The Book of True Will

Are you playing The Book of True Will, but you find yourself struggling with a specific puzzle? Worry not, this page is here to help you!

Beware of potential spoilers in case you haven't gotten to the respective puzzles yet.


Puzzle 1:
"Orientation"

Mainly a test of reflexes to get you started. As such, there is no real "solution".

Tips:


Puzzle 2:
"Stepping Stones"

Step on one tile to change its state and that of the tiles around it. Sounds familiar? Well, this puzzle has a little twist: While touching a tile will change the state of the adjacent ones, the tile that was stepped on itself will not change.

Tips:


Still having trouble? Well then, here are the solutions. (Of course, many other solutions are also possible.)
Let's start by giving each tile its own number:



Now, these are the tiles you have to touch for every one of the four "stages":

Stage 1:


Stage 2:


Stage 3:


Stage 4:


Puzzle 3:
"Lockpicking"

A more challenging puzzle where you have to simultaneously move two picklocks to the right spots at once. The positions of the picklocks relative to each other can be changed by using the obstacles in the level layout, since even if one picklock can't make a move, the other one still might.
You can reset any level by pressing the Escape button.

Tips:


Still no success? Here, have the solutions for each lock.

Lock 6:


Lock 7:


Lock 8:


Puzzle 4:
"Range of Influence"

This is a tricky one. Instructing an ever-moving fiery being to evade obstacles and reach a torch at the end of a tunnel doesn't sound too hard - but what happens when the tunnel goes dark after a few seconds?

Tips:



No luck? In that case, you can use these pictures of the complete tunnels to help you.

Puzzle 5:
"Different Languages"

A logic puzzle consisting of two parts: Decoding the writings on the wall first, then using the hint they provide to spell out the solution. Each symbol stands for one letter of the alphabet, although only 13 out of the 26 existing letters are present.

Tips:


If you're still hurting for another clue, here is one to make it easier:


Still too difficult? See here for the translations of each word.

Upper left word:


Upper right word:


Lower left word:


Lower right word:


Now to spell out the word the sentence hints at. It's one word only, not more.

Here's a hint:


Drawing a blank? This is the word you need to spell out:


Puzzle 6:
"Reflection"

My personal favourite. Upon pressing the lever, a sphere of light will emerge from the crystal ball and start moving. If it hits one of the characters, the sphere will split in two in a right angle on the tile of front of them, and the two halves will move on independently. This can happen multiple times. Position your characters carefully to split and redirect the spheres onto the large crystals and activate them all at once.
You can switch between characters by pressing the Shift button.

Tips:


Too confusing still? See here for the right setup for each stage. (Some stages have more than one possible solution.)

Stage 1:


Stage 2:


Stage 3:


Stage 4:


Puzzle 7:
"Finding a Path"

The path over the illusionary chasm appears and disappears again. You only have a short amount of time to cross, so make every step count.

Tips:


Fallen down one too many times? See these images for the complete visible paths.

Path 2 (Kyle):


Path 3 (Madelyn):


Path 4 (Leroy):


Puzzle 8:
"Rays of Fire"
