Alf: Add Barzai with some misc. info about them

'''New humans''', referred to in-game as simply '''humans''', are the sentient beings that live on Earth during [[The Talos Principle 2]]. The name of the their species is borrowed from the name used for their [[Ancient human|ancient ancestors]].

When the original human race was near extinction, a team at the [[Institute for Applied Noematics]] created a system designed to eventually allow a new (robotic) human race to emerge. The first new human (the protagonist of first [[The Talos Principle]] game) named herself [[Athena (1)]].

Shortly after creating Athena, the system designed by the ancient humans also gave life to two other new humans: [[Eustathius (2)]] and [[Cornelius (3)]]. Together they brought to life ten additional humans. The twelve humans born after Athena are collectively known as the [[:Category:First Companions|First Companions]].

New humans developed a civilization in the city of [[New Jerusalem]]. There was also an attempt to create a second city, [[New Alexandria]], but this effort ended with a disaster that killed several people.

In order to avoid destroying the environment as the ancient humans did, [[Athena]] suggested limiting the new human race to exactly 1000 people. The creation of this 1000th human, and the belief that they should be the final new human, became known as "the [[Goal]]". By the time [[1k|1k (1000)]] was born, [[Neith (33)]] had taken over welcoming new humans into the world.

Desolate Island

2023-12-21T01:01:12Z

Alf: /* Trivia */ Add location of rubber ducks and note about the misnamed terminal

{{Infobox Area
|shortname = North 1
|areatype = Regular
|previous = [[Megastructure Interior - East]]
|next = [[Flooded Valley]]
}}The '''Desolate Island''', also commonly called '''North 1''', is a remote, rocky island off the north-western coast. Survey data suggests the area may be prone to landslides.

[[File:North 1 - Desolate Island Map.png|thumb|Detailed map of the area]]
[[File:North-1 Aerial.jpg|thumb|Aerial view]]

== Trivia ==
The first time you walk all the way to the shore, Byron makes a comment about the saying “the sea will claim everything”. This is a reference to the game [http://landsofdream.net/games/the-sea-will-claim-everything/credits/ The Sea Will Claim Everything], designed and written by Jonas and Verena Kyratzes.

{{Quote|There’s an old saying about how in the end, the sea will claim everything. I have no doubt that this is true: in the long history of the human species, entire regions have disappeared under the waves. Places like Beringia and Doggerland still echo in our cultural memories. But we shouldn’t forget that life began in the sea; we are the children of the sea, and it’s not through floods and ruin that the sea will claim everything, but through us.|Byron}}

At the east, north and northwest limits of the island there are three fans that will propel you to different points of interest near the central, mountainous area. Next to the east fan there is a wooden bench (painted pink in patch 1.05), and there are two rubber ducks in the northeast shore. Unlike other areas these are physical objects, not anomalies.

There is a probably misnamed terminals: rather than the expected THIRIEL_EXT-2, it is named just TERMINAL.

This is the only main area where no ancient human artifacts can be found.

Desolate Island

2023-12-21T00:52:17Z

Alf: /* Documents and Audio Logs */ Add lux_v5 and rename THIRIEL_EXT-2 to TERMINAL

{{Infobox Area
|shortname = North 1
|areatype = Regular
|previous = [[Megastructure Interior - East]]
|next = [[Flooded Valley]]
}}The '''Desolate Island''', also commonly called '''North 1''', is a remote, rocky island off the north-western coast. Survey data suggests the area may be prone to landslides.

[[File:North 1 - Desolate Island Map.png|thumb|Detailed map of the area]]
[[File:North-1 Aerial.jpg|thumb|Aerial view]]

== Trivia ==
The first time you walk all the way to the shore, Byron makes a comment about the saying “the sea will claim everything”. This is a reference to the game [http://landsofdream.net/games/the-sea-will-claim-everything/credits/ The Sea Will Claim Everything], designed and written by Jonas and Verena Kyratzes.

{{Quote|There’s an old saying about how in the end, the sea will claim everything. I have no doubt that this is true: in the long history of the human species, entire regions have disappeared under the waves. Places like Beringia and Doggerland still echo in our cultural memories. But we shouldn’t forget that life began in the sea; we are the children of the sea, and it’s not through floods and ruin that the sea will claim everything, but through us.|Byron}}

At the east, north and northwest limits of the island there are three fans that will propel you to different points of interest near the central, mountainous area. Next to the east fan there is a wooden bench.

This is the only main area where no ancient human artifacts can be found.

