Hero Power!

[@HysteriAHS]

First of all I did not find or complete any of these puzzles by my self, tons of people alot smarter than me have been working on figuring this out! The cards needed to activate the puzzles were hidden in the flavor text of Forged in Barrens legendaries playing those cards in the same turn activated that specific puzzle In the first one you need to set the combination (attack) off all locks to 4 and then press hero power In the Second one you need to move the board over to the other side but while doing it you cant have more quilboars than orcs on the same side. You also cant send more than 2 minions over at the same time and the caravan cant be sent by itself The third one is a grid maze hitting the middle door moves you forward, hitting the left door turns you to the left and hitting the right door turns you to the right. If the middle is immune it means there's a wall there. Goal is to exit the maze. Someone linked the map of the solved maze earlier: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1btNl5Wog21iDsUH579sRNC5TYLboEpibyaXMR0N_66Y/edit#gid=0 Fourth one is started with 10 gold and you can trade it for several items, Those items can then trade aswell. The puzzle is completed by getting back to only having 10 gold in hand.

[@gammaknife167]

That's actually really impressive and very interesting, thanks for this!

[@felcakes2153]

Without the context of this explanation this whole video seems like you just have to hit a random sequence of cards, nice

[@dajusta87]

This is crazy! Should be a much higher reward !!

[@TheOneAboveAll_1985]

I have solve 3 Puzzles but the hunter one is near impossible for a mobile gamer.

[@AurelShen]

1 note : you have to play only those cards the turn you activate

[@gammaknife167]

But... why? Knowing what to do is one thing, but I want to know why these seemingly random things work...

[@Bobal27]

Regis Killbin has a good 3 part video on all four parts, explaining why (for the most part). The three doors are a maze, navigating by turning right or left (or right three times instead of left) and moving forward. The trading sequence is to sell everyone down below everything they need, and the orcs, caravan, and quillboar puzzle is a take on the old chickens, foxes, and boat puzzle, sometimes called the sheep and wolf puzzle.

[@vovablood]

Look at the pinned comment

[@Bobal27]

[@dannyshevchuk6283]

The proof is left as an exercise to the reader.

[@gammaknife167]

@@dannyshevchuk6283 Found the mathematician :)

[@LucasDenhof]

I'm not sure about the rest but the second one with the orcs and quillboars is a real puzzle I recognize: the river crossing riddle. The idea is that 2 parties are trying to cross the river but basically there should not be a majority or one group will gang up on another. The caravan in this case is the boat where you bring 2 to the other side but 1 has to bring the boat back to the starting side

[@lamboronald489]

Yeah, what about the other ones? They make no sense to me

[@Azcorban]

@@lamboronald489 the first one ist just a lock riddle, where all locks need to show 4 Third one is a maze riddle where you need to navigate through a maze via "right" and "forward" commands Fourth one is one of those "trade your spices" text games but in Hearthstone

I’m glad it’s just a card back I didn’t need, instead of a Legendary card or Hero Skin that would make me waste 40+ minutes to wanna get.

Thank you so much HysteriA for including the instructions in the description! Being able to highlight each step as I go for the fourth puzzle was really helpful. :)

[@user-eb4rf9vw9g]

I guess the rogue puzzle is related to the ship in barrens in wow, where you can find a room with many chests that you can open as a rogue to improve your lock picking

I recomend you putting wandmaker to your deck and hoping to get yoink!, it may take a few tryes but it worked for me

Why Hearthstone must you make ridiculously hard puzzles that .01% will do until a video comes out to which that will increase to .1%

[@thelastdankbender4353]

The question is, why not?

[@Otto42]

These were made as a secret, and intentionally were difficult and not explained, so that the community would need to come together to figure them out. People have been collaborating on discord to figure them out for a few days now.

[@MoneyMiner9]

@@Otto42 maybe I’m not “deep” into the community then because there isn’t really a meeting place that i know of

[@YTSliv]

Wish they just have a button hidden in specific card's favor text or credit, and add minimal functional instructions on puzzle. instead of a virtually arbitrary sequence of trigger.

[@DenkiRay]

Feels like WoW all over again with their secret events that can take months to solve.

[@bunras]

by the way I did the first one with a bunch of discover spell lackeys and other minions that discover spells, because I'm not wasting my essence on yoink

[@perheriita2723]

I wonder how they managed to find out about this in the first place. Data mining?

[@savkorlev]

Yep. Since for some of them you also need to reduce the cost of cards, I'm pretty convinced that people figured out the solution by data mining

[@TheHolajz]

WOWsecrets discord with 180k members was searching for it. The spells you needed to play were from flavor texts of the 4 mercenaries: rogue, warrior, druid and hunter. It was hidden behind a riddle. Someone from china pointed out that the exact spells you needed to play were in mandarin's flavor text, if you weren't able to figure it out yourself in your language. All puzzles were pretty straight forward with a simple brute forced python script, nothing too fancy like some graph theory or using search algorithms.

[@Felesio12]

The card texts of the mercenaries (Guff, Rokara, etc...) give you the cards to play and the order to unlock the puzzle ;)

[@RedRamDRA]

Sure you gotta do all those things... but why - I mean, is there a logic behind the stats/numbers, or is it just wild trial and error (for 1 and 3)?

[@OP_Magikarp]

the flavour texts for the mercenaries from those 4 classes. when it comes to solving it someone mentioned data mining which would make sense

[@irie4396]

is there any logic behind?

[@letouillette8038]

The Warrior : the caravan can take one or two passengers, of there's more quilboards than others on a side after the change, they attack, if they are less or the same number, they stand still, you want to make everyone on the other line The Rogue : you have locks, you have to hit them in the right order to make them all showing the right number The Druid : it's a maze, hitting left makes you turn 90° left, hitting right makes you turn 90° right, hitting middle makes you go forward. If middle is not vulnerable, you're facing a wall. You don't have the map of course. The Hunter : you have minions trading and selling things (up) or buying things (down) you have to buy and sell stuff until you get back the exact 10 golds you had in the first place. To find the cards you have to play in order to access the challenges, 4 legendaries cards have a quotation as ambience text, one hunter, one warrior, one druid and one rogue, it leads to the cards you have to play.

A big congratulations to all the people that made this achievement possible, but personally i'm giving it a pass.

It's something that's going to take you 30m at best to complete, while you literally copy the steps without knowing why you're doing that exact movement. Sure, Lockpicking Lawyer could probably do this within a minute, but we're just mere mortals.
