You glance behind your reflection. The serpent seems to be heading left.

> Right

The serpent sways and heads left.

It tries to nip at you as it passes, but you're already too far away. It has to loop back around and come after you from another angle.

> Up

The serpent sways and heads right.

It nips at you as it passes, dealing 13 damage, but has to loop around and come after you from another angle. You feel yourself slowing down, though, as the poison courses through your veins… your reflection's veins?

The serpent's close now. It's hard to tell where it might be going with it so close to your reflection, but you see the serpent is slithering mostly up and to the left.

> Down

The serpent heads left but it was just a feint. It coils and lunges right instead.

Unfortunately, that's exactly where your reflection was running. Your world goes dark as the serpent's jaws close around your reflection.

You take 7 damage.

You're pretty beaten up. You can't make it any further without resting.

A piece of glass falls from your mirror. Hmmmm, hopefully that wasn't important.

solution attempt for 1-10,

DerMagus 24 Jul 2011 11:19

Go always in reference to the snake's direction (worked for me 6 times in a row without fail, notably did not get extra empty shards?)

1) opposite
2) Counter-clock-wise (CCW)
3) opposite
4) ccw
5) clock-wise (CW)
6) ccw
7) opposite
8) ccw [snake is close now]
9) cw of BOTH directions (i.e. up and left => go right)
10) ccw of BOTH
11) guess?

Theories from DoctrZombie

Magnifico 26 Jul 2011 14:30

DISCLAIMER: I have not yet had a chance to play the snake minigame. This is pretty much a direct transcription of what DrZ said in chat. I know what he says is well-supported by reams of meticulously-collected spreadsheet data, but since I can't test it out for myself I feel weird about adding it directly to the page.

The snake always follows the same paths. I use the word pathS because there's breaks in it. Every time you get the message about it moving like a Metros train, and the word "SCORE!" in the text, the path "breaks," but it breaks in the same places, so there's a small, limited number of "paths"

If you "stand your ground" you start the next run in the tunnels at the same exact spot. Therefore, if you've become poisoned by the snake by running in a path adjacent to it and it manages to nip you… unless you can positively 100% determine which path the snake will take next, you should stand, rest, cure the venom, and re-enter…

The snake's message indicates if it is lying by 25% (adjacent) or 50%(opposite)—this can be recorded for next time… "feint" is 50% (R to L, U to D), "sway" is 25% (R to U or D) and it always "sways" in the same direction per turn (in my run anyway). For example, turn 13 with a score on 7 and 12 is a +25% sway, meaning D is L, L is U, U is R, and R is D.

Unfortunately, if the snake is listing 2 directions (right or left), you don't know which is the real direction…. that's where Perception comes in. For each 10 perception, you get 1 "turn" of "1 direction".

I'm guessing reflexes factors into not getting nipped when adjacent, but I have no proof.

I don't have proof of this yet, but it's totally possible that the "SCORE!" message doesn't cause a break in the pattern; it just SKIPS one turn, which makes sense, since the snake is "coiling through the tunnels at reckless speed".

Later he said that he thinks the "SCORE" moves still advance you one space.

EDIT: More info from DrZ

The direction of the sway dosn't change, so if you get 2 directions (U and L) and the snake sways and goes R, you know the sway is +25% (U went to R) and the snake will say so as well "the serpent heads Up, but sways at the last moment and heads right instead." That's consistent…so if you know a specific turn is a +25 sway, and the snake says it's going U and L, you KNOW the target is either U or R. (L to U, U to R) so you should go L or D. The worst you can get is nipped. Combine this with the 50% "feint" zone, and no matter what happens if you know the direction the snake is moving, you can't get killed.

So, if everyone hates me forever, that's fine, but standing your ground and getting eaten is supposed to reset your progress. It's fixed now, sorry about that.

Some messages that don't seem to be up yet:

The serpent lunges left, coiling through the tunnels at a reckless speed. The mirror shakes like a Metros train is passing right beneath your feet.

On the bright side, it whizzes right past your reflection. Score!

In the distance, you can see an apple tree swaying violently, hurling its fruit in every direction. Well, at least it's not just your mirror and windows shaking so hard they sound like they're going to break… more.