Booting Process

Alf: Change Booting Sequence to Booting Process in opening paragraph

{{Infobox Area

}}
'''Booting Process''', referred to by [[Elohim]] as the '''trials of initiation''', is the initial area of the game. It serves as a tutorial and a refresher of [[The Talos Principle]].
[[File:Boot Sequence.jpg|thumb|Initial location in Boot Sequence]]
{{Quote|This land is but a dream. You will stay here only for a little while. Soon you will awaken in a [[New Jerusalem|new world]].|Elohim}}
The structure of this area is similar to the areas in the first game: solving a puzzle rewards you with a coloured tetromino that, in combination with the rest of the pieces of the same colour, can be used to solve a [[tetromino arranger]]. Solving an arranger grants you access to the following zone. The [[:Category:Puzzle Elements|puzzle elements]] look and behave like the elements from the first game, with the exception of the fact that the [[jammer]] can now disable [[Fan|fans]].

In the first game these messages were left by subjects of previous iterations in the [[Simulation]] or by other players. It’s unclear if these messages in the Boot Sequence are created by [[Elohim]] or if, at some point, all new humans after [[Athena (1)|Athena]] went through the same boot process and saw the same messages.

Rail drone

Alf: Change Mover to Rail drone

[[File:Rail drone.jpg|thumb|A red rail drone.]]
'''Rail drones''' are puzzle elements in [[The Talos Principle 2]]. They move (along a predetermined path drawn as a white line on the ground) only when activated by a [[laser]] of the correct color. They can pass through [[purple barrier]]s but not [[blue door]]s.

The distance from the ground to the top of the platform is similar to the height of a [[hexahedron]]. In particular, the player can jump from the ground to the top of a platform or place an object (for example, a [[connector]]) on a platform. Also similar to hexahedrons, they will stay at a fixed position in the air when over an active [[fan]].

The Talos Principle 2

2023-12-19T22:54:22Z

Alf: Change Mover to Rail drone and simplify markup

[[File:TTP2-cover-art.jpg|Steam cover art|right|frameless]]The Talos Principle 2 is a videogame developed by [https://www.croteam.com/ Croteam] and published by [https://www.devolverdigital.com/ Devolver Digital]; it was released on 2nd November 2023. It is a sequel to the first game, [[The Talos Principle]]. It is described as “a thought-provoking first-person puzzle experience that greatly expands on the first game's philosophical themes and stunning environments with increasingly mind-bending challenges”. [https://store.steampowered.com/app/835960/The_Talos_Principle_2/]

== Setting ==

Set at least a millennium after the first game, The Talos Principle 2 takes place primarily in two locations: the city of [[New Jerusalem]] (populated by [[New human|new humans]]), and a mysterious island from which strange energy readings have been detected. An [[Map|in-game map]] labels the 13 areas of the island.

== Characters ==

The player takes the role of "[[1k (1000)|1k]]", so named as the one thousandth person born after the conclusion of the original game. Joining 1k on the main expedition to the island are [[Byron (7)|Byron]], [[Melville (142)|Melville]], [[Alcatraz (264)|Alcatraz]], and [[Yaqut (764)|Yaqut]]. Other notable characters include [[Hermanubis (452)|Hermanubis]] (mayor of New Jerusalem), [[Athena (1)|Athena]] (its founder), [[Cornelius (3)|Cornelius]], and [[Miranda]].

: ''See also: [[New human]]''

== Story ==
Prologue: [[Brave New World]]<br/>
Act I: [[A Voice in the Wilderness]]<br/>
Act II: [[The Human Form Divine]]<br/>
Act III: [[Prometheus Bound]]<br/>
Act IV: [[Gates of Horn and Ivory]]<br/>
Act V: [[Full Fathom Five]]<br/>
Epilogue: [[Leap of Faith]] / [[Momentum Deferred]] / [[Certain Fathoms in the Earth]]

== Puzzles ==

Most of the main [[:Category:TTP2 Areas|areas]] introduce a new mechanic, beginning with simple puzzles that function as a tutorial and escalating to more challenging applications of the mechanic. The puzzles, ordered as they appear in the story, are shown in the table below. For an alphabetized list, see the [[:Category:TTP2 Puzzles#mw-pages|Puzzles category]].

{{TTP2PuzzleTable}}

The [[jammer]], [[pressure plate]], [[hexahedron]], [[connector]], [[fan]], [[platform]], and [[switch]] all return from the first game. New puzzle elements include
* [[RGB converter|RGB converter]]s,
* [[Driller]]s,
* [[Inverter]]s,
* [[Clone]]s,
* [[Accumulator]]s,
* [[Swapper]]s,
* [[Teleporter]]s,
* [[Gravshifter]]s,
* [[Rotating platform]]s,
* [[Rail drone]]s,
* [[Activator]]s.

== Collectibles ==

The 12 main [[:Category:TTP2 Areas|areas]] each contain

* 10 particle clouds rewarded for completing puzzles (these are similar to [[Sigil|sigils]] from the first game). Progressing to the next part of the story requires collecting at least 8 of these.
* 2 [[Prometheus Spark|Prometheus sparks]], which can be substituted for the puzzle sparks to progress the story faster.
* 2 [[Star|stars]], each one connected to a monument. These come in three varieties throughout the game: Pandora monuments, Sphinx monuments, and Prometheus monuments.

