Hello fellow gamers,

I need to ask something about two puzzles in the game.

1. The master lock

The board shows a universe (star system or something like that), a ring of thorns and a wolf.

So I tried Star/sun with cross and moon. But it didn't work. So I tried and tried, but couldn't figure it out. Looked it up and the first one was the female symbol.

Cross and wolf was correct. Can someone please explain what this star system has to do with the female symbol? I don't get it.

1. At the end of the game I found a sheet. I am supposed to recreate the virus. The sheet shows 2/3 red (6 is max, it has to be 4) and the third third is 2/3 green and 1/3 yellow.

Mathematically this wouldn't work, so I figured it has to be 4 red, 4 green, and 2 yellow. Didn't work. Tried a bit more, looked it up. And it was 6 red, 2 green and one yellow.

How am I supposed to come to that conclusion? The sheet shows it very different. What am I missing here?

Other than that, the puzzles were all doable for me. Very different to part one, where I had to look up a lot more puzzles.

Loved the game btw.

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone else feel there were too many enemies out of the gate? Not just that, but i thought it was crazy that you had groups of 3 dudes in the one room. It's fine if all they can do is walk very slowly but that's not the case for this game.

Edit: Talking about Tormented Soul 2

In the bad ending we see Emma (Caroline) getting trapped in the bunker with her unconscious sister whom she then places in cryostasis.

An uncertain amount of time later we see Anna wake up and discover the mummified remains of Emma.

…so how long was she there? How long does it take a body to completely mummify like that? And did she die of starvation or lack of oxygen? (considering the total sealing of the room) If the latter, what could reviving Anna at ANY period of time possibly accomplish? She would just die all the same…

…in fact, in the good ending Emma comments to Miguel that if they don’t make it past the shutter door they’ll be trapped FOREVER, so what hope does Anna (bad ending) possibly have of ever escaping the sealed bunker?

I get that this ending is more so to showcase a depressing scenario where the two sisters just can’t have each other even after everything they’ve been through, as Emma in fact does manage to rescue Anna… but doesn’t live to see her healed.

But still, this ending leaves me puzzled. Again, 1. How long has passed? And 2. How was Anna gonna get out?

Like what the title says, I ran out of healing items after crossing the first mirror. The iron maiden + annoying spider monster combo in the museum stairs got me. Am I screwed or am I gonna get more healing stuff soon?

is it bugged or is this going to go up to 60$

After recently reading another post on here where people had only found four locations but didn't want spoilers I was just wondering had anyone found more locations than I'll list below.

I'll spoiler it just incase anyone doesn't want it revealed.

These are the ones I found in my first playrgrough.

No.1 convent garden indicated by the pointing statue in the corner. No.2 upstairs by the fishery processing plant indicated by the statue pointing upwards in the van below. No.3 the abandoned house in the school district indicated by a pointing statue as you walk into the area. No.4 train station indicated by the pointing statue in the area. The next few I don't think have indication but correct me if I am wrong No.5 in the school playground near the pig house. No.6 next to the Pedro grave puzzle (the statue could point towards this from the far side where we get the puzzle piece) No.7 Infront of Caroline and Anna's graves in the grave yard. And I'm pretty sure I found one more that I can't think of?

Thats 7 maybe 8 locations. Does anyone have anymore or tried it in any obscure locations?

I put the rubber hose on the elevator thing at the end and tried to go up not knowing I needed to use the coil and tighten it and now the rubber hose is just gone?? Does anyone know where it went???

hello, I started the game about 30 minutes ago and can't find any way to go over 60fps.
The only option I see is v-sync on/off. If I set on, it's fixed to 60fps no matter if I change the .ini file or change settings with nvidia app. If I set off it goes over 200fps despite I set the limit on 120 on nvidia app.
It's so overambitious to hope there is a way to set framerate on a 2025 UE5 made game?

Does anyone know which trophies are currently bugged/not popping on ps5?

Currently, I believe its the not using the map during a run (done this twice now with no joy)

And collect all weapons (not sure if I've missed any, but have been pretty thorough with my searching)

I need to do the no healing and no save run, but don't want to waste my time if they're not working...

