A number of people take a movie with their phone of the patterns and replay it slowly to pass the test. If you're interested in passing it without this rec/playback strategy, the Crystal Cave puzzle does go a little slower each time you play it so if you go there in the morning and just play a bunch, it may slow down enough for you to pass it. That's how I did it.

There are a few methods you can use:
1. fail enough times and it progressively slows down
2. screen record or record on a phone
3. draw the 5 crystals on a piece of paper and draw a line in the order for each step. This is the one I would recommend because then you don't have to spend an eternity failing or juggling another device/recording
4. skip it, on 1.6 you can buy walnuts
5. Since you're on mobile, you can also just create a save at the start or the day there, then if it gets too late, exit and reload the save right there. There isn't a reason to spend multiple days not getting it.

You have the best ideas and strats. Why did this never occur to me?!

This is what works for me (I play with the sound off and I'm partially colorblind so this ignores both sound and colors):
I label the five crystals in my head (top right; low right; top left; low left; middle is what I do but you can use whatever works for you). Then I name them (again, in my head) once as they flash, a second time to recall the pattern, and again as the farmer hits them.
I suggested this to a friend who was struggling with the puzzle and it helped (she had previously been trying to use sound like she did with the old Simon game). She used the colors as labels and found it worked better for her if she said the patterns aloud.

Ha thanks, just a lot of playing this game
Plus I’m horrid at short term memory games so I’ve had some time to think about it, glad it can help!

Ooh I like this, you could just say 1,2,5,4 or something and repeat it
(I say this but my laughable memory will fail me in even that…)

Exactly! I just think "top right, low left, low left, middle" or whatever the pattern is and then go hit those crystals in that order. ^_^ Numbers would probably be easier but I'm too used to their names to change them now, I think!

I'm horrible at this game too. On my current save, I EVENTUALLY beat it -- on my 7th attempt!
