    being surrounded by so many magnets, no wonder, the compass is confused.
  • @BluishGreenPro
    Remarkable craftsmanship, I love the design of this puzzle
  • @DomPuzzles
    I think you need to use only the small squares with number on it. Find the same symbol (on the bottom) and you can find the degrees (you have 0 90 180 270 and between there are dots every 5 degrees). You use the compass and you have the number of waves). Awesome puzzle to solve.

    I love watching you solve puzzles like this. No matter that pieces fall off you still stay calm and methodically work through to a successful solution. Very entertaining. Keep it up 👍🏻 What puzzles (if any) have you awarded 5/5 for difficulty?
  • @natha_ow
    I would never be able to put it back together, if I should end up solving it in the first place. That, to me, is what is the impressive part of you solving the puzzles 😀 Grüße aus Kiel!
  • @bigtoe2820
    I love your videos. This was another great one. Thanks for sharing
  • I enjoy watching the puzzle getting disassembled and wonder if Ill see you put it back together. So many pieces!
  • @siwitea
    I backed it up as a gift for my boyfriend. I hope they can reach their goal, this one is such and amazing piece of craftmanship! The other ones they have too. The gameplay is really interesting, you really have to think this out, it's amazing. Thanks for the video!!!

    "Zehahaha! Strawhat! You'll never solve my puzzle!"
  • @waggerinator
    Sad that the reward didn´t point in the right direction. Maybe because all those magnets distracted it... Or it points to your next puzzle.
  • @sethusk
    Ah, when it comes to brute forcing a puzzle, you have to do what you have to do. It sure leaves a bad taste in my mouth when I have to do it though. Thanks for another great video. That puzzle certainly has some cool style.
  • I think you will find that the compass only works properly when placed inside the puzzle with magnets correctly in place
  • @janpatzold1347
    And the last riddle? There is a Ring behind the compass

    SPOILER Constellations section. This part was a swine to get right, it took me 2 hours to figure it out. So you can put all 8 tiles together like a puzzle to get a better look at the whole constellations the numbered tiles are part of so they're easier to find. You have to take each constellation as a whole and if you look from the centre of the puzzle out through each constellation you get a star where there's a split or it's the centre of spokes, that's the star you want so it's kind of the central point of each group. So if you get a ruler and take a line through the centre of the sun out through that star it gives the degree point on the outer edge. Even when realising that big dots are 10s and little dots 5s it was still really hard to figure each one out because they look so similar. You get 1=130 2=60 3=305 4=235. On the protractor that gives you 1 3 3 1. I did not want it to be easy and forcing you to have multiple attempts because of the vagueness is not unreasonable but in my gut I feel this part of the puzzle was a bit of a mess. This and the fact that mine had a couple of finishing errors and minor chips makes me think it's a 4/5. It also arrived broken with the face layer on the top plate broken off but it glued back into place OK. It did give away the first move because the workings were exposed. Not EW's fault but it's a disappointment that I missed my first eureka moment on finding the start.

    If i was to make the map id make sure nobody knew the answer. Dont blame you for brute force, i do want to see the creators thinking.
  • So this puzzle is a colassal waste of time; if you want a compass that actually works. Tnanks for the info! Thanks for all your hardwork by the way! Love your channel dood!

    Blackbeard's compass?? or Sparrow's compass✅
