Jesus christ, who designed this one

Whoever it was, fired that [censored], and redesign this one, into something actually doable

Sigh

Took a while but I managed it

@drenus Worst part of the game, brings things to a fingernails-on-the-blackboard screeching halt. It'd be fine if it wasn't required for trophy like the drinking game...

*even louder more dramatic sigh*

Agreed this is what broke me on doing side stuff on this game was just gonna beeline to the end but another bug (mari lwyn cloak glitch) put a stop to that

@drenus Is that the one you have to stack to the ionosphere?

@jcar4327

don't remember anymore, it was just the shapes and sizes of stones on this one, that made it a [censored] nightmare

it was the only one, that i didn't manage to finish within a couple of tries, so i guess i was lucky

I stacked all 7 half rounded rocks.
Twice because I thought this was another glitch when it was stacked perfectly and nothing happened.
All the time thinking of the old assessment center joke, "stack three spheres, and who tries it has failed".
And only then found out there is an almost invisible ellipse way up showing you have to stack at least one length wise ?!?

Did you playtest it?
Did your testers manage to do it?
How much fun did they feedback you?
Or let me guess - you gave them the whole game and they just did the story, huh?

Did the frigging game director stack them?

Yeah, fire that dude, along with the animus anomaly designer.

Seriously.
Ubisoft should release a patch REMOVING these stupid cairn stacking games from AC.
This will be remembered as the MOST HATED activity in the whole franchise.

Listen to your customers, Ubi: PATCH THEM CAIRN OUT !!
No more cairn stones, if you want to continue selling AC titles, because cairn stacking is a DIRTY and LOUSY way of keeping players logged !!

I just spent 3 hours on this one and still could not do it, not even with videos.... I also quick saved in between and still could not do it.
For me all of these points came together:

• Console controls not as fine as PC controls it seems for the Cairn
• got really motion sick after trying it for the Xth-time due to the controls and how you need to turn the camera all the time
• the sun shining in the background blocked the view quite alot
• the wind(?) blew over 2 heavy stones - HOW?!?

Please lower the height you need for this, give us better stones or just remove this Cairn.
I have not rage quit a single player game since the era of save points instead of auto-saves....
I'm 32 yo and just spent hours of my free day off to try this Cairn...

@dancing_dragon

they were all fairly easy to be honest. 2 took me roughly 10minutes to complete and those 10minute were annoying as [censored].

@asgardian02 yes the other ones were "ok" but two one of them being the Ingelborg ones where just MF hard.
It took me 5 more tries after I wrote the post and then I finally got them.
