Do you have to play The Witness twice to solve the last puzzle?
This whole question is a spoiler, so I ask it all hidden:
When you start the game, the tower at the exit gate of the first castle is glowing white, so you can solve that puzzle. But once you solve the puzzle to open the gate, it stops glowing and you cannot solve that puzzle any more and cannot finish the monolith in the village.C
Do I have to solve this puzzle right at the start to be able to solve the monolith in the village?
Or is there a way to reactivate the glowing gate-pole?
Best Answer
It seems, there is a solution within only one game run.
I saw the beginning of a Video, how you can solve the puzzle at the gate, to reactivate the glowing pole.
I don't want to spoil myself, so I didn't watch the whole solution myself either ;)

At the end, it leads you into a cage, and takes you to the beginning tunnel of the game, resetting the island's puzzles. A rather literal way of saying that the value of The Witness is in the journey, not the end \u2013 that figuring out these puzzles doesn't give a single concrete Truth.What happens at the end of The Witness game?
Maybe around 250 if you know exactly which ones you can skip to get to the regular ending. The reason why the answer isn't relevant for "normal" players, is that the game is not linear.Final secret puzzle of The Witness - Trophy Challenge
