Thank you so much, it worked! Onward to Labyrinth 5!

@The Alpha and Omega:
I've uploaded an update.
Now the cubes stay in the cave until the star has been collected.
It was a script error that I fixed.
The Alpha and Omega 5 Apr @ 6:22am 
May I have a clue as to how to trigger the boxes to appear in the cave or will I need to restart Labyrinth 4?

@The Alpha and Omega:
You need all the stars to activate the teleporter.
The Alpha and Omega 3 Apr @ 1:02am 
Thank you I found the items and got the star on the mountain but it looks like I'm blocked from getting the last star in the cave. I tried bringing boxes but can't get them though the invisible wall, and I tried restarting in the cave checkpoint but still no boxes. I checked the yt video and it's the first star collected while for me it's the last. Since I know the solution to the last star, can I proceed to Labyrinth 5? Or do I need to collect that star to proceed?

@The Alpha and Omega:
Look outside behind the castle. That's where you'll find the items.

Hi the puzzles are fun, but I think I might be stuck on Labyrinth 4. I got all 6 sigils and 4 stars and trying to get the last 2 stars, the one on the mountain and the one in the underground cave. I was able to get the fan and reach the bridges, but when I quit and reloaded the last checkpoint, the fan is now missing from where it was by the star. Also there are no boxes in the cave and I can't take any because of the invisible wall. Also, the teleport plasma wall by the green powerlight is has never turned on. Any clue where the fan is or the boxes in the cave? Some of the comments here are saying that the sigils need to be collected in a specific order or you get softlocked. Not sure if that happended with me, but I recall getting one of the sigils in a way that probably wasn't intended. Thank you.

@CTACSH1618:
I've been testing this for half a day now.
The level works perfectly.
The things are just sorted differently,
depending on how far you've progressed,
the next time you play.
SupremeCommanderThor 3 Jan @ 11:36am 
The last level is severely broken. I loaded my game, but the boxes and fan are missing entirely, unless they're on the upper cliff, but I can't get up there without the fan. I still have several sigils left to collect but there is nothing I can do without those items. I cannot even restart the level because the gate is locked until you get all the blue sigils. My only option is to restart the entire mod.

@darkgreenblue I didn't have to will or desire to keep going lol.
darkgreenblue 9 Dec, 2024 @ 11:39pm 
@CTACSH1618 I was thinking the same thing when I played it... The sheer amount of near-repetition is awfully tedious. I do love some of the stuff that comes later, but getting there is brutal.
SupremeCommanderThor 8 Dec, 2024 @ 10:45pm 
I find it hard to believe this was made by the same person who made the previous 3 Only Puzzle mods. There are so many strange design choices that really hurt the experience.

@Lasse Hölderlin:
In this case, you should have the installed files checked.
This is a folder from the developers.

Also, for the outer area of Labyrinth 6, I think they should have put an explanation somewhere, using a QR code or something, that even if the player went through the warp zone first to get to the next labyrinth, they can go back there later. The player does not know if they can go back or not.
rock-p 12 Feb, 2024 @ 6:06am 
Perhaps there is an order of obtaining the seals that the creator thought of, and if you get it wrong, you will get stuck in some situations (for example, Labyrinth 8).
Also, if you subscribe to Only puzzles 2, you can't normally enter the cave at the end of the cave you enter from the waterfall basin, such as labyrinth 8, or after you come out of the water, you fall to the bottom of the world and are sent to one of several destinations (for example, in a labyrinth). Even if you can enter the cave through the edge of the rock, the exit is blocked, and depending on the order in which the seals are acquired, you will be forced to restore the backup because there is neither a warp zone back to the labyrinth nor a box to make the warp zone appear.

@VelvetBlueEyes:
You're actually right about that. Because this game in particular is structured like this,
that you have to take everything with you before you go to the next level.
VelvetBlueEyes 15 Jan, 2024 @ 12:51am 
I replayed the game from the beginning and the boxes were there.

I suspect that my jumping the wall on the first castle and taking boxes outside the courtyard, then subsequently beating labyrinth 5 before finishing 4 may have caused the glitch previously.

VelvetBlueEyes 10 Jan, 2024 @ 11:32pm 
I totally did an alternate completion on labyrinth 5. I feel kinda dirty about it though. xD
VelvetBlueEyes 10 Jan, 2024 @ 11:31pm 
I love all your puzzles btw. Thank you a lot for all the hours of masochistic fun. :)
VelvetBlueEyes 10 Jan, 2024 @ 11:29pm 
thanks for the key locale. I assure you there are no boxes. I even tried taking one down with me. There was an invisible barrier. I solved Labyrinth 5 before coming back to 4. I wonder if I created a glitch.
ma.hirsch  [author] 10 Jan, 2024 @ 10:23pm 
@VelvetBlueEyes
If you are really in Labyrinth 4,
then there are 2 boxes down there.
Once you get the star, the portal will open.
The key is behind the recorder.

@VelvetBlueEyes
I have to watch the video first too.
I do not know it anymore.
VelvetBlueEyes 10 Jan, 2024 @ 9:40pm 
just watched the video... My game has no boxes in the underwater cave. any ideas? :/
ma.hirsch  [author] 10 Jan, 2024 @ 9:40pm 
@VelvetBlueEyes
For this I made videos for the solutions.
See description above. Good luck.
jarchambeault 4 Dec, 2023 @ 1:26pm 
Got it. Thanks!
ma.hirsch  [author] 4 Dec, 2023 @ 7:25am 
@jarchambeault:
Yes, the only way to get to Level 9 is through the terminal.
When you have completed the level, you will come back to the
terminal.
There you can play each level individually.
That's how it's intended.

