📋 About This Mod
The sheer number of temples you need to complete in regular gameplay has made "solving" the puzzle extremely dull.
I did a basic hex edit of the script sbringpuzzlenewscript.pex to change the number of required rings to hit in the temple puzzle from five to one.
To manually install, make sure it ends up in the game directory as Data\scripts\sbringpuzzlenewscript.pex. If the Data\scripts directory does not already exist, create it.
If your save file is within the temple chamber, you will likely either need to leave and re-enter or wait until the next temple puzzle for the modified version of the script to take effect.
Short Temple Puzzles is a simple hex edit by gibbed that reduces the required rings to hit in temple puzzles to one. With 2,614 endorsements and 90,163 downloads, it's a popular quality-of-life tweak for players who find the original puzzles tedious. Last updated in October 2023.
