Tales from Candleforth – Puzzle order with only minor spoilers

This post is an attempt to help people who are stuck in the game and want some vague direction/hints on the puzzle order without getting full on spoilers. Note that I will be naming the puzzles based on how to solve them, so there will be light spoilers. Just not how to solve them. Just which ones they are. Consider them hints.

If the hints aren’t enough, feel free to check my youtube Tales from Candleforth Walkthrough Playlist:

Stellar Blade – Simple & Wisdom Puzzles

In Xion, you can interact with the Bulletin Board that’s next to Roxanne by her R’s Shop. You can get both Requests here.

Simple Puzzle

This request gives you three examples on how to solve it and then asks you to solve the last one.

4@7@8 = 285684
9@3@5 = 271542
6@2@7 = 121426
5@6@7 = ??

If we look at the first one:
4×7=28
7×8=56
28+56=84

That formula works for all 3 examples, so then just apply it to the last one:
5×6=30
6×7=42
30+42=72
So the code is 304272

Head into the Underground Lift and down into the room where the monorail is. Check the right column for the input terminal.

Stellar Blade where to enter the puzzle solutions from the request board.

After you enter the solution, head back to the bulletin board to complete it and get your reward of 1000g and 2 vitcoin.

Wisdom Puzzle

This request will show up on the Bulletin Board once you complete the Simple Puzzle.

37#21 = 928
77##44 = 3993
123#17 = 14840
71#6 = ??

For this one:
37-21=16
37+21=58
16*58=928

So apply that to the one the poster wants you to solve:
71-6=65
71+6=77
65*77=5005

Head back to the same terminal in the Underground Lift area and enter the new solution.

Head back to the bulletin board for you new rewards – 1000g and the Queen of Arithmetic Badge.

The Badge will show up in your Bag in the Miscellaneous area.
