Since it can be a bit confusing at first, navigating the island, here is a LINK to a map of the island. Assuming you're going to actually play the game, I recommend tackling the areas in roughly the following order: Since this is an open world game, you can theoretically complete the areas in any order if you use a guide to bypass having to learn the various concepts in the game.

Because the game is an open world, you're almost guaranteed to come across puzzles that use concepts you haven't learned yet, but don't get frustrated, just keep exploring to find more puzzle areas and tutorials.Īs far as achievements go, they are very straightforward. There is no narrative or dialogue in The Witness, so you have to learn new puzzle concepts by finding tutorial areas throughout the game. The difficulty ramps up with different restrictions being put on the puzzle such as shapes you have to draw, squares you have to keep separate, etc. The Witness puzzles have a very simple concept: draw a line from point A to point B.
