Thank you for actually explaining how to do things!!! So many other walkthroughs I've watched/read have no explanations which is incredibly frustrating bc I would like to know and learn why I'm wrong

THANK YOU for explaining how you came to each conclusion. Sometimes I complete a section, but I'm not 100% sure that i learned the rules correctly! I got the upper panels by taking hints from the background elements, and somehow ended up on the solutions through much trial and error

Decided to finally start clearing my backlog. The Witness is a game I just stopped playing at some point so I started all over again today. Got stuck on the last apple tree puzzle but remembered seeing the solution somewhere before years ago, checked KZread on my tv and found this video. Stuck again on one of the desert puzzles and this time, checked KZread on my pc and realized THIS is the video where I first saw the solution. You're the only one I've found so far to explain how you can see the reflection on the panels (instead of wasting hours guessing), but going behind it and activating it so that it slides across so you can get sunlight on the other side. Excellent video. I hope not to have to consult them too much though, because I really want to be able to solve these things.

The trick to the windmill....for the third and fourth blade....stand facicing the windmill so the door is in front of you. On the first blade...exit at the rightside of the door line...using the blades exit closest to the center. Then wait for the second blade....hop a ride around the entire spinning. Proceed to exit the second blade on the windmills towers line...aka left side of the door. From there you can hop on the third or 4rth blade accordiningly. The trick is to not reuse the same line. Basically...to solve the puzzle you cannot retrace the lines you "already used". Cheers

regardless we need a specific video showing a fool proof way of doing this standing at a specific spot that works everytime

the explanation only means so much thanks for trying to help but its all shit to me without actually seeing it step by step and seeing your specific standing point on the dot and everything .... facing the door doesnt even mean shit to me from what 5 feet away or way back or what none of this makes much sense anyways without seeing it

There's another tape behind the symmetry laser, on a ledge below it. There's a path to it on the left when you go through the gate

There's actually an intended way to get the 3/4 circle on the windmill. If you stand close to the left beam you should see it extends a big farther than the windmill blade. So once the second blade passes by, you hop off and QUICKLY YANK DOWN to move the cursor to the bottom. The blade will pass by and you can reach the third blade. You don't need to glitch anything out because the developers wanted you to think outside of the box. :) Hope that helps!

Christian Groff thanks, have played this so long ago that I have trouble making sense of your explanations, but I'm sure I missed something there. Maybe I'll get around to try it some day.

I got it by glitching out the windmill by going to the bell tower and having the right wall cover up 2 of the blades. Then, when I take a ride on one of the blades, It kicks me back to the orange support where I could go get the half and three quarter circles

Love your walkthroughs. Came out free for xbox one and thought nothing of it. Actually it's pretty fun. Pretty chill and definitely uses a lot of thinking. The windmill part is where I was having a tad issue but got it in 15 minutes the last part it glitches out and as able to do it.

thanks for taking a whole lot of time to do this tutorial; its a great game that you helped me with! thanks again

28:40 It's not actually a bug or misalignment. The path can't overlap itself by design. For 3/4 shape, you need to make the first transition on that upper vertical static path and use the next blade to move onto the lower one after a near-complete revolution. From then on it's as you show.

Great walkthrough that windmill was a pain in the ass! 😂

Great solution thanks

Thanks for part 2

Man, this walkthrough is fucking great. I wish you do Talos Principle 100% walkthrough just like you did with The Witness.

Unfortunately, the Talos Principle doesn't really work well with this kind of format as the solutions kinda speak for themselves, there's not really a secret rule behind that you have to understand. Therefore, by doing a walkthrough for the Talos Principle I would just be reiterating what other people have already done with perfectly valid talent.

The talos Principle is my favorite game! its right up there with Portal!

You can break the windmill easier if you jump onto the second windmill bit and then go to the second beam and head immediately for the bottom it pushes you back on the first beam so that should be a lot easier thank you for the walkthrough btw. ^-^

Thanks, that will be usefull for other players.

4:03 The apple and, more importantly, the branch are both visible through the fence gate from outside, which is a good clue to solve the last tree puzzle. Now this is inconsequential, but I see people refer to some kind of apple "thief", although nothing in the scene seems to hint at thievery to me. A farmer harvested an apple from their tree and accidentally broke its branch, then brought both the apple and the branch with them into their patio to salvage as firewood later, diced and served the apple on a tray. A thief would just leave the broken branch wherever it fell under the tree and scram with the apple.

This game lends itself well to demonstration as you can freeze the viewport and show people what you mean by making gestures over certain areas.

I know this video is 3.5 years old, but the flowers in the lake are for the audios hidden along the island. The shells are for the vaults where you find the hexagon patterns.

Yes they are. I do mention this at some point in the series. If memory servers right one color of flowers is for tapes present on the surface of the island and the other color is for tapes present underground. Them being open represents tapes you've already listened to.

I'm really confused about the water reflection puzzles. Any tips on mirroring the puzzle?

Dr. Platinum The secret is to keep moving, whilst moving you'll end up seeing better which is the line that doesn't shine a reflection back. That's the one you should follow. If it gets too tough though you can always just use my solutions. I don't think they're different for every player.

With the trees I had no idea it related to the apples. I just used trial and error 😂😂😂. It worked out in the end tho

25:01 the two lower ones when did he get them?

I must admit that that's the only secret I didn't find the solution for. To this day I still don't know for sure what unlocks the boat. I think it's after you have opened two different docks, but I'm not certain.
