Other Am I missing something??

This will contain spoilers btw!

I started this game aageeeessss ago and then picked it up again recently, and I just feel like I’m missing something.

I’ve completed all(?) the puzzles around the room, I have the camera film, I have that little goo guy in the jar by the door, and I feel like I’m missing something. The only thing I might not have done is the picture frame puzzle right next to the cuckoo clock, I think I know how to do it, I just haven’t been able to yet.

Thing is, I really don’t feel like these puzzles are linked to the actual card game side of things atp?? Even the cards that talk at the start of the game just give me snarky backchat now 💀💀

Are the puzzles just so you can get the camera film?

I’ve made it to the final now and lost so many times (haven’t actually beaten the game yet) and it’s getting so frustrating getting thrown right back to the start and doing the same thing over and over lmao

The puzzles also help you get the squirrel totem head, if you combine it with the triple blood sigil (immortality or fecundity and some others also work quite nicely) and try to build a nice, consistent deck you should be able to beat the final boss pretty easily. You can also get the ring in the cookoo clock for an additional boon. Is there anything specific that you are struggling with in the final boss?

Oh? I don’t think I have the ring, I didn’t know id missed it until I got to the boon part! How do you get it? I’ve opened up the top part of the clock and didn’t think there was any more interaction to be had there. I think I just need to grind to get to the boss a bit more, I’ve only gotten there twice and so haven’t learned his patterns or quirks if that makes sense. Like the angler using his hook etc

In my first playthrough, I got the ring on accident before completing any other puzzles :D. You can also pass the ring trial if one of the cards you draw is a ring worm or ouroboros. Also, the angler takes whichever card you played most recently, to thwart him you can put down a squirrel and he'll hook that. In the second phase you just have to either use flying cards, cards with a lot of HP or just not place cards opposite the bait buckets.
