EXCALIBUR PUZZLE BOX!! Level 10

foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] yo what's up guys and welcome back today a very very unique puzzle has come my way this puzzle is known as Excalibur now not the old Excalibur that we once solved not the one after that but a brand new one made by uh Philip black I found this on Etsy it ran pretty much over a grand which is a lot especially for a 3D printed puzzle now the last time I think we paid a thousand dollars for a 3D printed puzzle was the train puzzle and a lot of you thought that was overpriced uh so we'll see about this Philip is known for making really ingenious puzzle boxes but the bar is very high hopefully we can exceed that with this puzzle today also quick note October 16th 18th I will be hosting uh cardcon convention for playing card lovers like myself you guys want to check it out it's in Irvine californiacardcon.com for details without any further Ado ladies and gentlemen like this video subscribe and let's start solving Excalibur all right here we go I'm gonna be frank this isn't the prettiest puzzle I've ever seen this is by far perhaps uh one of one of the ugliest but um it looks like a lot of fun so don't judge a puzzle by what it looks like looks like it was painstakingly made I'm just not sure about the gr like this green could have been gray and I would have not said a word so the goal here is to find the Knight to find Excalibur get him out of here this is supposed to be water this texture is actually pretty cool you can kind of see through it says Excalibur it does actually look like water so first thing I noticed when I held this for the first time is I went like this and I was like what look at this you got multiple different uh different ways to go around the puzzle which is cool I mean it's got so many things going on here let's take a look at the back side here um basically I lost the instructions for this but the instructions were pretty clear there's no banging no spinning or hitting and every tool that you find here's a tool right here um every tool I mean works for something everything fits everywhere no Force required this button here oh looks like another small tool with some Arrow Arrow arrow and we've got this as well oh we've got more words all right let's see let's have a look around see what else just kind of pops out here a lot of things to look at a lot of things to play with snob doesn't turn door of course doesn't open ah got another one here all right so we've got some type of Cipher what looks to be maybe a puzzle an individual puzzle I like that that's cool I like the idea of incorporating a jigsaw puzzle into this let's see if we can find any more of these little hidden compartments here there's this at the top it doesn't seem to want to move anywhere lots of tiny Secrets another one here oh my God this one's a long one we just keep finding these I don't see any more all right so let's try to figure out what we got here before we move on we've got all of this and what the heck is that number one you turn this way times four number two this way times three so almost like a this is almost like maybe a combination lock in here or is it this one okay I'm guessing this has to be some type of puzzle piece we put together that looks like it might fit here one two three just like that maybe this this looks good right so one two three four five and then I'm guessing either this or this probably this all right we're missing a few uh new letters perhaps those will come later but for now we have this what is this you might ask well I have no idea I'm just gonna move things around okay there's this button here this button seems to push on the door and I think that's what's going to open the door eventually so we'll stop pressing on that button for now there's this giant Gap here just don't know what the letters and numbers mean right now oh this thing does turn but how do I know what's the top oh wait it unscrews we have our first tool uh and I think this looks like oh maybe here oh that's stuck now okay that is now start hope that goes there we'll try turning it four times this way almost opens foreign has to go there it's not meant for this okay so the arrows are it's just hard to see where it is I'm turning oh this arrow goes in here boom like that okay now we're at the top so this is the top it's hard to see where the arrow is okay we've given a little Mark here a little marking so now we know so it says five times this way four times this way three times this way two times this way then open oh okay so we know that that has to go in there maybe there's something else I have to do while turning this you think there's so many moving Parts in here in here is the piece that we need guaranteed oh felt a small resistance here there's like a clicking on the inside so I know that something's happening here hmm okay how is this supposed to be red am I supposed to ignore this one even if I did that I tried both because I don't know where the starting zero point is so let's say we're at zero okay we're gonna go all right now we're at zero we're gonna go one to three four one two three one two and then open found this on the other side so this here being one two three and four this goes there this goes there this goes here and from what I can tell this would end up going here now that doesn't really help us right now it gives us some type of Cipher I mean we can put this underneath if we like kind of like this now that Cipher doesn't really help us right now it's good to know right for now I think this is the only thing that can help us I think I guess to reset is this five and I put a little dot here so I know where the arrow is two and it should open this way and yet nothing it's puzzles like these that are a little bit frustrating because I'm never sure whether it is a mistake in the manufacturing or if it's my mistake and there's no real way of knowing uh and then I'm just kind of stuck here I have to keep trying the same thing over and over and over because nothing else uh is really available to move nothing nothing moves there is a small grade button on the inside of this however but it doesn't seem to do anything so I'm just kind of at the mercy of doing this for the rest of time I guess that's really frustrating really don't like that at all one two five one four three all right well after an hour playing around with us we're going to have a look and it's not something I enjoy doing definitely not something I enjoy doing but I do feel like this isn't my fault okay we've got it open we found the culprit a broken elastic now how does this have a look in there oh I see this is really a really clever mechanism though if you take a look so there are multiple Rings there are what looks like three rings and they're arranged in a sort of way where you have to line them up perfectly using I'm guessing this diagram here once that's lined up I guess the elastic was bound from here to here and it would cause pressure for this to go this way so when that's there let's see what happens with the lineup in there um because all the holes would have been lined up properly and then that would have happened so I mean that's a real bummer on the bright side we don't have to do that part of the puzzle anymore so what we're going to do is I'm going to put everything back minus the elastic so that then opens this releasing is he out he is out oh there he goes okay that is pretty cool that is pretty cool so this guy's got a little journey to make here I'm guessing where does he go there's he's kind of it's kind of a dead end here these pieces could shift Maybe is that a legal move can I do that this uh part of the maze has to shift this way I'm guessing I need some type of key is this my key okay well we're not going to force that part but he does look at him he's got an angry little Grimace on his face uh so that has to move okay interesting I think we need a part that goes here it allows us maybe a small key of some sort I think I don't think this is a key he specifically said every piece uh should fit properly where it's supposed to go It's gotta be it's got to be this here okay you wait in there for now and we're gonna try and figure this out and there's this and this is this should slide what key are we given these are all too small and I don't want to break them there's looks like another key here of some sort so it's not going to be not going to be this I'm guessing um is it on our night is it on Lance a lot here oh there we go maybe this is my key ah maybe flies are back on here yes precisely a key that we were missing key which we now have to enter here this is actually really a really cool part okay maybe this way even the key has a uh springed compartment in there it doesn't seem like it wants to turn uh okay well we know that that goes in there I mean it has to fits all the way nice and snug this key fit elsewhere maybe here oh why would that not turn right now is it being blocked by something else is it being blocked by whatever's in here key goes in here but it doesn't and there's a spring here but it doesn't turn oh there's a magnet in here put on my watch we have a magnet what does that mean [Music] aha we have at last that's really clever actually freed the night off for a joyride okay we are at a Crossroads now either we go right which brings us into The Nether or we go left all right I've just been sent the instructions uh find and free the night enable him to draw Excalibur from the pool help him to escape the kingdom well there's like a murky deep over here so I'm gonna avoid that for now and see if I can go well there's no way he can go here okay right not yet anyways okay so he has to go this way into nope sorry that's where it came from this way here into the murky deep here we go we'll see on the other side buddy arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times and he's gone oh he came out the other side that's like an actual magic trick that's pretty cool all right this way now we can either go here which brings us to here um that is blocked there's this uh there's a small lip there that prevents him from going that way and there are arrows pointing this way so we're going to try to take another route on your horse here and we'll go this okay that's where we came from I mean unless I go this way see it's stuck there as well this sweat nope stuck there as well wait there was a small gray button on the inside what does that do it's got to have something to do with one of these arrows okay okay that is where he came from can't go there can't go there how bizarre I thought for sure by pressing this little gray button on the inside which you can't see that it would drop down one of these arrows it is not the case and we're still left with this Cipher here which I don't know uh what that is for okay what if he just goes back in here and this I could eventually push back if I needed to foreign there we go so that would go back to there because eventually I'm pretty sure we'd have to overcome that route so for now we're back on the other side if we go here uh there's only one way we can go that is in the beginning and it is here however over here there's nothing I think he does have a little magnet right there and maybe that is something to do with something but there's just no getting him to the next point so that is an absolute dead end that is an absolute dead end we have to go down here and he lost his helmet I'm just gonna keep the helmet off because it seems to be a nuisance more than anything unless it's a tool unless his whole helmet is a tool I'd be very surprised if that was the case pleasantly so but it's still surprised nonetheless the only thing is is I could probably use one of these to like push this down and I can is that allowed is that what he mean because in the instructions it clearly says no tools to be used only those which the Box provides you can cheat by using the tools to poke things but honestly everything operates using something clearly designed for that so dot dot dot if it doesn't look like it's supposed to go in a particular hole it isn't all right what do you guys think I mean I clearly there is an easy way to get in there but we're not going to do that are we no we're not we've already opened this bad boy up once and we're not going to do that again also these things leaving here leads me to believe that this comes off somehow how that comes off I do not yet know but there is a seam here and there is a seam here so you can't go anywhere perspective oh duh I'm gonna go here and then haha he's made it to the other side okay so from here there's this whatever this little square here is ah what is this oh my God oh my goodness it's got a ring we've got a ring and we've got