[OUTDATED, READ DESCRIPTION] Isles of Sea and Sky - Shoal% glitchless in just under

[@RasisTheValkyria]

UPDATE: This island has been reworked in the 1.2 update. The solution in this video is now obsolete. However, a future rendition of this puzzle will return in a new area someday, according to the dev.

Since Eastern Shoal was reworked in the 1.2 update, this comment is now obsolete. But, if you're still curious about the solution to the previous rendition of the Eastern Shoal puzzle, read on ahead. The solution is random but is entirely dependent on the position of the boxes in Stoney Cliff B-3, which is 7:47 in the video. You can compare the positions of the boxes in that timestamp and the final result. One thing though: the 2nd blue box is a red herring, so you just get rid of it by pushing it into the water.

I didn’t get rid of the third box and it still works.

[@TheThinKing]

hey so what is the new solution? I broke the crystal ball thing so I hope I'm not softlocked. idk if I have to try from the east this time

[@vadimdobkin2603]

this is definitely one of the puzzles indeed

[@Jojoponz]

i came looking for the solution to that puzzle, wtf is that, anyways cool speedrun

[@RasisTheValkyria]

Thanks! This was a pretty ok-ish speedrun for my standards. I mainly lost time due to not using reset strats and being on inferior hardware.

[@Jojoponz]

i just came back and now i noticed that i have missed another star, do you happen to know any other bullshit star?

[@RasisTheValkyria]

This is the only Certain Kind of star that I'm aware of. I'd say some secret stars are hard to find but at the very least they're a secret, and not some unfair puzzle like this one. The rest of the hardest stars are purely execution based.

[@Jojoponz]

@@RasisTheValkyria i have all the hard stars im pretty sure, i must have missed one of the secret path stars

[@RasisTheValkyria]

I've gotten all the secret stars for this game but it has been a while so I might not be able to help you which secret stars you're missing. As always, you're always welcome to ask for help on the Steam Community Hub for this game, or in the Isles of Sea and Sky discord server (should be pinned in the discussion forums there).

​​@@Jojoponzthe snakes on the ui (the black bar with the items) have red eyes when theres a secret in the room

[@Jojoponz]

@@romadimitrishen6262 yeah i knew, i just didnt wanna to go check all the rooms, fortunately i eventually found it

[@einootspork]

Wow, the lag in the god area is horrible. I hope that's just because you're recording, because otherwise I have no idea how you can stand to play the game

[@RasisTheValkyria]

The joys of gaming on a 10+ year old laptop :^) (btw it is just as bad as not recording gameplay footage) I assure you, any modern laptop that has a decent enough iGPU will handle the god areas fine.
