TOPIC: Who solved that last puzzle?

A group of sometimes-volunteers went through and missed the first puzzle but succeeded this puzzle with enough time for me to explain the room 1 puzzle to them.

Someone on the Discord said you couldn't just say the answer without putting the tiles in place. I guess that varied some by DM, although, the clue did seem to be pointing to a particular answer.

Lol - our group was on totally the wrong track.

We noticed that several (at least 4) of the plaques if placed letter side up covering 2 existing letters in a column produced a word, so we spent our time doing that and thinking it produced a code phrase.

Same here. A little misleading can be fun, but it wastes a lot of time. I didn't mind that there was a trick behind the solution, though.

See, this is a reason to do more runs. I think every wrong path mentioned is one my group tried. It wasn't until our 5th run that we stumbled upon the correct solution.

This was a particularly good (easy) dungeon for meta runs.
The worst hindrance in the whole adventure could be avoided by Knowing that would go a long way.
Knowing about the could let you equip to avoid that (although, it's a pretty safe bet lately that that's going to be a factor.
Just, in general, knowing Although, any builds that already went that way were greatly advantageous in this dungeon. At some point, the screw is going to go in the other direction (maybe both directions at once???), it's just hard to say where the tipping point will be.

Knowing about all the immunities and vulnerabilities would be very helpful on a meta run.

Also, I don't think any of the puzzles changed over the weekend. And, yes, some of them took more than 12 minutes to figure out, which was fine if you had more than one run.