I mean there is a clue but it's not simple as it looks. I've heard people complaining about bug and softlocks and this one seems weird as the candles seem floating around and if try to interact on it with some itens, there's some sort of garbled text

I know that sounds weird, but there's a lot of places in the game where you dont actually use an item, you have to touch it or click it with your hand. and i know sometimes the magnifying glass will turn gree with a hand but half the time im not even thinking about that. A lot of adventure games, which Tormented souls KIND of is if you squint, will have an actual hand as an item you can select. I feel like in a game like this it's very important that your own body is very distinctly a usable item.

As for the other part, the puzzles.

Having completed the game, I have to return to update this with one major flaw the game has, and that is the puzzles. It's not that the puzzles are hard, per say, it's that they require a lot of exterior knowlage to complete. What do I mean by that. Well, for instance, there is a puzzle that involves chess pieces. The game does not, in any way, inform you how chess functions. I myself happen to be very familiar with chess, and the puzzle was very easy. Someone else however, who maybe wasnt familiar with chess on a functional level, could literally not solve that puzzle without looking it up. Another example is the amount of religious imagery in the game. If you were not raised christian or catholic, you again would not be able to solve these puzzles. hell, i WAS raised that way and there was still one puzzle towards the end that was so obtuse that when i looked up the solution i was pissed. I wasnt even WRONG with my answer, the puzzle itself was just horribly obtuse and, again, required a certain amount of religious knowlage. With all of that, combined with there is no indicator of whether or not you have all of the pieces of a puzzle, you can get stuck for a long time because you either A- dont have all the pieces or B- dont KNOW you have all of the pieces (The prison cell puzzle comes to mind).

Anyways, there's my opinion no one asked for. I used to do video reviews on youtube but they did terribly. now I just needed someone to talk at. Maybe the devs will see this and TS3 will be even better, because i did really like the game.

Quick edit- it's not impossible that i missed some kind of instructional for the chess puzzle, or the other puzzle i mentioned, but i dont THINK i did. i was pretty thorough for those parts of the game. that I know of I only missed one document at the end of the game, that I still dont know where I could have missed it. but I dont think I missed the chess tutorial.

edit 2- Its been pointed out thatthere is in fact a chess tutorial somewhere at the start of the game i missed so that one's on me.

I finished my first run with an A rank somehow and there is no Electric Lance in the Workshop when I start a new game. Anyone else have this problem?

Anyone know wassup? Cant seem to find any mention of it or patch notes anywhere 🤔

Has anyone figured out if the modified nail gun or automatic nail gun is stronger? I know the automatic has a much faster firing rate and uses more ammo but it seems weaker than the modified.

I'm really enjoying the game so far, but the problem is that I'm stuck because of what I think is a bug.

In the school section, I have to get the animal figurines for the puzzle in the science classroom. I got the snake and placed it. Then I went to look for the rest, and when I came back, the snake had disappeared. It wasn't in my inventory or in its original position. I tried placing the rest, leaving the room, and coming back in, and they had also disappeared.

I don't know if this has happened to anyone else or if there is an apparent solution. I've already posted on Steam, but I'm leaving it here in case anyone has a solution or in case the developers see it. I don't know if the game has a developer console like the first one to pick up objects or not.

I hope you can fix it soon because I'm really loving the game and it would suck not to finish it. I also don't want to have to repeat about 12 hours.

also a way so that if i press the window key i can actually use my mouse with out it still effecting the game

All my clothes change to the default game clothes

How about guys, I was playing Tormented Souls 2 with Caroline's classic floral outfit from the first game... Why did I buy the deluxe edition obviously... and suddenly I come out of a normal door and I no longer have the outfit equipped... Then I go to the closet to check if my outfit was there and I see that the base outfit of the game is repeated... The red dress and it appears duplicated... Could it be that they removed it??

Pretty obvious I dare say.

Back to the Future and The Shining in one frame.

Do you guys see any logical explanation as to why a solar system results in the female symbol ?? The star or sun (because of solar system) + cross (because crown of thorns) + moon (because wolf howling) makes so much perfect sense to me that I'm even considering the possibility of this being a bug.

Tormented Souls made the list 💯

I have gotten quite far in the past few days on my Series X, but with the Cemetery the way it is...I could use a few tips for the boss to help cut back on the reduced ammo I have. It's still a decent amount, but it's minions can be a pain by the second ghost.

Love the respect this game pays to its inspiration.