@ma.hirsch
First off, thanks for the time to make these. It is alot of work and is very much appreciated.

I hit a strange problem at the end of Labyrinth 8 after I have all sigils and all 6 stars. I unlock the gate, enter 3 stars in the panel and step into the circle thingy and end up at the End, not at Labyrinth 9 like I expected. I've reloaded / restored a few times and it does it each time. Did I miss a step? I do have 3 leftover stars from L8 I never used, but your recordings show the same. I'm using the "new version" of only puzzles 4 if that matters.

The terminal at the end says I can replay L9 but I'll "lose my progress" which sounded ominous. But is that the way to go? It took me a while to get here and I didn't want to lose anything.
ma.hirsch  [author] 14 Aug, 2023 @ 11:10am 
@Violets are blue:
Thanks.
In this episode you have to complete 8 levels before you get to the terminal where you can select Favorite levels. You can then repeat this as often as you like.
Violets are blue 13 Aug, 2023 @ 10:34am 
What a great puzzle, havent finish yet, w5 take me days to finish. Just 1 question though, can i return to w6 later if i have already go to w7, there's still secret i havent done yet. thank again.
scavfan 2 Aug, 2023 @ 7:40pm 
There are some good puzzles in there, but it hardly makes up for how long it takes to get thru the repeating puzzles and having to carry items around for a long while, especially if you took the sigils in wrong order.

Also I think it's possible to skip stars on some occasions? But if you do, the next level won't be finishable without those stars, which seems like just another way to softlock... Seems to be designed to be played one way, and one way only.
scavfan 2 Aug, 2023 @ 7:37pm 
What a pain to play! Levels are pretty long and you can get softlocked if you don't take sigils in the intended order. If you reset at some point, the items may respawn in entirely different locations (convenient if you did the order right, inconvenient or softlock if you did the order wrong). Not much hints at the "correct" order of doing things, so you may have to restore backup and lose a lot of progress if you want to keep going. Levels must be taken in order as well, you don't unlock level select until nearly the end of the mod, and your progress in the level is wiped if you choose to revisit a level. Stars are mandatory to progress to every level which I find annoying, but with the lack of level hub maybe it's for the better? I'm not sure. Also there are really only 3 levels, other 6 are just edits of those levels (with some sigil solutions being completely unchanged as well). Feels like a waste of time when I'm doing the same exact thing 3rd time in the row...

Noticed this cheese in world 4 8 and 9 in puzzle "castle 2b" and here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60rUqoYI7hY

Thanks

Soon.
StarTheCat2003 23 Dec, 2022 @ 7:46am 
May I ask. Will a new map come out this year?
Exvi 10 Nov, 2022 @ 10:20pm 
Very difficult map with well designed individual puzzles at least for what my friend and I found in Labyrinth 1. However, you can't go to the next set of levels without getting every star in this first area. It's clear this map intends for you to not only get all the stars to progress, but get them in a certain order after we looked at the solution guide.
It's not obvious that getting the star on the column in Labyrinth 1 before entering Area 4 makes it so that boxes/fans/connectors spawn in Area 4 after a reset. We both assumed stars were bonus content like in most maps so we never got the star and had to bring out all the items after every reset. After getting the platform, everything was still locked inside Areas 1-3 but now extra gates appear which was even more annoying to go collect stuff again.
Please put that you need all stars to move on in the description.

@bridy23:
If you're playing in the modable version, try the normal version.
There may be a conflict with another map.
bridy23 19 Apr, 2022 @ 9:10am 
hi
I have a problem to the end of the labyrinth 6A; the game crash after using the replicator
what to do ?
Johker 24 Mar, 2022 @ 5:52am 
ma harish you like record thing because all levels has it
david.rs 11 Mar, 2022 @ 2:20am 
thanks,

I already understand the basement, I have to be the first, otherwise I won't get to this star.
ma.hirsch  [author] 9 Mar, 2022 @ 11:34am 
@david.rs:
You can definitely reach the stars. Check out the solution on my YouTube channel.
david.rs 9 Mar, 2022 @ 8:10am 
Thank you for a great game,
in 8th labyrinths, I think the portal to the underground puzzle is determined by 5 stars, the problem is that there are only 4 at the top and 2 at the bottom that cannot be reached.
bridy23 1 Mar, 2022 @ 2:41am 
I played before in modable version , since i play in normal version all is right with the problem of fan.
congratulations and thank you for that game
lir7 13 Feb, 2022 @ 7:18am 
@ma.hirsch That worked, thank you!
ma.hirsch  [author] 12 Feb, 2022 @ 12:17pm 
@lir7:
Get as close to the box as you can
then take her. That always works.
lir7 12 Feb, 2022 @ 4:19am 
I'm having problems in labyrinth 6 right at the end. It takes about 15 mins to set up so is very frustrating as I get on the second pile of boxes that the fan pushes over to the last walkway but when i turn around to take the top box to put on the last pressure plate I get pulled back over the edge onto the remaining, lower box and I can't jump back up on the ledge. I'm SO close. The video shows you picking up the box and carrying on so why am I being pulled over?
