The 3 by 3 puzzle in Nightfall Bandit's Dungeon is something I find rather annoying. I don't like doing 3 by 3 puzzles, so today I was just going to ignore that until it timed out and move on with the dungeon.

I'm not complaining that there is a puzzle that I don't like in the game, or that it's too hard or anything. I've fought the boss behind it before. I just don't enjoy doing the puzzle enough to want to continue trying to do it. I'd rather miss one boss and move on with my run instead. Only.. when I ignored it entirely, clicking a few times to make sure it registered that I had started, something strange happened. I assumed when I came back from surfing the web for a while that the puzzle would time me out the next time I made a move. Instead.. it seemed to forget entirely about being timed. I closed it out, but was straight back at the door again with the puzzle waiting to be unscrambled.

Can I please just get a skip button on this door if its going to mess up to the point I can't even ignore it and wait? I shouldn't have to continually poke at it just for it to keep counting the time down. =/

It counts the number of turns. You have only a certain amount of clicks before you run out of time or something.

Yeah as Everlost said, it's based on the number of moves.

And you're right, while I like doing the puzzle a skip button would be really nice, just like the one in Forsaken.

This will be fixed when Viridian Meadows is revamped.

When you reach the 2nd dungeon, you will see that the puzzles are skip-able.
