark down a lot of different squares and fill in a lot more but then I just kept hitting points in every possible area that gave impossible answers.

I figured I must have done it wrong, just messed up somewhere, so I went to a couple different picross solvers, punched in the data, and wouldn't you know it, even they couldn't solve it. They both spat out an unfinished picross that stopped at the exact same point you did. I got farther than the bots did but I had to have messed up somewhere because I couldn't get the actual answer down. Maybe if you could try that method yourself, filling in from assumptions at 2-walled panels, you might have better luck.

My major problem that I bring up a lot is that it’s the gameplay that bums me out, it’s 90% travelling between quest markers / cutscenes, it’s bad video gaming. I like the story, I want to know what happens next, the “the story gets better after XXX” arguments don’t affect me because I’m already enjoying it, but each time I step back and look at what I’m doing, yeah it’s uninteresting busywork and I doubt that gets much better

However, my favourite moment so far, the new cape westwind fight, did successfully meld gameplay and story in a really satisfying way, I felt what my character felt, and because of its newness I do have hopes that the more recent stuff is about as good

Do Persona and Persona 2 still hold up out of curiosity? It feels like P3 was the point where the series really became what it is today

Also does P5 have any story connection (however minor) to its predecessors? I’ve only seen the anime version which just provided the bare story essentials

One thing researching my YOTG post taught me is that we used to crank games out

Thank you for the Picross tips

I wonder if that kind of advanced stuff was intended since it's the final set of secret puzzles or if it was just an oversight. There are some other later puzzles where I had gotten lazy and made guesses but this is the first one I'd seen which seemed actually unsolvable with the regular logic

If you do decide to try out persona 1, 2, and 2, I also recommend giving Shin Megami Tensei IF a look because that game is a sort of proto-Persona.
