block puzzle in the Hall of Vision
I like quests and games like this, and even like block puzzles, but this particular block puzzle in the Hall of Vision is objectively-poorly designed.
First, and this is probably my fault, but I couldn't find the screen with the shield block anywhere. The hint for the location of the shield block is too vague. No matter, I could easily guess the correct position for the shield block inside the Hall of Vision, because I found the location of the other six blocks.
Second, there's no indication about whether the seven blocks in the Hall of Vision are supposed to be positioned in absolute or relative screen position, or in an X/Y-type orientation by counting tiles. There's also no indication about whether to use the whole screen in the Hall of Vision, or the whole screen in the corresponding seven cave screens, to determine position - or is only the area outlined by the pillars on the Hall of vision screen relevant?
In this case,
Maybe I overthought this puzzle, but I bet a lot of people are going to get stuck on this due to the ambiguity of what the player is supposed to do exactly, so I'll post a screencap of the correct solution to this puzzle. I'll delete the link if the quest maker objects, but otherwise, don't look at this screencap if you don't want the solution ruined for you:
