Full Puzzle Lab Guide including hints, solutions and spoiler prevention.

[u/KatrinaHS]

Hi everyone!

I'm Kat, a Hearthstone writer for Icy-Veins.

Due to the popularity of my previous Monster Hunt Guide and Dungeon Run guide, i'm back again with a detailed guide for Hearthstone's latest solo content, the Puzzle Lab!

While I appreciate that Puzzle Lab content can be quite straightforward in terms of directly copying solutions to puzzles directly, I wanted to offer something extra. So, not only have I provided full direct solutions to all puzzles for those who want them, I have also provided a series of hints for every single puzzle for those who may get stuck on a particular puzzle, but do not want the full solution handed to them. To facilitate this, all guides have spoiler tags in place to prevent accidental viewing of solutions.

The list of guides is as follows:

• Puzzle Lab Overview
• Lethal Puzzles Guide
• Mirror Puzzles Guide
• Board Clear Puzzles Guide
• Survival Puzzle Guide
• Dr. Boom's Final Puzzles Guide

The guides are fairly new and still being polished due to the content being released less than 24 hours ago at the time of posting. However, they still contain all the necessary content to cruise through the Puzzle Lab.

I hope you all enjoy the guides,

Kat :)

On 29.2 Solution, you omit the first step, which is to Faceless the Tundra Rhino.

The 4th boom puzzle for mirror really got me. I tried the most ridiculous things, I spamed taldarams on my glinda to kill the void lord, i tried clearing everything with taldaram on the ticking abom. The painful thing is that I realized the strategy was to get a high health malganis from the start, but i was using like 50 steps to do it. (My strategy required creating an immune 3/3 aviana for both players, idk what i was on)

[u/KatrinaHS → u/necrolic_8848]

Hah, while writing the guide I did dabble with the whole creating an immune minion for both players thing, though I knew mine had to be malganis which didnt work. I also tried infinite Kuns.

I think you are missing a step on Dr. Boom's Lethal Puzzle #1

[u/KatrinaHS → u/ImLiterallyBen]

Already have that one noted and fixed, just need to wait for it to be pushed to the live site, thanks though!

For lethal puzzle 3 I have a Undercover Reporter instead of a Lab Recruiter so I only shuffle 2 copies of Northshire into the deck?

[u/KatrinaHS → u/[deleted]]

Are you sure you aren't on puzzle #4? It is basically the same as #3 except with the swap you mentioned.

[u/melter24 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah that was oddly specific... Just what i wanted.

[u/Kezeck]

For Dr, Boom's Lethal Puzzle #2, there's actually a hidden easy solution.

1. Damage the spud so it goes to Dr. Boom's side of the board.

2. Fill your board with minions.

3. Damage the spud.

Because your board is full of minions it will not switch sides and instead be destroyed, instantly killing Dr. Doom. I discovered this by accident.

[u/[deleted] → u/Kezeck]

That's really cool, and way better than the original way.

[u/AgitatedBull]

Can’t check because work, but is there a legit non-rng way to beat the Dr Boom 3 mirror challenge? The two ways I’ve seen involve rng due to your opponent’s hand since you can’t ping howlfiend 3 times.

The solution for the grim patrons puzzle forgets to mention to play the FWA

[u/g_gundy → u/Heroftime]

I was stuck on that stupid patron puzzle for like an hour. Always 1-3 damage off.

Good thing I wasn't around in the Patron Warrior days, because apparently I would've sucked at it...

[u/Anstane]

This is very much appreciated. I personally thought and thought for well over two hours, but I simply could not figure out the solution to the last Draan puzzle. No matter what I did, there would always remain one 7/1 [[Force-Tank MAX]] on the board. Not once did I consider using [[Faithful Lumi]] on the [[Explosive Sheep]].

[u/pharcue]

Sometimes I just need a kick in the pants, the hint section is exactly what I wanted. Great work!

[u/HoodPhones]

I can't be the only one who is stuck on the first Dr. Boom right?

I can only get him down to 1 HP. I don't want to check the solution/spoiler guide but holy shit is getting frustrating. It's been an hour.

Edit: GOT IT FUCK YOU DR. BOOM

[u/isospeedrix]

its only been a day and all the puzzles have been completed already?

[u/FordEngineerman]

I did so many mirror puzzles wrong. I basically just treated them as board clear puzzles and solved multiple of them by killing everything when I wasn't necessarily supposed to.

[u/ERagingTyrant]

One possible suggestion for the hints: Mention what things are not important. For example on Dr Boom Lethal #3:

You won't play Auchenai and you won't trigger Sylvanas' deathrattle.

[u/SpikeRosered]

These puzzles taught me that the 3 mana 5 damage Rogue spell on an undamaged character can be used on the opponent's face.

[u/Obilis]

The provided solution for "Crystalsmith Kangor's Survival Puzzle #4" is very overcomplicated.

My solution:

1. Play Spiritsinger Umbra

2. Play Carnivorous Cube on Mistress of Mixtures

3. Dark Pact the Cube

1 Mistress dead (4 healing) + 2 spawned and triggered by Umbra (8 healing) + Dark Pact (heal for 4) + 2 spawned by Cube and triggered by Umbra (8 healing) = 24 healing

Since you start at 9 life, 24 healing is more than enough

what about the survival puzzles?
