The Lights Out Puzzle with Three Settings Answer: A Nightmare Come True

As I ventured deeper into the Power Plant dungeon in Mega Man Battle Network 1, I was met with a series of challenges that tested my patience and sanity. One such challenge was the infamous lights out puzzle, which had three settings to choose from. However, this puzzle was not as simple as it seemed.

The first issue I encountered was that the PET battery would drain exponentially faster than usual, leaving me with limited time to figure out the solution. This made the experience even more frustrating, as I was already struggling to navigate the dungeon due to its invisible majority. Yes, you read that right - most of the dungeon was invisible, making it difficult for me to find my way.

But that wasn't all. As MegaMan's HP began to dwindle, his automatic health restoration ceased, adding another layer of difficulty to the puzzle. The combination of these gimmicks made the experience feel like a Jenga tower of turds - one wrong move and everything would come crashing down.

In retrospect, I'm grateful for the use of savestates during my playthrough. Without them, I would have had to endure an even more grueling experience. However, I do wish I had recorded the audio at a higher volume, as my screams of frustration were muffled due to concerns about disturbing others.

The puzzle culminated in a 'certain event' that left me seething with anger before I realized what was happening. Needless to say, this dungeon has left a lasting impact on my gaming experience, and I'll never forget the horrors I faced within its walls.

To give you an idea of just how terrible this experience was, I've included a 'highlights reel' featuring audio commentary and screenshots from my playthrough. While it's been years since I played the game, I'm sure the Power Plant remains as challenging and infuriating today as it was back then.

In fact, I'm still hesitant to LP Mega Man Battle Network 1 solely because of this dungeon. The background music is still seared into my brain, and I can recall the various enemies and their characteristics with ease. It's a testament to just how impactful this experience was on me.

Despite being willing to LP other games in the series, such as Mega Man Battle Network 4, the Power Plant remains an insurmountable hurdle for me. Its combination of gimmicks, limited resources, and sheer frustration has left an indelible mark on my gaming psyche.
