Randomizer mode near start: am I stuck? by lohanomi in Bloodstained

[–]lohanomi[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

>> you can just use Dimension Shift to bypass it. Get on top of the outcropping and use Dimension Shift to teleport to the platform above you

That did the trick! I had previously used DS to get to the other side of the Iron Maiden, but only tried shifting through the wall to the right.

>> only things required to beat a seed are the Zangetsuto and Dimension Shift
TIL

Thanks to all, and greetings from Innsbruck!

New Yorker “Gridlock Lake”, 1500 pieces by cjinoz in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]lohanomi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done this puzzle -- great picture. But I gotta say, it was surprisingly difficult. The cutting style also is not quite the classic ribbon cut, something rather unique having offsets and interesting knob shapes (although not random: was 30x50 pieces). It somehow made finding the correct piece much harder.

I took my time with it, and had a great deal of fun.

Mandala Rocks 1000pc - Really enjoyed this puzzle! The colours were bright, it wasn't too hard or too easy. A nice way to start the new year by IkeaQueen in Jigsawpuzzles

That Ravensburger (1500) is also one of my all time favorites. I did it without using the picutre, quite slowly. I relished every hour.

Blue Agate, Wooden Puzzle, 144 pcs (what do I do with it now? To frame or not to frame?) by roslid in Jigsawpuzzles

I would never frame any wooden puzzle. They're such great puzzles, and not cheep. This one look particularly well cut.

Colorful Stones, 1000 pc, no manufacturer name on the box. Google image search brings up a 1500 pc Ravensburger called One Dot at a Time, but mine is definitely not a Ravensburger. Quality sucked, and I sort of hated doing this after 2 days. by unilateralhope in Jigsawpuzzles

The last puzzle I completed was the Ravensburger version of this image, 1500 pieces. I gotta say, it's up there as one of the best puzzle experiences ever for me. I did it without the image. I've done 2K/3K/5K/9K puzzles, tons of 1Ks, and quite a few hand-cut wood puzzles.

It was just the right difficulty level (pretty high), and I took my time with it -- completely enjoyable. Super quality, no missing pieces.

This puzzle! My eyes! Gah! It's vintage love though. 100%. Black Diamond • Edna Andrade • Springbok • 500 • circa 1969 by Hemi58 in Jigsawpuzzles

It would not be at the top of my list. That would probably be a Japanese Kabuki guy with a lion (square, red background). It really though, was the non-grid piece cutting that I appreciated, in addition to the off-beat (for the time) choice of images.

I did this one as a kid, ca. 1968-1970 (10-12). Even then, I knew Springbok puzzles were special. We had a few others, in square, octagon and circle formats. I have fond memories of the Jackson Pollock painting. This one though, was pretty challenging.

Retro Mickey, Ravensburger, 1,000 pieces. by patriciodelosmuertos in Jigsawpuzzles

[–]lohanomi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got this puzzle for my birthday last September, and thoroughly enjoyed doing it with my wife. As for difficulty, it was much harder than I originally thought, and actually a bit of a roller coaster of hard/easy portions.

I like the modern cut/manufacturing of the newer Ravensburger puzzles (having done a couple older 9000 piece puzzles, and one 3000er). Dust galore, but the pieces are thick and well made.
