CREDIT goes to the Chinese. They used a computer algorithm to solve the problem, while the Americans all they could do was censor me in the discord group for saying it was solvable by hand. I honestly think blizzard is looking for new developers and this the test.

I can confirm this works. Thanks, together with the other 3 done I now have the cardback!

To anyone following this: OP sometimes mixed up some words (such as Ancient Scroll vs Arcane Scroll, and in 1 case saying you have Potions while you have Elixirs (or it was the other way around, so many steps that I forgot)), but if the type of item is similar and everything else checks out, it’s still going right.

Give credits to guy whiäo made this guide.

thx for the solution…this would be way too much maths for my brain…let alone figure out what to do without having the slightest idea of the goal

(yep my memory is unable to retain that many numbers at once)…even with a sheet that be a huge mess

EDIT: pewh…1 hour and bout 15 mins later finish with this bs

5

This one took me 4 goes, by simple misclicking. The guide could be much simpler by saying “Give X to minion Y” instead of "Trade X for Y (using minion Z).

For example, for the first section, the first few instructions could be simply;

  1. Give Gold to Master Swordsmith, then Armor Vendor
  2. Give Elixirs to Darkshire Alchemist
  3. Give Bandages to Balloon Merchant
  4. Give Lockets to Silver Hand Knight
    …

And so on.

Who did you play against in Inn Keeper?

7

The Priest is pretty slow to get going but can sometimes get a bit lucky with buffs. However, with the Druid puzzle, I fought the Paladin, since I could just Hero Power down the 1/1s.

In regards to the actual Puzzles themselves, your opponent’s class doesn’t matter.

You simply need to get the required cards in hand and hold out until turn 10/10 mana to play them all.

I found Shaman is the easiest. I did all 4 puzzle with 1st try. Just make sure you have enough hand space and play ONLY required cards then end your turn

Thank you both. Appreciated.

10

Also don’t hit the end turn button because it doesn’t count OR you need to do puzzle 1-3 first. Oof.

11

You should never hit the blank End Turn Button.
The Puzzle Hero Power either resets the puzzle (if incomplete) or completes it.

I find Warrior to be the easiest since it has a completely useless HP (even Priest’s HP can be annoying if it’s used to heal a damaged minion).

But all of them are easy. Simply fill your deck with 18-20 Taunts/Armor Vendor (the remaining 10-12 cards being 2 copies each of the cards you need, including Octobot for the Rogur challenge). Don’t have them be too cheap in mana: 2x Armor Vendor, 2x Annoy-O-Tron, 2x Lone Champion and 2x Sen’jin Shieldmasta (only mentioning Shieldmasta because it’s core) is plenty for 4 mana and lower. No easy-mode Innkeeper can break through that wall. Heck, you won’t even need Armor Vendor, I did all 4 battles with all 30 health remaining.

13

I did it against priest. The only concerns in that deck are core hounds and the berserker troll.

Note that you can use wild cards so emperor + drakkari makes rogue one easy.
