The vaccine puzzle was easy for me but this water torture (ahaaaaaa did you see what I did there!) was just horrible. Those bleeping sounds going on and on and on as I tried to match it up. I must have taken up 3 hours on it.

I had taken pictures on my phone of the outcome, there were 3 alternating ways it had to be done. I would just look at those and match it up easy.:) This comes in handy when you are playing a 8 runs on RE3, on Hard Mode to unlock the Epilogues...

After the first time, I eventually just used an FAQ to get through it when it was taking too long. Couldn't be arsed to figure out which 1 it was.

I need to look up some sort of walkthrough to find a definate way to do it each time, as I usually go through it, then forget about it until I play through again. I've noticed that you can do it either really fast, or really slow, nothing in between...

@tequila, did the Gammas eat you whole in RE3? I remember that they did in Outbreak, but I wasn't sure about RE3.

They do eat you whole. They did that to me when I was doing the second run of the game. They also got me at the bridge with the river since they popped out of nowhere and had left it like a dummy, had not paused it when I set the controller down. As for the gas station... I kind of remember the puzzle at the gas station. I didn't think that was hard. Wasn't it a stable code or a random like the water sample puzzle? I don't remember if it was stable or not.

You are probably right, I just don't recall it happening to me. My experience like that was with one of the Beta's, but still in the park, my wavebird controller had died, so I was helpless...

As for the puzzle as the service station, it wasn't particularly hard, and it certainly didn't take very long, it just didn't make any real sense, just entirely random. If it weren't as quick & easy as it is, then I might complain about it.:)

What helped me is noting the empty spaces (the ones without any sound) and if you get those right then everything else will fall into place

Is it weird that I actually had enjoyment in doing this? I thought it was one of the funner puzzles int eh series. Took me like 20-30 mins though.

Lol i can see your character now walking through the dead factory with ease, blowing away a few hunters with the magnum taking off a few zombie heads along with way just walking around like you own the place,

you walk downstairs to the puzzle "Shhh....just give me a second!...ive almost...i cant...SONUVA"

Personally i liked all the puzzles especially the ones in the dead factory, the funniest puzzle was the gas station puzzle, like some users wrote, i was just pressing the buttons, withouth knowing what was i doing, heheh

The one in the gas station was so ridiculously easy. I used to play a game called "Lights Out" and the puzzle was a mini version of that game. My vote goes in for the one in the hospital as the hardest for me.

Guys, seriously? That was the easiest puzzle of the game by far.

Are they talking about the one with the thing you move to one of the 4 corners of the room?

Or the one where you make the vaccine for Jill?

I agree the vaccine one is easy. It's like 3 switches and you're done. If you don't get those exact three though, you are going to be spending a lot of time there with the Gammas.

The one with the 4 corners is super easy though.

I was under the impression that they were talking about the water sample puzzle; the only puzzle in the game I would consider a "graph" puzzle is that one since you move the lines on the graph to make them match up. If you read the file on the puzzle it explains it, even if simply - all you do is match up the lines correctly and then test the water. *shrugs* I never understood what the big deal was.

The only ones I found challenging were the music box puzzle and that's because, after a few tries, all the notes started to sound the same to me :oops: - I get it on the first try everytime now, though; I guess it was just that first run-through that I had a problem with it - and the past, present and future puzzle with the amber, obsidian and crystal orbs. (I still have problems with that one.)
