The editing for the blind dice was so smooth though, you could barely notice they were blind after being sine waved

[@Zaladris]

Is this what Tyler sees when he does puzzle games?

[@guilhermeclaudino509]

Kinda cool ngl

[@KayraWasTaken]

@@Zaladris nope. the editor did it :)

[@ComedicalBystander]

@@KayraWasTaken pretty sure they meant if that's how he visualizes things in his head when doing puzzles, not what he physically sees

[@Swagpion]

Until the dice moved and they gave up on editing.

[@drunkshinx]

You could deduce that in the blind puzzle you have to start with a 6 because at the end you need 3 2s which adds to 6 and none of the equipment increases the total value of your dice

[@jackeea_]

That's so obvious and I'm absolutely kicking myself for not coming up with it, nice 🧠

[@maadneet]

If you want more puzzles, the Halloween Episode has a set of puzzles for the Witch as well, though it focuses more on the spellbook than this one

[@chrishawkins963]

this is probably a plus for him cause he seemed to enjoy the spellbook aspect of witch when he played her episodes.

[@vivi_danew]

Really cool idea for an episode that both challenges the player's knowledge and teaches them exactly how some mechanics interact. Always a good sign when devs have this level of knowledge about their own game

[@3thanguy7]

fun fact: there are a whole set of different puzzles, and you just get dealt a random selection of them also the other witch puzzle one is in the halloween episode

[@DrGandW]

Yeah he didn’t get my favorite puzzle, the one with the Dandelion and Doppeldice that makes you use Mana

This was one of the first times where before each puzzle I paused and tried to find the solution. Normally I just love to watch your videos because of your entertainment and just general enjoyment of watching you play games, today I finally came for the puzzles. Would definitely like to see the other witch puzzle

[@dcmonster002]

I was just about to comment that too lol

[@goseigentwitch3105]

The secret to the single blind 6-die is that all of the options don't change the total that all your dice add up to and you need to have 3 2s at the end, so you have to have started with a 6.

[@sekoia2812]

That's clever, great solution!

[@G.Aaron.Fisher]

The key with the blind puzzle is to realize that all of the equipment preserves total pip count. Since you need 6 pips to win, you know that the starting die has to be 6. That's how you can do it without retrying.

[@marcflaps]

Absolutely loving how creative Terry Kavanagh has been with the new Dicey Dungeons content, and you're certainly doing it justice!

[@Poyal]

It was a fun ride following your logic! Sometimes, I do not buy a puzzle game due to the fear of not beating it. But you make it seem so simple and joyful.

[@ksawerx9277]

I'm surprised people can play this game for so long and still not understand how fury works. Fury doesn't add 1 use to your equipment and puts in the same die you did before, It copies your equipment and puts in a die of the same value as you did. So if you fury a bump you don't get a 3 from a 1 you get 2 2s, if you nudge a 6 you don't get a 4 you get 2 5s

[@samuelding7854]

The difference is non-existent for most equipment

[@danielyuan9862]

It's just that the wording of the action is "increase value by 1", not "return dice with value increased by 1". Even though it appears to be implied in every action.

[@ksawerx9277]

@@danielyuan9862 i guess that makes sense and they probably worded it that way to make it less confusing

[@DvH_2]

@@samuelding7854 the difference is pretty huge honestly. One way you only have to use one dice and the equipment is used twice (fury), and the other you have to spend a second dice to play it again (re-equip). Fury can more easily materialize extra dice out of thin air since it uses the equipment for you, sort of like Snapping cards that return dice with the Jester.

[@DrGandW]

Witch Halloween is like this too, yes Also you may want to play again on your own sometime on the future, Madison has more puzzles than shown :)

[@kiranaun9593]

I feel like the final puzzle could have been solved by creating 4 2's as you said you could, since inflicting stun is unnecessary as the boss dies next turn anyway

[@the_nick_knack]

Wow, this was a super fun challenge. Almost feels like it was made for you specifically! Well played

[@spottedfiregaming2248]

The other puzzle game for Witch is in the Halloween special, which you should honestly check out anyways since it was pretty fun

[@owlman145]

5:50 I was able to deduce it had to be a 6, a starting 4 or 2 doesn't work. I didn't consider 1/3/5 because I was fairly certain an even was required to start with.

[@doomse150]

Some other commenters pointed out, that none of the equipments increase (or decrease) the total die value available. Therefore if you have to end with a total die value of 3×2=6 your start has to have a total die value of 6, so its one 6

[@Goobt64]

Nice job! I tried this one for a while but couldn't figure out some of them and you got them all with only one retry while learning new mechanics too! You are truly a puzzle master!

