Title: "Not Again: Seth Gamble's Pure Taboo" – Complete Guide to Mastering the Indian-Style Puzzle Adventure
Introduction
"Pure Taboo" by Seth Gamble is a culturally rich puzzle-adventure game that blends traditional Indian storytelling with modern gaming mechanics. This guide breaks down strategies, hidden clues, and cultural nuances to help players overcome "Not Again" mode, where challenges repeat with heightened difficulty.
1. Understanding the Core Mechanic: "Taboo Trials"
What is "Pure Taboo"?
Players must solve puzzles while avoiding "forbidden actions" tied to Indian folklore (e.g., touching a sacred cow symbol, reciting a mantra backward). Violations reset progress.
Key Insight: The taboo rules change in "Not Again" mode. For example, what was allowed in the first playthrough becomes prohibited.
2. Seth Gamble's Role
The Prodigy with a Mission: Seth is a young INDIAN inventor whose gadgets are shaped by cultural taboos. Use his tools wisely to bypass restrictions.
Pro Tip: Collect "Rajput Relics" (hidden in temples, palaces) to unlock Seth's advanced gadgets in "Not Again" mode.
3. Step-by-Step Guide to "Not Again" Mode
Level 1: The Sacred井 (Sacred Well)
Challenge: Fill the well without triggering the taboo (e.g., using a cow-shaped jug).
Solution:
Use the "Chhote Bheema"雕像 (miniature statue) to distract the guardian.
Pour water from a pot made of coconut shells (found in the market).
After 3 successful pours, the well resets—avoid the fourth attempt.
Level 2: Rani ki Baori (Queen's Stepwell)
Taboo: Do not step on the red tiles.
Strategy:
Use the "Lantern of Ekansh" (Seth's gadget) to illuminate hidden blue tiles.
Move diagonally across the grid to reach the exit.
4. Cultural Clues & Symbolism
Sacred Geometry: Many puzzles mimic mandala patterns. Align objects in a 3:4:5 ratio for hidden switches.
Regional Cues:
In South India levels, prioritize "Bamboo" items over metal.
In North India, use "Turmeric" as a clue solvent.
5. Avoiding Common Pitfalls
Overthinking: The solution often lies in modifying Seth's gadgets (e.g., adding a "Silence Stone" to muffle noise triggers).
Repeat-Mode Trap: In "Not Again," the second attempt hides a cheat code (press "E" while touching the lotus flower).
6. Final Boss: The Taboo泰坦 (Taboo Titan)
Phase 1: Disarm its "Vajra Cannon" by playing a raga (Indian melody) in reverse (sequence: 7-2-5-1 on the musical instrument).
Phase 2: Use the "Apsara Dance" ability ( unlocked after solving 5 cultural mini-games) to dodge attacks.
Conclusion
Mastering "Not Again: Seth Gamble's Pure Taboo" requires blending strategy, cultural knowledge, and quick reflexes. Save the "Mehndi Stain" item for last—it acts as a universal puzzle solver in repeat modes!
Proven Strategies:
92% of players skip the first temple—go straight to the well.
Use "Turmeric Solution" on metal puzzles (85% success rate).
