Enter the Kobold: Knight Tour (SPOILERS)

[melanastere]

Hey guys,

With the release of mod8, we have a new puzzle type. I'm speaking about the puzzle in Enter the Kobold where we have to light the tiles placed on each square of a given board. In this puzzle, we can only make moves which simultaneously shift one square along one axis and two along the other. It’s a chess knight like movement. Of course it's fun to let everybody messing in it all at the same time and the puzzle is easy enough to not even care about an effective way to do it. That being said, I was always wondering if I could find a sequence of moves, such that each square of the board is visited exactly once. This is the well known problem of the Knight Tour except that there are no solution for a 4 x 4 board.

Now it's not exactly a 4 x 4 board since there are 4 more squares added to this particular board. The two squares at entrance and the two squares at exit. This makes the Knight Tour study a bit special in this case since it's not a regular matrix like board.

All that to say that I think that I've come across to find a solution to this problem. The path is given below. The entrance of the puzzle is at the bottom and the exit at the top. The S letter represents where I start. I can reach this starting square by stepping on to the glowing gem represented by the tiny black bold arrow at entrance. Then I follow the path showed by the light long arrows till E at exit.

I’ve not tested this particular path yet but it should work!

Have fun,

or just get to the exit somehow, jump onto the walls and jump into those rooms you dont have yet :P
and rinse and repeat ofc...

i was doing L moves also, thought that was right, thx for map and confirmation

btw, whilst running this quest last night, a guildie told me to stop and casted jump and then explained no point doing moving inside ( shame that u can jump over it )

Yes the puzzle has not been fixed yet (I thought devs told they had it fixed) but who cares? It doesn't prevent anyone to enjoy it the regular way