[@jayayeonetoo3335]

I tried out the Reunion DLC yesterday and was pleasantly surprised to find slightly different mechanics per character, but this one was quite the experience. It really makes you think about what you do and when to properly use all your equipment and dice!

[@placeholderblankspace]

It bewilders me how tyler solves these so fast

[@danielyuan9862]

He edits out the part where he's thinking. It took me a long while to realize it from watching his videos, but he always just skips his actual live thought process and makes it seem like he solved every puzzle in 30 seconds each.

[@houligan5254]

I love the blind dice actual value overlay. Pro job!

[@ddrjay]

Congratulations on half a million!!! Been watching you since WAYYYY back in the Bloons days. BTD5, Battles, even the knock of PC Bloons TD game with the extra towers & Bloon & blimp types.

[@xTheeCandyManx]

What they should have done for that last puzzle is make the stun unsolvable so that there is no way to get a stun without leftover dice or equipment, to trip up people like Tyler who always want the perfect solution but forget that you don't need a stun if you kill that turn.

[@jackeea_]

That's what's meant to happen! ...But there's a bug in the puzzle selection, so you're not always offered a "perfect" puzzle.

[@cowpawer]

What a great set of puzzles! Glad to see you still enjoying this game because I'm still loving it myself!

[@chargable_water]

i like this video definitely shorter but enjoyable i didn't understand much tho 😅 and the editing was great with the dice :D👍

[@jackeea_]

Jumpcuts be like that

[@danielyuan9862]

5:59 The sum all your dice is always constant, so you can figure out that the die has to be a 6 if the puzzle is actually solvable.

[@zoa9720]

[@Imdrekaiser]

[@KebabTM]

Hey Aliensrock, been watching for a while and love your approach to puzzles and how you add an entertaining flair to playthroughs. I would be really interested to see a playthrough of "Linelight" on Steam. It's a pretty underrated game about a line that moves around interacting with its world and I think you'd enjoy it.

[@m4il94]

Halloween special dicey dungeons has the witch be basically just a bunch of puzzles (the Halloween special was first). Also, the puzzles use the spellbook now.

[@placeholderblankspace]

I like strategy games more than puzzle games, but seeing Tyler's enjoyment for this mode made me super happy

[@connorcraft5455]

Congrats on 500k subscribers!

[@Gaswafers]

I knew Tyler would absolutely crush this episode, aside from the slight stumble on the fury interaction. Are there even any cases where you'd use fury on a dice maker in the normal game? Generally, your best thing to duplicate is always an attack. Maybe it's good to mass dice on the Witch, if she even has access to a source of fury.

[@jackeea_]

Generally, fury on a dice manipulator is better than furying a weapon if you've got reusable stuff. For example, if you somehow have Fury as Thief, you might want to use Fury on a Lockpick to get more dice, rather than using it on your Dagger+. Furying dice manip that gets you lots of dice (e.g. Vise Grip+, Blender) is also great if you've got a way to use them.

[@genericuser5523]

i like the fact at he shows the dice value and not just left it blinded for veiwers :)

[@genericuser5523]

i also just realised couldnt you use retry to do more damage? or am i missing something? (never made it this far with the witch)

[@jackeea_]

Retry resets all damage you've done.

[@nuggetoftruth865]

Congrats on 500k! Keep up the great work.

[@wariolandgoldpiramid]

Very impressive to see you win this so easily, and didn't even take any damage. The other puzzle level is the Witch's Halloween episode. Please give it a play, as well.

Was nice to see how the puzzles I skipped were solved. I also got the same last puzzle, (there are a few different "Mastermind" puzzles).

The editing in the blind puzzle really helped

[@Misty_FT]

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS ONE

[@jmejuniper]

It is impossible to do the blind thing with anything less than a six. There isn't any bumps or stuff like that in that puzzle, everything in there keeps your total dice value constant (Sine wave just transfers 1 point to a different dice, chisel chisel and the last one just split dice apart). Given that you need 3 twos at the end, you need 6 total value in your starting die, and you only have one die, which means that it must be a six

[@malcolmw121]

Oho! I'd love to see you get into the Halloween Episodes as well! They're accessible in a similar way to the Reunion episodes.

[@Boomerkbom57]

If you're looking for the other witch puzzle level it's part of the Halloween pack (I'd also recommend trying the other two episodes in that pack since they are also very unique)

While he had 3 "two"s for the Mastermind spell, he had not used up the Nudge+ spell completely. Which means Madisson wouldn't be stunned, and would deal 1 damage. It's still technically acceptable, but he wanted to find the perfect solution.