You glance behind your reflection. The serpent seems to be heading left.

This allows you to get one reflected apple next time you pick "Go for the apples" at the Leafy Tree.

The serpent lunges right, coiling through the tunnels at a reckless speed. The mirror shakes like a Metros train is passing right beneath your feet.

With the poison coursing through its veins, your reflection just can't hope to outdistance the serpent.

Thankfully, it charges entirely past your reflection, but its whip-like tail opens a bleeding wound in your reflection's back… gah, and yours as well, for 28 damage.

You've earned 2 XP in Perception

This was when I was already poisoned, even though I picked the right direction to avoid the snake.

EDIT: Going all serpent-y and having serpent knuckles, scaled vest and scaled pants equipped with Serpent Strike in my deck did not seem to open up any new options.

Okay, there are tunnel sections yeah? And in the tunnel section the Serpent can either a cue towards one direction or, further along in the minigame, cue towards two directions or even further along the minigame where it cues no directions. Blind run at that point.

Turns out, the number of tunnel sections you can see the Serpent clearly cuing one direction is the square root of your buffed perception +1. Same for the number of tunnel sections for how long you can see the Serpent cuing two directions. Except for a few times where the minigame apparently bugs out for some reason. Need to talk to Kinak about those.

You can look at the logs above for my data. Or you can check out this compressed data I've made.

serpent cues data

Perception: 7 (10) = 4 tunnel sections of one direction cue
Perception: 8 (11) = 4 tunnel sections of one direction cue 4 of two directional cues
Perception: 9 (17) = 5 tunnel sections of one direction cue 5 of two directional cues
Perception: 11 (19) = 5 tunnel sections of one direction cue
Perception: 14 (19) = 5 tunnel sections of one direction cue 5 of two directional cues
Perception: 12 (20) = 5 tunnel sections of one direction cue
Perception: 19 (22) = 5 tunnel sections of one direction cue 5 of two directional cues
Perception: 13 (23) = 5 tunnel sections of one direction cue 5 of two directional cues
Perception: 15 (25) = 6 tunnel sections of one direction cue 5 of two directional cues?!
Perception: 16 (26) = 6 tunnel sections of one direction cue
Perception: 19 (29) = 6 tunnel sections of one direction cue 6 of two directional cues
Perception: 20 (30) = 6 tunnel sections of one direction cue
Perception: 21 (31) = 6 tunnel sections of one direction cue
Perception: 22 (32) = 6 tunnel sections of one direction cue 6 of two directional cues
Perception: 24 (34) = 6 tunnel sections of one direction cue
Perception: 25 (35) = 6 tunnel sections of one direction cue 6 of two directional cues
Perception: 26 (36) = 7 tunnel sections of one direction cue at least
Perception: 27 (37) = 7 tunnel sections of one direction cue at least
Perception: 28 (38) = 7 tunnel sections of one direction cue at least
Perception: 29 (39) = 7 tunnel sections of one direction cue
Perception: 30 (40) = 7 tunnel sections of one direction cue at least
Perception: 31 (41) = 7 tunnel sections of one direction cue 7 of two directional cues
Perception: 33 (43) = 7 tunnel sections of one direction cue at least

The serpent lunges up, coiling through the tunnels at a reckless speed. The mirror shakes like a Metros train is passing right beneath your feet.

On the bright side, it whizzes right past your reflection. Score!

In the distance, you can see an apple tree swaying violently, hurling its fruit in every direction. Well, at least it's not just your mirror and windows shaking so hard they sound like they're going to break… more.

The serpent's close now. It's hard to tell where it might be going with it so close to your reflection, but you see the serpent is slithering mostly up and to the right.

The serpent heads right but sways at the last moment and heads up instead.

It tries to nip at you as it passes, but you're already too far away. It has to loop back around and come after you from another angle.

It nips at you as it passes, dealing 15 damage, but has to loop around and come after you from another angle. You feel yourself slowing down, though, as the poison courses through your veins… your reflection's veins?

With the poison coursing through its veins, your reflection just can't hope to outdistance the serpent.

Thankfully, it charges entirely past your reflection, but its whip-like tail opens a bleeding wound in your reflection's back… gah, and yours as well, for 28 damage.
