One reason for the lack of in-game music in The Witness may be the sound based puzzles that require keen listening skills to determine each solution. The Jungle is one of the puzzle locations that incorporate audio clues. Follow our The Jungle Puzzle Solution Walkthrough for all the help you need.

The Witness - The Jungle Puzzle Solution Walkthrough

The Jungle Puzzles are relatively short in comparison to the previous puzzle locations, but utilizes a unique mechanic nevertheless. We suggest you complete the Monastery Puzzle first, so that you can access a shortcut door within the Jungle later on. Completing this brief puzzle set will activate a new light beam for The Jungle.

Since the Jungle requires careful listening, we recommend that you either turn up the game volume or wear headphones while you play this section. Start at the front of the Monastery, and head right towards the lush trees to locate the beginning path into the Jungle.

At the start of the footpath, look down to find two audio recordings on the ground, one on the left and one on the right. Click on the recorders to listen to them.

Walk along the footpath to enter the Jungle, and locate a stone staircase on your left. Take a few steps up the stairs, then look to the right. There will be a hidden path between the rocks that leads to the first set of puzzles.

The first puzzle panel is found just beside a speaker box, which indirectly acts as a clue that this puzzle is audio based. As you approach the puzzle panel, you will hear a quick few bird chirps. The goal is to solve the puzzle based off of the different pitches in the sounds you hear. Try to distinguish the difference between the high, mid-range, and low pitch sound patterns. Check out our solutions to the first three puzzles below if you need a hint.

Follow the footpath back down to the base of the hill, and turn right toward a large tree near the entrance to the Jungle. You should see the wire from the previous panel coming through the trees to a new puzzle panel.

The audio in this puzzle set will contain distracting noises to confuse you. Focus on the bird chirps on the first panel, and try not to instinctively reach for your phone. If a sound doesn’t seem to fit one of the puzzles, try focusing on another sound to determine the solution. These four panel solutions are shown below.

Circle around the large tree to the left of these panels to return to the footpath entrance. Ascend the stone staircase once more, but this time continue up the stairs to reach another sandy footpath near a waterfall. Keep to the left until you find the illuminated wire strung through the trees, leading to a new panel. Activating the line on the panel causes a wall to come up and block the path. Looks like you need to find another way back down.

Continue along the footpath until you reach a gate on the side of the Monastery. To open this gate, use the edges of the large rocks nearby as your clue. With proper alignment, the gate is fairly simple to open. Pass through the side garden of the Monastery and head down the front stairs to reach the Jungle entrance.

Head up the stone staircase once again, toward the waterfall where you activated the blockade. Here you will find a new set of audio puzzles on the back side of the blockade wall. These puzzles feature dots of different sizes on the puzzle graph.

The different sized dots represent the pitch of the sounds you hear. Large dots represent a low pitch, while small dots represent a high pitch. The different high and low pitches you hear in a given sound pattern indicate the order in which the dots should be crossed. If you need guidance, refer to the solutions below.

Now, all you need to do is locate and activate the light beam. Follow the pink wire from the last puzzle set along a footpath to the right. The wire ends as you reach a large boulder that splits the path in two directions.

Take the path to the left, hugging the left side of the bamboo jungle. When you reach the twisted tree, look for a tiny gap in the bamboo on the left along the path you were on.

Enter the gap and continue up the path. If you can see the stony crags above the waterfall, you are almost there. Continue along the path to the left and you will eventually discover the light beam box. Activate the Jungle light beam, then exit through the door on the right.
