How do you solve the kabutops puzzle in Pokemon gold?

Answer 1

The Kabutops puzzle is actually one of the easier ones to solve. Look for pieces that seem to have a round edge on one side, these would be the outside shell of the Kabuto. Depending on which side of the piece this curved edge is on and the curve of the edge, you should be able to figure out which edge piece goes where. The two with the smallest curve go at the bottom center. Then all you're left with is the middle pieces, depicting the legs of the Kabuto. The legs are pointing inward, and the pieces are split so that one half of the middle set of legs is on each piece, use this to figure out whic row is above the other. If you still don't have it, try swapping the two pieces on the bottom center edge pieces or moving stuff around in the middle. You''ll know when you have it because it takes you away from the puzzle screen and you fall through the floor into a lower chamber full of Unown.
