Puzzle【Field】
You’ll be taken to a dedicated puzzle map where each round gives you a Scarecrow prompt.
Your goal is to look at the positions and appearance of the male and female scarecrows, figure out which one matches the clue, and pull out its nail.
When you choose correctly, the scarecrow you freed will point in the direction you need to go next. Follow it and repeat this process five times to clear the puzzle.
If you make it through all five rounds without a single mistake, you’ll unlock an Achievement.
Scarecrow #1
One Scarecrow is facing a completely different direction from the others.
It’s looking downward, so this one is easy to spot.
Scarecrow #2
This one can be tricky, since you’re choosing between two options.
The correct answer is the female Scarecrow without a sickle in her hand.
Scarecrow #3
One Scarecrow’s sailor uniform scarf is a different color from the others. It’s easier to confirm this from behind.
The correct answer is the Scarecrow with the red scarf.
Scarecrow #4
It’s easier to show than explain, so refer to the image below.
Scarecrow #5
I honestly picked this one on instinct. It’s easier to understand by looking at the image.
Scarecrow #1
What’s going on here?
When facing the target Scarecrow head-on, the correct answer is the female Scarecrow standing further behind it.
Scarecrow #2
I basically guessed this one and somehow got it right.
Scarecrow #3
This one was fairly obvious. Every male Scarecrow is facing a female Scarecrow — except for one lonely girl who’s left out. That outcast is the correct answer.
Scarecrow #4
Most of them are smiling creepily, but there’s one female Scarecrow staring with a genuinely intimidating face.
She’s glaring straight at another female Scarecrow. Huh. So that’s how we’re doing this…
Scarecrow #5
There seem to be a couple of candidates here, like the game is forcing a 50/50 choice.
Don’t get fooled by the supposed “smile.” Just pick the Scarecrow whose look best matches the scene described in the hint.
It was basically brute force at this point.
Scarecrow #1
No idea. Seriously.
Scarecrow #2
Looks like something was yanked out of it. That’s the only clue you get.
Scarecrow #3
Just follow the direction the fallen male Scarecrow’s body is pointing toward. The answer is waiting there.
Scarecrow #4
Scarecrow #5
Just go in the direction pointed by the Scarecrow lying flat on the ground, like some dramatic commander who fell mid-speech.
Keep hopping from one of these “fallen guides” to the next, and you’ll eventually find a female Scarecrow with Hinako-style hair all the way across the field.
