Please note, my chat was spitballing idea for the final puzzle the whole time. The idea you're about to type into the comments was probably attempted. ALSO I think the solution had to do with a very subtle splash effect that played, either I had to put blocks on till that happened or one before that effect happened idk.
Jolly, the first plate is A, the second is B, and the third one is C. Theres a sign that says A3 (three blocks on A), B4 (four blocks on b)). You didnt need four for B though, you needed AT LEAST four, since the puzzle is physics based. Not sure about C.
I thought it related to the signs on the wall, A and B being in relation to the corresponding pressure plates and a hidden C one around the room somewhere
Developer says solution is 3 on the first one, 4 on the second, then stack the remaining ones on the third. You can also gravity gun one onto the third. They admit it is broken. Search "The Dropper - Developer Commentary"
Ah shit... this was my first ever Half-Life 2 Map. This map is an abomination. I have a dev commentary where I struggle to the flawed logic for each ‘puzzle’ in the map. Jolly was actually correct about the last puzzle, you’re supposed to read the decals in the walls. However, it’s so broken that if you just shoot down a cinderblock hard enough it opens the door anyway. Either way, very glad this map could be entertaining to so many people!
Legit this map may have been a mess but it was a VERY entertaining mess. My anger towards you was purely surface level I swear. As long as what you've made is entertaining I consider that a win. Also the decals were right?! I tried that! It didn't do anything! I must have done it wrong.
@@hjack6463 one of the other comments actually solved that riddle. The riddle is broken, if you shoot a block hard enough down on the plates it registers it as solved...
amazing what being fueled by spite and anger can do for you. also, as much as we harp on jolly, he's done this sort of thing a LOT. He knows his way around a source game or two.
I'm guessing the solution in the last puzzle had to do with the signs on the wall? A3 being a pile of 3 bricks on the first spot, B4 a pile of 4 on the second one or something like that?
"What is going on, though?" The whole point of these kinds of Half Life mods is that, you don't get to know what is happening around you. It just gets straight to the point
*"Who cares about skills? Skills for people who don't have luck. And I have luck"* -Jolly 2k21 Oh no puzzle, Jolly's only weakness. And then the ending, what a perfection 😂
I think the puzzle solution had to do with that A3 and B4 on the wall. When the door opened, there were three cinder blocks on the first pad, at least four on the second, and slightly over three on the third (including the player). If you look closely, you can see that placing four blocks on a pad fully presses it, so adding more is functionally the same as using four. I’m not sure where the clue for the third pad was in the room, but it wouldn’t be too difficult to trial and error the last pad as an intended solution, (although it would be a bit lazy).
Can we all just appreciate how, after the camel-back-breaking straw of the final puzzle's solution, our normally mild-mannered Jolly went full fucking Papabear Rambo on those Combine and the Hunter? Daaaaayyyuuuum.
So if I make a road game that takes 5 minutes to complete, and then put cinderblocks and a square hole in it, Jolly will tell us that cinderblocks go into the squarehole for 20 minutes?
I swear I remember commenting something on this video that was very controversial, and it had a 500 comment long argument of people both attacking AND defending me from attackers. I guess it got deleted sadly, lol.
Jolly - the only man alive who would struggle to choose between 2 options. The most indecisive man alive.' We need a HL2 map that forces you to always move and never think. Jolly's nightmare - can't stand still and think for 5 mins
" _We only had to, ugh, randomly guess the right hole_ " Y'know, I'd make a joke about my s#x life, but I haven't ever been good enough to actually *have* a s#x life, sooo…
A3, B4, three monkeys. Three blocks on A, four blocks on B, monkey on C. It’s a dumb puzzle but I guess at least it wasn’t supposed to be trial and error
Everbody's talking about what the solution to what the last puzzle would've been, meanwhile I'm stuck here still wondering what the first puzzle's first.
Classic Jolly, finds the right pipe to go down then dies going down it and then loads back to the top with the pipe he already found the right one and still goes into the wrong one and dies again.
Oh, and btw, on a more critical note. Someone mentioned that your background music choices can be ill fitting or disruptive sometimes. IDK if it's because I saw that comment recently or something, but i can kinda see it here. It's not a big deal for me, but I thought I mention it. you don't have to play silly music to get our attention, btw, you've clearly already got it.
From what i can tell you stepped on the brick pushing down the pressureplate which is what opened the door. This is stupid as giving the player the grav gun and laying bricks around everywhere tells the player to use the bricks, not themselves. If there was no grav gun and less bricks it would be more obvious that the bricks arnt the answer.
