Lever order.

[WackMyBeaver]

Alright, I know there is no correct order for the lever. But is there any hints or anything to help out with it?

The levers are very tricky but there is a formula for making it in a maximum of 10 tries. 

 

Start with a random combo, for instance: Red, green, yellow, blue. 

Nothing sparked. 

 

The spark (NOT a sound, a VISUAL effect) will depict if the lever was pulled in the correct order, however this ONLY apples to one or two levers. 

 

You try again, Blue, Yellow, Red, Green: It's important THIS combination shares NONE of the same color-to-numbers as the first one to cover the MOST ground

 

You try yet again, Green, Red, blue, yellow and this is yet again wrong. There is only one more combo available to receive the spark.

 

Yellow, blue, green, Red.    THIS time, the red lever sparks, meaning the RED lever is pulled last. 

 

There are only 6 possible combinations with the red lever last: 

 

Yellow, blue, green, red  ---- Already done. 

Yellow, green,blue, red ----- Yellow is not first

Green, yellow, blue, red

Green, blue, yellow, red ----- Green is not first, meaning blue must be first and red must be last

Blue, green, yellow red --- Only one combo left

Blue, yellow, green, red 

 

 

And this is all worst-case scenario, chances are you'll solve it before hitting all 9 turns (totally spazzed on the fact you don't have to put in the same code again, that makes this 10 step process only 9 steps!)

Also there is that damn hidden lever in the middle of the maze; which I had not idea about until at least my 25th play through of this side quest.

,,,, Hidden lever?

,,,, Hidden lever?

There's a lever that is in the hedge in the wishing well square.

What… The… Hell… What does it do?

The same as any of the others. We for the longest time just assumed that sometimes not all of them spawn. However we now know that is not the case. Even @DeathBringerZen didn't know of that one, and he is the side quest master.

Oh… Like when the, what was it yellow? Lever didn't spawn?

Actually, there is two locations for the hidden Yellow level. Both are on the hedge inside the middle of the maze. One on the hedge beside where the door can appear and one on the opposite side from where the door can appear. It also took me over 50+ games before I discovered this.

Yes there are 4 levers 100% of the time.
