After you do the necessary steps above, here’s how the puzzle might look like:

And here we get to the complex part. The puzzle will look different for everyone (technically it can repeat for some people, but my point is that yours will most likely NOT look exactly like the one above). The puzzle also resets and changes every 12 hours, so better do it in one sitting before it changes.

Your goal here is to play cards from your hand on the 0/1 “?” minion in the middle of your board. In the right order, of course. The cards in your hand represent different minion types, in this order:

1 – Demons
2 – Mechs
3 – Elementals
4 – Beasts
5 – Pirates
6 – Dragons
7 – Quilboars
8 – Totems
9 – All (Amalgams)
0 – Murlocs (technically it’s the 10th card, but for the sake of the code it’s 0)

Now, there’s a hard and an easy way to do it. The hard way is counting everything yourself, the easy way is using a Google Docs spreadsheet prepared by the folks at Discord that will calculate everything for you. I’ll post a harder way below, but I really do recommend the spreadsheet, it leaves less room for error.

• Open This Spreadsheet
• Make your own copy of it (File -> Create Own Copy) or just save it to your desktop. This part is necessary so you can edit it.
• Enter the attack and health of all the opponent’s minions under Part 1. Do the same thing for tribes (use corresponding numbers and not tribe names).
• Two of the minions on your board (on the left and right of “?”) are exact copies of the ones on your opponent’s board. Enter their positions on your opponent’s board under Part 2.
• Now Part 3 should be filled correctly. You need to play cards from your hand in that order targeting your middle (?) minion. E.g. if it’s Mechs, All, Murlocs, Demons, then you need to play 2nd, 9th, 10th, and 1st card from your hand.
• If you fail, a ??? card will appear on the left. It means that you can no longer continue and you have to restart the puzzle.
• If you keep failing, double-check all the data and make sure that you play the correct cards in the correct order.

And if you want to do it the hard way and calculate everything yourself, you will find the solution below. Again, the solution was provided by people from WoW Secret Finding Discord – a massive shoutout to them!

Puzzle #2, Part 2

Finally, it’s the last part! Here, you no longer need to create any decks, because you will be taken to it right after finishing Part 1 of the second puzzle. If you wish, you can continue using the spreadsheet I’ve linked above, but this part is the same for everyone, so no further calculations are needed (so the solution posted below is just as good).

Just like last time, you need to use cards from your hand on your middle “?” minion, in the right order. There are five “codes” you need to input. Here are the codes:

1. Your board should start as 703/319 Dragon and 260/820 Pirate. The code you need to input is: 2913997 (Mechs, All, Demons, Elementals, All, All, Quilboars).
2. Your board should turn into 880/663 Amalgam and 976/366 Mech. The code you need to input is: 7605218 (Quilboars, Dragons, Murlocs, Pirates, Mechs, Demons, Totems).
3. Your board should turn into 431/499 Demon and 354/584 Pirate. The code you need to input is: 2372358 (Mechs, Elementals, Quilboars, Mechs, Elementals, Pirates, Totems).
4. Your board should turn into 384/988 Elemental and 648/110 Quilboar. The code you need to input is: 6190849 (Dragons, Demons, All, Murlocs, Totems, Beasts, All).
5. Your board should turn into 787/28 Pirate and 647/304 Amalgam. The code you need to input is: 8747787 (Totems, Quilboars, Beasts, Quilboars, Quilboars, Totems, Quilboars).
6. Congratulations! The puzzle is finished!

Originally, this puzzle was meant to be much more difficult – players from all around the world would need to work together to solve it by creating a massive chain of boards from Part 1 of the second puzzle. The boards would overlap and create a long sequence (nearly 300,000 minions in total) that would need to be fully input into one source and, based on that, the solution would have been found (it was more complicated than that, but that’s the gist of it). However, believe it or not, Chinese players have found the right input codes in the game’s logs. It would probably take weeks if not months to solve if not for that. While we got “lucky” this time, normally it would be impossible to do so quickly. The next puzzle we get (assuming we get more in the future) might be way, way harder.

Anyway, that’s all! If you got all the way here, you can now claim your achievement and enjoy your new, shiny card back!