all these tools okay we'll get to that in a second so many things to discover right now including this ring which I guess goes here it doesn't really do anything yet yet uh and then we got this which I don't think we need right now if we go here brings us here what's this oh my God there's a button oh what the hell [Applause] oh cool oh my goodness oh my God is this the is this Excalibur here what is happening this is crazy okay wait we've got another place here to go to maybe we gotta press down here okay hold on now foreign s I'm sure has to do with this this looks like it fits in there it's a small square that goes in there aha it's a crank what is that doing what is that doing looks like it's affecting this somehow this little house here oh watch the house it rises are you kidding me this is crazy this is actually a really insane puzzle okay oh and then his boat comes he has to get into the boat no way seems to be stuck right there well let's see where he ends up now cause now [Music] so now I can go here here and now here bring him around here onto the boat you go [Music] okay we're gonna put him on the boat come on come on buddy [Applause] on the boat you go okay so now where do we find ourselves the boat let's go this way this is crazy stay on the boat you uh back on the boat all right oh I gotta go the other side I'm gonna go this way and now if I go here no that brings us there we don't want to go there what about here where does that bring us ah looks like it brings us into another button and go here and now it looks like we're missing some type of key that goes in here okay I don't want to go around there because then I have to go all the way back okay well that doesn't work and if I were to bring him here that as well needs to turn so I'm guessing he has to be here and I need whatever tool is required for this this is my next move here man this is crazy the amount of work that went into this is pretty insane Philip black you are a Madman okay putting this back together is going to be a nightmare won't worry about that right now I need a key for this and he has to make his way here eventually that's where the boat goes how do I get there here and here ah okay so hold on maybe get back on the boat oh no I'm stuck oh God enough to go all the way around I gotta go all the way around all right back in the cave you go he's out I gotta go back here uh oh man that is a journey and a half once he gets on Shore it's quite a task okay um back here I need the key again back on the other side back here um okay I have to take this road now I have to take this one go here drop myself off on this side turn it once again drop here now come on this side and now I need my boat get over here boat okay slide your butt on the boat go down here foreign all the way here oops fell over the edge all the way here wait that's just the same place like oh no I can go here okay so get back on the boat sorry go this way turn here up here oh around here and now the boat lands here and I guess I press down oh that almost took my eye out ladies and gentlemen Excalibur we've freed Excalibur okay now that that's done now I'm guessing we have to go Place Excalibur in that Keyhole which is here which means we have to go here on the second entrance so we're gonna go to the beginning I have to turn around I wish there was a little magnet here that would just stick his butt in there okay there uh and it's this one I want to get out at I want to get out here go here okay Excalibur there are two things I have to press here there's this guy and there's this guy but neither of these things do anything other than like they're both spring-loaded huh there we go it turns and what did that do did that turn yes it turned the other side okay okay we're getting somewhere all right we've made our way around again because we have to start over and we are back here now he gets off here oh ladies and gentlemen our treasure for solving Excalibur my oh my okay first of all I take back what I said this is not the ugliest puzzle this is grass this is water it makes complete sense to me now secondly I am still a bit bitter that this happened that being said if this can be fixed this puzzle is insane I mean what a journey this guy is I mean for all intents purposes Philip you are a genius this is completely ludicrous how you've managed to put all of these puzzles into one small coherent box the one thing we didn't figure out is this what is this eight of 99 8 of 99 but what are the letters and numbers for what was all this for ah are we looking for the word Arthur a r which is nine t h was which is three nine three you are which is seven nine three seven spells Arthur 937 I don't know where that 937 has to go and I've given it my all uh let me know if you guys have any ideas about what to do with this Cipher 937 Arthur not sure what to make of it um yeah thanks for watching my final thoughts coming up well hot dang there you go there you have it look at this this is Excalibur look at that I still don't know what the uh code is for that eluded me maybe you guys can help me out with that and maybe I'll reach out to Philip myself and ask him about it I thought that was very intriguing that it never came up so it did leave me a little confused final thoughts are yeah when that first part broke I felt terrible uh I felt terrible having to pry this puzzle open especially with the price tag that you're given it's not it's not a good time however once that part was uncovered and we started moving forward this puzzle quickly became one of my favorites I mean everything from the crank mechanism lifting up that boat house to the key being used to the ring uh to things flying out such as the sword or the coin at the end so many amazing surprises and what an incredible tiny little journey this man had to I mean I can't even imagine the work that goes into this so for those of you thinking it's still not worth the price I paid for it I beg to differ I think a lot more work goes into this than you or I could ever do to fit all that into a nice neatly packed puzzle that's this size and have so many things going on is a true true feat of Brilliance so I commend you on that Philip black only 99 of these ever made if you want to check it out on Etsy I left the link below but yeah those are my final thoughts hope you guys enjoyed this video if you did would appreciate if
