- Although the puzzle itself may not be difficult, I have decided to provide my attempt of finishing the act for your convenience.
Sorry for being a bit slow, was also trying to figure out on my first run.
This puzzle sucks. HARD. What isn't explained, and what I just figured out after a lot of trial and error, is that moving will change a note one level for one point of stress. So in the 2 and ESPECIALLY the 3rd fight, you have to use movement to "prime" some of the changes before using change notes. That reduces the cost to change them from 2 x 2 to 1 x 1 plus 2 x 1 so a total of 4 vs 3 stress (no move/move). THAT is the secret to beating this puzzle.
Can't believe this does not have more upvotes. This is the key and no one has mention it...
Then it's clearly developer's fault.
I get it now. The notes have to mirror the other side, not match. The Joker is like a wild note in place wherever he is standing, so wherever he stands is considered the needed note.
This is something the game needs to explain. It's way too complicated. It's also the same as displayed.
The game kinda doesn't explain lots of things, it's been the same since DD1. It's interesting how much of a puzzle it is, since once you understand the mechanics, the rest is simply piecing together why the notes are indicated as "in tune", then trial and error until it fits. Once you understand the Jester = Wildcard, Crescendo and Diminuendo are "shift wild card" while Nota Cambiata stands for change (another) Note.
Kinda reminds me of needing a guide to explain to me why keeping watch during DD1 camping was invaluable lmao and how busted scouting chance really is. Once you understand the mechanics of the puzzle you won't need to look at a guide to beat it.
Now I kinda miss the secret rooms from DD1....
@@Illidandavid its pretty obscure, & tryin to figure out what things did caused me to lose the first attempt thru trial n error (i figured out the mechanics but had to realize it was flipped vs matching, which it was a 50-50 & I lost so I had to redo it, if they made that part slightly more obvious its not nearly as bad)
@@alext.1244 You also have to think about it this way, on the first (or even second playthrough) there are times when you utterly despair, possibly get overwhelmed by boss mechanics. The game isn't meant to be beatable in a single sitting.
If you go in blind, defeating each confession boss is nigh impossible. Red Hook devs have always rewarded trial and error. Hitting bookstacks against Librarian? Hitting the Root behind the General? Thinking you're doomed to try and beat the General in 4 turns, otherwise the Growth swallows up your entire party....
The game rarely ever gives you hints or explains mechanics.
@@Illidandavid very fair, the only reason i survived the general the first time was cuz I had seen a clip from a DBD streamer (But i didnt know u HAD to hit it twice so I lost half my party regardless). I guess im just concerned about it being TOO obscure/difficult and that that may cause people to give up and/or lookup help maybe? Aside from that intro twitch clip, one-two vids on newplayer guides & THIS video for the jester i havent tried to give up or seek help (altho once I found out theres a wiki I did take a browse) & its that battle to try not make things too hopeless for the newerish players is important i dunno
I did infact destroy the librarian 1st try (due to great anti burn items) without a guide or a clue just a vague guess that burn damage was important for a boss that lived in a BURNING LIBRARY lol haha & i got rewarded for that guess/knowledge feels GREAT & is wat a good balanced boss feels like. ....altho.... wat does hitting the books do tho? I just focused on the guy himself & killed him b4 he destroyed the last stack infront of us! wat happens wen all the stacks are gone?
@@alext.1244 he usually burns a stack every turn (deals 15 damage to it). Once a stack is gone he uses his big AOE.
When ALL stacks are gone, he just keeps spamming the AOE twice a turn, usually leading to a full team wipe within 2-3 turns if you cant kill him by that point.
I'm sure the devs made the game having well in mind that whoever gets stuck but likes the game / graphics will just look it up anyway. The design for most things was left vague and up for players to explore and spend dozens of hours investing their time into it. Which admittedly, they accomplished very well seeing the games' success.
It's nothing as obscure as securing important clues or walkthroughs / guides / easter eggs through magazines back in the day. Then be king next day when you go to school and tell all your friends about it.
Thank you so much for the example on how to heck to beat this shrine challenge. Very vague, no tips at all from the creators. The skill earned from this, Finale, is incredible.
its almost like they are saying "hey he is broken, and we know hes broken so heres an next to impossible challenge (I know for sure that like 99% of people wont get this on their first try at least) to make u work for it!" which is a bit silly cuz other characters are also super strong n have easier as f shrines! :p
It’s really not that hard of a shrine challenge, I understand why for some people it might be complicated but literally after like 30 seconds of just looking at the notes on the opposite side it’s super easy to figure out
@@somedude1887 lmao
@@somedude1887true. At first, i didnt know what to do so i changed the note that had perfect pitch already and still somehow made it on my 1st try
Just sold two shrines in a row because the top result was some outdated guide, thank you so much for this 💪
Same except I burned 3 shrines. Apparently it was changed at some point.
@@chrisduncan1647 yeah changing notes now costs 2 of jester’s stress, so the strategy was changed
This is definitely one of the more annoying hero shrines. Thank you so much for the guide. Most other hero challenges you can figure out on the first go, this one has so much going on with you needing to be in proper place ahead of time without knowing what notes will be coming up next or else you'll fail out the challenge. Failed 3 times and not gonna fail my forth thanks to you!
Trust me, runaway have worse than this
While the 1st Jester challenge was about song structure, this challenge is about pre-planning. Great guide. I had already gave half a dozen tries before conceding and looking up a guide.
half a dozen tries before looking it up is pretty crazy.
I was waiting for this. Thank you!
you're a lifesaver mate this bullshit was driving me crazy
OMG AN UP TO DATE ONE, THANK YOU
Very helpful. Thank you very much for this!
My man. Thank you soooo much. Many blessing to you😊

