Other fixes would include redesigning the puzzle altogether given this particular combination of people. in the liquor closet so we can make the connection that the bottle is potentially part of a larger puzzle (apart from the safe code) and that it can be opened/emptied so that Mandana can go inside it (much less of a stretch IMHO) A slightly larger fix: Give the player some item to open the bottle with and put it e.g. Allow Mandana to be used on the bottle, not only the bottle on Mandana.Ģ. In my opinion there are two quick fixes to make the puzzle better if you have Mandana on your party:ġ. The way you use the bottle on Mandana is awkward - you can only use the bottle on her but if you select her character from the inventory and use it on the bottle (I actually made the connection early on despite the points above) she says she has no clue what you want to achieve - even if it makes sense that SHE goes inside the bottle, not "you force the bottle on her".The bottle we have is corked and we have no item to open it - why would we assume that Mandana can go inside a sealed bottle (even though I think the bottle is somehow opened magically).The bottle we have is FULL, why would we assume a Jinn can go inside a full bottle (even if this is used for comedic effect later).We only see Mandana and Kalesh go into THEIR bottles, why would the player assume they can go into ANY bottle?.The player sees this happening ONCE at the very beginning of the game - the time separation is too great in my opinion. Relying on making a connection that Mandana can go into bottles is a major stretch due to the following reasons: you can place the bottle on the table but it does nothing (very confusing) and Eli suggests you should distract the golem so he can kill it (even though in the end he isn't the one to do so). The solution is really obnoxious if you only have Eli and Mandana on your team - the dialogue and options kinda push you in two directions taken from the OTHER solutions of the puzzle if you had a different combination of people on your team.
