[@effay9]

Fun fact: the reason the devs intentionally designed it so that you don’t need every laser to win is so that people who are deaf or colorblind can finish the game

[@OrchidAlloy]

You still need all lasers for the true ending so that's kind of an asshole move

[@fetterkeks2796]

Although you'd have no way of knowing that, for example, the sound area is based on sound in the first place. (with this area you'll probably get the clue that it's about color perception pretty fast). But it's definitely a step in the right direction.

[@royaloreo1275]

@@fetterkeks2796 there are speakers near sound puzzles, so there is a clue.

ROFL - You accidentally sequence-breaked the hell out of that elevator puzzle.

[@goodman5993]

How? I never seen anyone else play the game lol

[@notbob555]

@@goodman5993 I imagine you are supposed to go one floor at a time by solving the puzzle according to how it looks on each floor, but he very much misunderstood that somehow and assumed you are supposed to isolate a color to go to that floor.

[@yotamshitrit6820]

The normal way is complete nonsense. You need to solve each colored floor to go up to the next one, only the last one is broken so you need to actually gather what these would look like tinted from the first floor, memorize or write it down, and then solve it based on what you decoded.

[@Sintarzus]

Also, on the stream he solved last part of the elevator incorrectly, went all the way back and stuck for the next 20 minutes or so. Still solved by accident though.

[@Evan6610_]

Yotam Shitrit I’m pretty sure that’s not it, one of the floors has glass that you look up through, it changes the color of the puzzle and then you solve it like that, that’s how I did it.

[@SpoopyChicken]

Aliensrock: Uploads a vid of him doing normal puzzles. Me: This is good, But I like This > (Environmental puzzle marathon for 12 hours straight)

[@ludomine7746]

I disagree that that last one was bad. if the branch was connected to the tree, the two separate branches would line up with perspective. that's how it's been for all of the puzzles related to branches. your solution involved two branches overlapping, which is inconsistent with what the other puzzles taught.

[@gingermlg]

100% agree.

[@Str4ng3]

Exactly. It was a good puzzle.

[@codesymphony]

it didn't make sense that there were branches that lined up exactly with edges you don't travel on

[@notaidan4451]

I love how he literary cheeses the whole thing and completely skips how colors work in full

[@georgebrown1807]

As others have said, you made a lucky guess on the elevator puzzle. What's supposed to happen is that, on each floor, the colored lights give you a different puzzle on the same panel. If you solve the puzzle as it looks on any given floor, it will take you up to the next floor. However, when you get to the broken wire, it stays still even when you solve the puzzle correctly. You're supposed to use the information you've gleaned from looking at the panel in the different lights to figure out what the actual colors are and then figure out what color they would be if they were filtered through the light on the floor you couldn't reach.

I'm mad that you basically guessed your way through the elevator puzzle without getting it lol

[@codesymphony]

to be fair he solved in the most logical way it was presented

[@IAmUnderscore]

I’m mad how quickly he figured out that he had to look through the glass.

[@jodysgamingchannel9480]

Keep in mind how much he edits out for KZbin. It took longer on stream. I mean, not that much longer, he's still doing way better than I did, but still not quite as god-like as the edit makes it seem.

[@OrchidAlloy]

He's already used to perspective changing how the puzzles work

[@IAmUnderscore]

OrchidAlloy I know but when I played that part I took like over half an hour to get that. Granted, I was only 11.

[@tobybug779]

When I did this puzzle, I figured that out pretty quickly, but that was because I had done most of the Witness already and I was familiar with the arbitrary way the game does things. It's a steep learning curve, though, and I wasn't without outside help.

[@JaggerG]

@@IAmUnderscore It helped that I had already spent years thinking about and seeing lots of vids about game design. A ton of things in the environment are there for surprising reasons. This game is so artsy that I sort of expected to need to look at the colored roses for clues. So I looked through glass pretty quickly, too, but then I spent a lot of time examining the roses and learned nothing. It's kind of a double-edged skill. ;>.>

[@Kitana___]

Which is better: Witness or Turmoil? Witness for me

[@maxhaibara8828]

They're a fundamentally different games. One is puzzle game, one is strategy game. You can't really compare it. But I think The Witness is more unique, idea-wise.

[@babalitr]

same

[@strya27]

Yes

[@LorddirtGaming]

Definite agree that Witness is a really well made game, but I like Turmoil better as it's more my style of upgrade game.

[@Ze_eT]

@@maxhaibara8828 They are atleast unique at the parts where the game uses the enviroment, else it is just a basic draw-the-lines puzzle with some rules.

[@brennanruiz1803]

Whoever told me on the last video that I'd be upset with how he solved the elevator, you're goddamn right.

[@KamisKapi]

"imagine being colorblind"

[@enniokim1108]

Pepehands

[@Raoul1808.]

This game doesn't have an assist mode, so there are 2 sections so far you can't do if you're deaf or colorblind

[@pittagiiya]

The Witness: a puzzle game about drawing lines that requires you to not be deaf.

[@apoapsisrocketsupplies1063]

I'm only moderately colorblind and i have no idea what was going in in the first 10 minutes of the video

[@ascaiihd1472]

Same here, I kinda got along when there were different colors, but the stained glass just ended me 😂

[@NEDuck]

Damn, the elevator puzzle took me 2 hour to solved, and you solve it instantly.

[@vectoor91]

According to some other comments, it actually took him way longer on stream. These videos are edited to be briefer.

[@tremen151]

Vectoor he did solve it very fast by accident actually, but he went back to try and solve it the real way and that’s what took him longer

[@notaidan4451]

Tremen Music I don’t remember him going back, though might be my faulty memory lol. All I know is that he’s stupid

[@instantnoob]

I know its been 3 years but I think its hilarious that Tyler speedran the rainbowvater by being slightly colorblind and/or guessing that something might happen if he just ignored colors

[@rendrennan2294]

I love that you are able to make content that may not have the most views, but content that makes you happy. Keep up the good work!

[@TheJazombek]

I just realized, that the panel at 2:10 and the elevator panel are pretty much exactly the same... I don't think that's a coincidence. I wonder if you could angle yourself to see it via green glass, and if that could help figure the elevator part.

[@sabouedcleek611]

i think so, there are RGB panels respectively that you come across while playing which can see that panel

[@RodrigoTheHappyDog]

I can't believe you beat the colour greenhouse so quickly... that final puzzle took me over an hour of note taking and drawing to solve...

[@drewbramley3103]

Hell yeah! I'm playing The Witness at the same time as you, and this is one of the first areas that I had gotten around to before you did, so it was fun to see you uncover every little aspect and trick of the area ;-) Awesome content Tyler, keep up the awesome work :D

[@michaelrobertson714]

Entering the back side, you say? Sounds fun.

[@ValentineC137]

Tyler: solves puzzles where branches lead to eachother and never overlap also Tyler: 'this puzzle where branches dont overlap and lead to eachother is pretty dogshit'

Aww... The elevator is one of the best designed puzzles in the game. It took me a bunch of time but I felt so smart afterwards.

[@JecIsBec]

"I got stuck on retroactively the easiest puzzle in the game" *Gets stuck again*

[@FioreFire]

Even if you don't have to finish every area to finish the game, these areas that I couldn't do because I'm tone-deaf and color blind really soured my overall experience

[@clonefighter1996]

23:05 That's alot of "B E A M" cheers

[@quaternaryyy]

That last puzzle with the broken branch in the temple area is one of my least favorites... 🙈

[@nin10dorox]

He got soooooo lucky with the elevator part

[@osu_fishy]

7:52, gotta love when you do it wrong, but its right anyways.

[@mojorn8837]

At 15:40 the puzzle clue is missing a couple branches that lay broken on the ground inside the temple, just like the later puzzle.

[@AdeonWriter]

You blind luck'd out of solving the elevator color puzzle lol. that one's actually pretty tricky.

[@Henrix1998]

Are you constantly holding run button or why the positioning was so hard? I think you missed some color puzzles too

[@DisKorruptd]

no run button, it's only one speed for keyboard

[@jodysgamingchannel9480]

He skipped entire floors of the greenhouse, yeah. But unless he tries to max-count the puzzle score at the end, they weren't really needed.

[@HaloInverse]

@@DisKorruptd It's been a few years since I played The Witness, but there definitely _used to be_ a keyboard run button (not sure about now). I don't remember if it was Ctrl or Shift, but I remember my left pinky cramping up after a few days of playing - the "walk" speed was so damn slow, and getting around the island took so long, I basically held down the run key at all times, eventually without thinking about it. The game _might_ have have been changed since then to "always-run" or "push-to-walk", just as a quality-of-life feature.

[@golemguy1335]

I just realized how fast this could be turned into a horror game

[@Vertraic]

I can't believe you lucked into the elevator puzzle solution that fast... That puzzle is one of 3 that stopped me cold. Did other things, came back 2 years later and figured it out FAIRLY fast, but this was ridiculous:D

[@MrZakrencony]

you got so lucky with the elevator, it's so much harder to actually do it properly xD you accidentally solved them the correct way even though you got the puzzles wrong

[@syndere6755]

Every time you finish an area: Beeheeyayem

[@solo_741]

If I remember correctly, there is only one laser left!

[@nazemec]

Yep, the town is the last area. Well, "last", you know what I mean. :P

[@efari]

1 direct laser left. And also has to redirect that other laser still

[@nazemec]

@@efari Redirecting the desert laser shouldn't be a problem once in the town though. :P

[@jaybonn5973]

This is the hardest area in the game because it requires you to understand the relationship between light and color theory. The reason we can identify colors is because we only perceive them under white light, i.e. the combination of every color color the spectrum, of which the color that isn't absorbed is the one we see. But we can't really understand a world where white light doesn't exist so our labels for colors are nullified.

[@Xanderj89]

I mean really you can just do it by example, it gives you enough to be like "this plus this = this" just by experiment without needing to actually understand the mechanic of how it's adding or subtracting, you can just remember or list it out

[@Saandy_]

The tint elevator was the most frustrating part for me when I first played this game. I understood the mechanic quick enough, but the tint wasn't intuitive at all. I still consider this the hardest part of the game...

[@ascaiihd1472]

I am so happy and sad At the Same time that I found your channel now. Happy cause I at least found it and can be Part of the community now, sad cause the playthrough is still going on so I can't just bingewatch through it 😓

[@BaconNuke]

Welp.. guess he is proving that despite devs best intentions, sometimes you can skip a bit around.. to varying degrees of success (ie getting to backside of the Swamp/Tetrisland earlier in series but having to backtrack a bit) with.. skipping a chunk of the color rooms...

[@laytonspuzzle]

8:45 Solving this took me so long and you just fucking guessed it

[@LordBhorak]

19:30 Because if a branch is cut, there's no point in checking the ground first, because gravity isn't a thing in a game, where you can't jump. Logic 101. :)

[@LordBhorak]

And later... the fallen twigs are not able to flip, when they fall... That's unpossible. I feel ya.

[@pyk_]

Are you always holding down the run key? If you stop running when you are trying to align your view with something it will be much easier...
