OPQ Helper

Orbis PQ is a rite of passage for most players, and it has one of the most useful exclusive rewards among all PQs (Goddess Wristband).

However, while many players want to participate, not many are eager to lead due to the notorious weight puzzle in Sealed Room.

As such, I was inspired to create:
Sparrow's OPQ Helper
Direct link: https://orbis-pq-helper.vercel.app/

The main part of the app is the Sealed Room solver, which uses a simple 3-test method, instead of the usual same-vs-different chart which is confusing for many.
Do each test, press a button after each one, and the only possible remaining solutions are shown.
No need to stress over the puzzle logic, and you are guaranteed to solve within 6 or 7 attempts, ensuring 0 fails.

Spoiler: How the Sealed Room solver works

The app uses a simplified 3-test method. Players only need to run these three tests:
5-0-0
4-1-0
4-0-1
For each test, Eak will say either 0 platforms or 1 platform.
Those results uniquely determine the remaining checks.

Case 1
5-0-0 → 1 platform
4-1-0 → 1 platform
4-0-1 → 0 platforms
This confirms that: Right platform is 0
Therefore, the remaining solutions must be:
3-2-0
2-3-0
1-4-0
0-5-0

Case 2
5-0-0 → 1 platform
4-1-0 → 0 platforms
4-0-1 → 1 platform
This confirms that: Middle platform is 0
Therefore, the remaining solutions must be:
3-0-2
2-0-3
1-0-4
0-0-5

Case 3
5-0-0 → 0 platforms
4-1-0 → 0 platforms
4-0-1 → 1 platform
This confirms that: Middle platform is not 1 and not 1, and Right platform is 1
Therefore, the remaining solutions must be:
2-2-1
1-3-1
0-4-1

Case 4
5-0-0 → 0 platforms
4-1-0 → 1 platform
4-0-1 → [redundant check]
This confirms that: Middle platform is 1
Therefore, the remaining solutions must be:
3-1-1
2-1-2
1-1-3
0-1-4

Case 5
5-0-0 → 0 platforms
4-1-0 → 0 platforms
4-0-1 → 0 platforms
This confirms that: Middle platform is not 0 and not 1, and Right platform is not 0 and not 1
Therefore, the remaining solutions must be:
1-2-2
0-2-3
0-3-2

With 5 players and 3 platforms, these are exactly 21 possible solutions.
If you check the solutions above, there are 4 + 4 + 3 + 4 + 3 = 18 unique solutions. Add on the initial 3 tests and you get 21!

In other words, once you know the results of 5-0-0, 4-1-0, and 4-0-1, the puzzle is fully determined and the remaining checks follow a fixed order.
The app simply performs this logic automatically so you don't need to memorise the chart.

Shoutout to Yeon who helped me to figure out and verify this method!

Besides being a solver, it is also designed to be a 1-stop cheatsheet for leading OPQ.
It does not teach you everything about OPQ. For that, I highly recommend Hondony's Orbis Party Quest Guide.
However, once you know how to run the PQ, this app should be all you ever need!
If you are a returning player, this app should also be sufficient to pick up the PQ again easily.

As usual, all feedback and suggestions are 100% welcome. Please feel free to share any ideas you have or report any bugs encountered!

P.S.: Thank you to my Autumn guildies for joining in the screenshots!~

 

Can I request for this to be moved to "Guides > (Party) Quests" section?

 

Thank you for the valuable feedback and suggestion! I have updated the Lobby and Storage sections accordingly.
