So, for a while, I had this mischievous idea that if I ever made a Dark Souls puzzle it would be called Prepare to Cry and would involve a 400+ jigsaw of a concrete wall. Why? Overcoming challenge which initially seems insurmountable is a big part of these games, and I like my puzzles to be thematically linked to the giveaway.

The name Prepare to Cry, though, is already taken by a youtube series, but as for the rest... here you go. Look at the majesty of that wall. Actually, look at the original image, and soak up every little detail. Isn't it beautiful?

Lvl 1+, no SG Tools.
Ends August 26, 9:30 pm GMT+3

I'd say good luck, but luck is a dumb stat. Good endurance instead.

Solution/Final thoughts:
Most of you did the needlessly cruel jigsaw. I certainly underestimated people's resolve.
There was another solution, though. All you needed to do was examine the wall more closely ("every little detail", remember?). And sooner or later you'd've found this giveaway code. Well, sooner than 3 to 10 hours, I should think.

After 07:25:30 i finished it and got the error "Couldn't submit your score. We are very sorry for the inconvenience" and no link. Jigidi must have bugged
Anyways bumping it for the great giveaway.
PS. I did want to bang my head on it.
PS2. Reloaded the jigidi page and just had to redo the last 43 pieces. This time it worked correctly. :)

Some people have more than one steam account. I'm guessing that is the more likely explanation than sharing the link, but both are possible.

I feel like spending the time to line up those pieces is.. a process. It looks neat, though. Someone else did it too above.

I finished it but jigidi won't give me the link 。・゚゚・(>д<)・゚゚・。
I've tried reloading the page too and that didn't work... it took me almost 15 hours too...

Edit: Still can't get a link, but oh well, thanks for the puzzle anyway Fet, I had fun doing it!

Yeah it's okay, I realized that if I had worked that time I could've just bought the game, but this pain on my soul is probably the most Dark Souls thing about the whole experience haha

That seems so harsh... once you click View Image to get out of that menu and click the Pause button, it doesn't show the Quote Bubble next to View Image?

Huh. So that's what that button does. I assumed that was a 'leave comment' button so I never tried clicking it. Good to know.

No unfortunately, it still just says that it can upload my score.
If I try to reload the page then it returns to being unfinished and Jigidi says my completion is 99% on the puzzle page

Edit: it doesn't matter though, the giveaway is over and I still have the satisfaction of finishing the puzzle

Maybe not to you, but if it's some bug (????) it will probably annoy a few unfortunate souls and might piss them off for doing 15 hour puzzles like this >_>

I know the giveaway is already over, but I wasn't feeling well last night so I couldn't finish it. I will finish the puzzle tonight after work, as I want to see what time I get for the completion.

Congratulations to the winner!

I was so sure that was the answer, based on the various hints, but I just never found the code. I played with the image contrast, I tried to make out letters in the patterns on the wall, etc.

I even found the original source image and subtracted it from the one you linked in Photoshop to show any differences, and I still couldn' find any changes, so at that point I gave up examining the image.