Thank you for uploading this. Took me an embarrassing 6 attempts. Holy crap
Thanks for the guide!

Thank you I tried it like 3 times always failed. And they didnt even say ONE Thing how it works. Most difficult hero story thing of them all.
Thank you so much!
I like the past explained through battle but dont like how I must find another shrine if you fail.
Thanks for the guide, not wanting to fail those shrines.
Thank you so much❤❤
Thank you, I've failed this puzzle 10 times

Thank you omfg, i've wasted 4 shrines cuz of this puzzle
thanks bro
Fuck this memory, Thank you so much for the vid.
champ :thumbs-up:
im sorry but, i dont understand, are notes guides what to do or match buff and abilities?
Danke
I like how hesitant you seemed to click on choices even when it was obvious they'd work.
I like it because I relate to it on a spiritual level. I'm on try five. I have done my first save scum in frustration. I am a broken man and afraid of clicking anything now for fear of needing to try this elevenity billion times. I do not feel accomplished having done this. I just feel frustration that it existed.
...I think I'm having a genuine Darkest Dungeon experience.
Thanks! This fcking game didnt give clue of what to do, i failed the first time
I had to put the video x2 of how slow you react
I got really unlucky, the final melody they never give me a perfect pitch note even when I could shift my Jester around. then when it came to the switch, it switched to the wrong note. Wasted 4 runs thus far.
I LOVE this puzzle. It’s a shame the developers didn’t give us any clues in game on how to solve it, because as is, it’s unfigure-outable.
i love you
I love you
thank you, ive been doing his shit 13 time lmao
thanks, third one was not so easy
my dumbass was seting them up backwards
найс
Haha it used to be even harder in alpha, you didnt even have the indicator if althe note was in the correct pitch. Preety cool vibe tho
i dont get it
Damn man, I hate this level, I wasted like 5 shrines on this
Italiano? 😅
This really sucked no idea what they are thinking with this one. You make the other shrines easy but you make this one ridiculous hard ?
What an annoying hero shrine OMFG
all of your videos you take 10 times too long to choose your action this should have been heavily edited so people dont have to watch it at double speed.
