Puzzle #1
This first puzzle takes place in the church Active Search during the "ecclesiAStical" segment.

You are tasked with solving a puzzle related to a riddle, which goes as follows:

"A couple, madly in love, proclaims itself king and queen of hearts. Rich in diamonds, coveted by many, they get beaten with clubs. Unavoidable, as the king and queen put their riches before themselves."

Also seen pictured below, as shown in-game:


First things first for this puzzle:

• If you enter the wrong sequence, you don't need to "reset" the puzzle in any way. You just need to enter the correct sequence at any point in order to solve this puzzle.
  
  
• You "pick" suits / enter a sequence of suits by pressing the Use icons (the green hand) on the stained-glass windows corresponding to the four different suits.
  
  
• If, for whatever reason, you're not familiar with these card suits, in order from left to right on the stained-glass windows, they are:
  
  1. Leftmost: Spades
     
  2. Middle-Left: Hearts
     
  3. Middle-Right: Diamonds
     
  4. Rightmost: Clubs

Puzzle #1 - Hints
Below are a list of progressive hints for puzzle #1.

• Which suits are included in the answer?
  
  • Hint 1a: Only the suits mentioned in the riddle are needed for the solution, so if a suit isn't mentioned then...
    
    
  • Hint 2a: Then that suit isn't part of the answer.
    
    
  • Major Hint: Spades are not mentioned at all, meaning that the solution only needs clubs, diamonds, and hearts.
  
  
• How long is the correct sequence?
  
  • Hint 1b: How many references to suits are there in the riddle?
    
    
  • Hint 2b: The suits are always referred to in plural in this riddle (e.g. "diamonds"), but that doesn't necessarily mean you will have to "use" that suit multiple times in your answer..
    
    
  • Hint 3b: If you answered "three" (3) suits to Hint 1b, then you're not quite right. Take a couple more looks at the riddle.
    
    
  • Hint 4b: The riddle mentions a couple of hearts (both the king of hearts and the queen of hearts), so there are two hearts, in addition to the other suits mentioned.
    
    
  • Correct Sequence Length: The solution is four (4) suits long (so four button presses).

Puzzle #1 - Answer
Here is the answer to this puzzle:
.....................................................Diamonds → Hearts → Hearts → Clubs

Explanation as to why this is the intended solution:
The riddle presents you with three suits in the following order:
1. Hearts
2. Diamonds
3. Clubs

There is both a king of hearts and a queen of hearts, which means there are actually two hearts at the beginning, so updating our previous list of suits, we now have:
1. Hearts
2. Hearts
3. Diamonds
4. Clubs

Nothing is mentioned about spades, so disregard spades entirely. The clubs are only mentioned in the first half of the riddle, so leave clubs where it is in the current order.

Finally, we apply the final sentence of the riddle about "the king and queen put[ting] their riches before themselves", which refers to taking the previous suit order and moving the Diamonds to the beginning of the sequence, giving us the final answer:
1. Diamonds
2. Hearts
3. Hearts
4. Clubs

Puzzle #2
The second mandatory puzzle takes place arguably never! I believe there are no more mandatory puzzles for you to solve. Technically, a number of the Active Search segments are puzzles in and of themselves, but I'll leave those to other guides dedicated to Active Searches or complete walkthroughs.

The following is just padding to prevent spoilers:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Tellus in hac habitasse platea. Quis ipsum suspendisse ultrices gravida dictum fusce. Ut porttitor leo a diam sollicitudin tempor id eu. Malesuada fames ac turpis egestas maecenas. In iaculis nunc sed augue lacus viverra. Porta non pulvinar neque laoreet suspendisse interdum. Orci dapibus ultrices in iaculis. Morbi tincidunt augue interdum velit.

This puzzle involves...
Volutpat maecenas volutpat blandit aliquam. Nec tincidunt praesent semper feugiat nibh sed pulvinar proin. Maecenas pharetra convallis posuere morbi. Aliquam etiam erat velit scelerisque in dictum non. Aliquam etiam erat velit scelerisque. Nullam ac tortor vitae purus faucibus ornare suspendisse sed. Convallis aenean et tortor at risus viverra.

Puzzle #2 - Hints
Here are a list of progressive hints for the second mandatory puzzle:

1. Tellus rutrum tellus pellentesque eu. Vitae suscipit tellus mauris a diam.
   
2. Lacus sed viverra tellus in.
   
3. Ultricies mi quis hendrerit dolor magna eget est. Ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit pellentesque.
   
4. Eu mi bibendum neque egestas congue quisque. Enim facilisis gravida neque convallis a cras semper. Tristique magna sit amet purus.
