Master Pyramorphix is a version of Pyramorphix with more layers.

Solution

The Mastermorphix (Master Pyramorphix) has two seperate versions. There is the one color version, and the four color version. This guide is written for the four color version.

I can't really ever find guides for the mastermorphix, I have seen a few forum posts talking about ideas. This is from the ideas, and the method that works for me.

The method used to solve this 4 sided puzzle is loosely based on the Petrus method. This puzzle doesn't have many people doing it, or solvers with any posted times. I see some people say this is one of the most difficult 3x3x3 shape mods. I am not doubtful about that, but I believe this puzzle can be achieved to sub-30, and maybe people have already done this. I have not seen any times below that though.

The best times I see for this puzzle are between 1:10.00 and 3:00.00


What you need to know before you start:

    * How to solve a rubik's cube (beneficial)
    * Intuitive F2L
    * Notation

Step 1:

Build a 2x2x2 block (This can be broken into 3 sub steps)

You need to first orient 3 center pieces in the correct orientation (looking at this from the top going clockwise your centers may be :yellow-blue--blue-red--red-yellow: remember, the centers of this puzzle have 2 colors on them.

Now you have to begin to build your 2x2x2 block, you have to insert 2 edges so that they match. These edges (obviously) will be between the two centers on the puzzle. so for example between the yellow-blue and blue-red centers we would place a blue edge. Make sure you keep the proper orientation of the centers.

Now that you have 2 edges correctly placed you do one f2l placement. Find the corner for the slot, match it with the missing edge and place it into the slot.

You should now have completed a 2x2x2 block, you will hold the point of this to the bottom of the puzzle pointing towards the floor or table.


Build the corner and 2 outer edges of 2 colors.

For example, build on yellow by placeing together one corner and 1 edge, then place the 2nd edge and insert into place on the yellow face. (This will take practice - you may end up with inversed triangle around your face - this is NOT PARITY) [Just reverse one of the edges i.e, R U2 R' U2 L U' L'] build this on 2 of the colors from your 2x2x2 block (red/blue/yellow in this case)

Insert the last f2l pair if required.


Last Layer

For this step look at the actual orientation of the edges (correctly oriented vs. not oriented!) Use the above to determine if you have the bar case; or the Crooked bar case Think of the top layer as if it were the 3x3x3, turn the top layer 45degrees so you have it facing you just like a side on the 3x3x3 Remember! there are 2 sets of 2 identically colored edges! (use this to your advantage - U-perms)


Notes:

   * Rotate one center 180degrees ( [R U R' U]x6 ) - this will keep all other pieces oriented.
   * Rotate one corner 120degrees ( [L' U' L U] [L' U2' L] [R U R' U R U2' R'] )
   * Notable algorithms from 3x3x3
         o J-Perms
         o T-Perm
         o U-Perms
         o A-perms
         o 2-look OLL cases (Sune/Bar/L-shape)
