Who can beat this Scry? A challenge for you (screenshots)

marshill88

Leveling up my Scry is a little boring, so I decided to challenge myself. I am shooting for a perfect Scry, clearing all hexes. Here is my best so far, it is -3. I am aiming for 0, a perfect score. I'll be back when I get it. What is your best?

marshill88

Another -3. This is really hard to do, and if you don't think it is, try it! The hardest part is that your final click must both finish off all hexes and be the last focal point at the same time.

I've gotten all focal points in 1 move many times but never tried to blanket the board like this...I imagine it's pretty easy to do on a blue lead with all perks

I'm kinda exhausted with scrying after grinding my way thru it all to get the secret gold coin but I'll have to try now after you threw down the challenge lol.
I didn't mean to poop on your accomplishment with my comment before

ahh, no worries mate, can't wait to hear back from your efforts. I"m a guy who really loves chess, and i think it's quite a challenge.

ha funny you say that because I loathed scrying at first until I looked at it like chess or a puzzle..now Ì'm a "master historian"

marshill88

normal scrying is so easy, it is almost a joke to me. when you try a perfect scry, however, it is much more satisfying to grind because its so difficult.

marshill88

although I should say I do not yet have "pre-emptive power" unlocked (I'm level 8) so I don't know what that would do to the challenge of it.

marshill88

Woo Hoo! Look at this ladies and gentlemen! A perfect Scry! Who else can do this? Let's see it.

This is one of those things that's obscure and pointless and I love it a lot!

Congrats on the perfect scry! I'm definitely gonna try this.

Thanks for the weird idea, fellow nerd! haha

I think there was originally (on PTS) an achievement for clearing the entire board but ZOS realized how crazy head-smashing that would be and scrapped it.

Nice to know it's possible if you are that crazy, though.

I'm curious how mu

oh it is definitely possible, i have come close so many times, I just knew it could be done. I don't even have "pre-emptive power" unlocked yet (lvl 8). I confess, when I finally got all the hexes, I was really hoping for some kind of achievement, bummer!

Aww, I wish they’d kept that achievement! I’m going to try for it anyway!

marshill88

I guess I'm the only one I know doing this, but here is another perfect scry.. I still do not have pre-emptive power, I imagine it would be a bit easier with that skill unlocked. This challenge makes the grind of scrying kind of fun.

omnidoh

Yeah, no.
If there were some incentive to getting a "perfect score", then maybe.

marshill88

Ok, I finally have something to share on a full, expert scry. Let's see someone beat this score of -8.
