This puzzle is like a rubik's cube on crack...

Comentario de Lilyoptra

This can be done in a group-everyone can loot the chest and get the monocle.

Comentario de Kaerei

Not only can this be done in a group, but the party leader can invite those from LFG, who can then zone into the instance and with the Talisman if True Treasure Tracking, loot the chest for the Yellow Monocle.

Note: If the instance is on Heroic, those invited MUST NOT HAVE KILLED ANYTHING IN ANOTHER HOO LOCKOUT THAT DAY. They will be locked to their own instance and will be unable to zone into yours.

A few tips before you, like me, end up wasting too much time on this:

Do the puzzle on normal difficulty instead of heroic. This makes it easier to invite friends in to share the chest since they won't already be saved to the instance.

There are always a couple of constellations that you cannot change because none of the refractors can affect them. The Wowhead guide makes a small mention of this but I think it needs to be called out more. Always start the puzzle by finding these (usually along the edge in a corner) because this is the color your final puzzle will be. If you start working on a different color you will have to start over.

The Hivemind HoO Puzzle Helper addon can make this easier (but no less mind-numbingly tedious). Open the addon with /hhph. The bottom of the addon is where you enter into the puzzle area, so walk across the room to the far left corner -- this square is highlighted in red in the addon. On the minimap this will be the south-east most corner. Move along in a straight line clicking the color and refractor buttons to fill in each square. When they're all done click the GO button and it will change to show you how many times you need to click each refractor to solve the puzzle.

Did it with the help of the addon and got some clarifications on how exactly does it work.
- There is no difference how you fill it out (from which end, and watching north or south), as long as you don't mess up and confuse even one of the 756 cells. Yes, it will take a while.
- If you fill it out and not all cells are of the same color when you press GO, then you have a mistake, click UNDO, then look at the first cell with an error in the order you filled them and triple-check it and everything within 1 cell around it.
- It DOES NOT MATTER in which order do you click each switch. Only that you click all of them 0-3 times as the addon instructs.
- The hardest part is to track which ones did you switch already; it helps to record the numbers of rows down on paper.

So, how does the puzzle actually work:
The game generates a solid color field where each colored cell is affected by 0-3 switches. If it's 0, then it never changes color; if 1, only one switch changes it, etc. The game then randomly spins each switch 0-3 times.
The order in which you flip the switches is irrelevant, you just need a combo for each cell on all 0-3 switches it's affected by that changes it to default color.

So, if you really want to do it without an addon for some reason, or do not want to reenter it after a mistake (although, to be fair, you don't need to reenter ALL of it, use the Undo option and correct that which was changed), you can do the following.

Find the cell(s) that are affected by 0 switches. This is the default color.
Find nearby cell(s) that are affected by 1 switch only, and set them so. You can then not touch them anymore.
Find cells affected only by 2 switches nearby and combo them to keep these at default color. There will only be one such combo, don't worry.
Finally, set nearby cells that are affected by 3 by the same principle. If you've set the 1s and 2s right, there will only be one option.
Once getting more than a single possible combo for a given cell, go look for another cell, then come back later. Mark the switches you definitely know are set right.
Note the closest cell that is of wrong color and can be affected by 1 switch only, and repeat this for the new section.
Repeat this sequence until you get the entire field right.

Be careful you don't accidentally reset your thing by clicking the middle star again. I just spent 2 hours doing this thing and reset it.. Whoops

There are addons, but I made a solver here if you don't want to install anything: http://scottsha.com/yellow_gui.html

If you deleted your monocles to make bag/bank space and later want to help others get the Hivemind mount, you can buy them again (yellow green or blue) from Griftah in Shattrath City (Outland) for 1000g, max discounted down to 800g if exalted with Lower City.

Hey mates!

here is my simple guide how to do the ULDUM-STAR-COLOR-BOARD without the addon. It is really pretty easy if you get the trick! Did this in about 45 minutes which was also faster then my gf with the addon. You don't need to think that much about the puzzle if you just follow the parts step-by-step. There is no order for the switches you have to follow. Just simple color-selection!

part1 - prepare

Find a block which can't switch color! You just have to find a block without any switches in range.
This is your TARGET-COLOR for the whole board!
Now choose 1 of the remaining 3 colors e.g. blue

part2 - remove 2 colors

Begin by switching the field until you have no more of your chosen blocks (blue for me). This can easily be done and doesn't need to much work
Now choose another color, e.g. red and start over: switch the whole field until all reds are removed

Watch out not to get new blue blocks! If some blocks are blue again then you MUST switch them back with other switches in range!

part3 - solve by turning 2 remaining colors
For now your field should only consist of 2 remaining colors

As you reached this part of the puzzle you will always hit the blocks 2-times to turn the colors between 2 possibilities(in my example orange and green)
Just follow the lines and turn the colors until everything is plain

BEWARE AND CHECK 2 TIMES IF YOU ARE REALLY CLICKING THE CHEST AFTER YOU DID THIS!
OTHERWISE THE BOARD WILL RESET!

If this was useful let me know !

Did this with a friend and the chest despawned after the first person looted, second had it in the mailbox and was able to buy from Griftah

Completing the puzzle a second time did not spawn another chest in the same instance

Comentario de reedwand

Also a nice reminder - do not reload the instance whilst you are inside.
I got to the puzzle and thought I would opt into the addon, exited the game to load in the addon and I was already at the puzzle. Completed the puzzle but got no reward or treasure chest so will have to do it all over again.
Just thought I would share so that others don't fall into this mistake :)