Scattered throughout the maps are several [[:Category:Audio Logs|audio logs]] and [[:Category:Ancient Human Artifacts|ancient human artifacts]]. Accessing terminals also provides numerous [[:Category:TTP2 Documents|documents]], some of which come in collectible sequences.

'''Elements''' is the sixth main puzzle in the Western Delta area of The Talos Principle 2.

== Puzzle elements ==
{{Puzzle Element List|Blue door=true|Connector=true|Rail drone=true|Purple barrier=true|Receiver=true|Switch=true}}

==Overview==
When you enter the puzzle, you see a large open area, with a blue [[rail drone]] on the right, a [[fan]] activated by a [[switch]] in front of you, a blue [[emitter]] on the left wall, and a [[connector]] in the middle of the room. On the left is a small room blocked off by a [[purple barrier]]. Inside the room is a red rail drone, a connector, and a red [[emitter]]. Further along, to the left of the main room is a corridor blocked off by a high grate, and a blue [[receiver]] that gives access to the progress wheel.

==Hints==
{{ProgressiveHint|A basic hint|Don't overthink this puzzle. Play around with the ''elements'' and you'll figure it out.}}
{{ProgressiveHint|If you don't seem to have enough elevation|You may need a bit more push from a bit more equipment}}

'''Transference''' is the eighth main puzzle in the [[Western Delta]] area of The Talos Principle 2.

== Puzzle elements ==
{{Puzzle Element List|Blue door=true|Connector=true|Driller=true|Ladder=true|Rail drone=true|Pressure plate=true|Swapper=true|Teleporter=true}}

==Overview==
When you enter the puzzle, you find yourself in an L shaped area. To the left is a red [[emitter]] and a [[connector]]. On the right side is a [[driller]] and a [[swapper]] with a [[teleporter]] in it. There is a drillable wall that leads to the first inner room, which is also visible through a glass window.

In the first inner room, there is another connector, a [[pressure plate]], a red [[rail drone]] with a path that leads across a [[blue door]] to the second inner room. There is a [[ladder]] that leads back outside.

In the second inner room, there is another [[pressure plate]], and a [[blue door]] that leads to an elevated platform.

This elevated platform shares a drillable wall with the room with the progress wheel on it.

== Hints ==
{{ProgressiveHint|A basic hint|Since the name of the puzzle is ''Transference'', you have to think about several types of transfers: how do you transfer equipment across drillable walls, and how do you transfer the rail drone from one place to another.}}
{{ProgressiveHint|If you're having trouble getting started|You need a second connector first, and that's only in the first inner room. How do you get there?}}
{{ProgressiveHint|If you're theorizing about how to keep some blue walls open|Instead of thinking about the puzzle, try to execute your plan. You will find that some of the puzzle elements are setup favorably in such a way that things fall into place}}
{{ProgressiveHint|If you're struggling to get equipment onto the penultimate platform|There is an angle from the outermost room, across the grate on the left side, where a corner of the innermost platform is visible clearly. With line of sight, you can do something.}}

==Solution==
{{Spoiler|
<gallery mode="slideshow">
File:W1-9-transference-solution-01.jpg|Step 1: Drill a hole. Keep the driller a bit on the right side to give yourself more space on the left to keep connectors.
File:W1-9-transference-solution-02.jpg|Step 2: Grab the connector from near the emitter and swap it out for the teleporter.
File:W1-9-transference-solution-03.jpg|Step 3: Place the teleporter through the hole and teleport in.
File:W1-9-transference-solution-04.jpg|Step 4: Grab the connector from the left side of the first inner room, connect it to the rail drone, and place it on the pressure plate. This opens the blue door.
File:W1-9-transference-solution-05.jpg|Step 5: Take the teleporter and swap it out for the connector.
File:W1-9-transference-solution-06.jpg|Step 6: Connect the emitter to the connector inside through the hole. This activates the rail drone.
File:W1-9-transference-solution-07.jpg|Step 7: Wait until the rail drone reaches the end of the path, where it will push on the pressure plate in the second inner room, then disconnect. There is no expert timing needed here, because the laser gets interrupted anyway at the end of the path.

'''Automatic Doors''' is the third main puzzle in the [[Western Delta]] area of The Talos Principle 2.

== Puzzle elements ==
{{Puzzle Element List|Blue door=true|Connector=true|Inverter=true|Rail drone=true|Purple barrier=true|Receiver=true}}

==Overview==
As you enter the puzzle, you see a blue [[emitter]] on the left, a room blocked by a [[blue door]] in front of you with a blue [[receiver]] next to it, and a room to the right past a [[purple barrier]]. In the right room is an inverter, and a red [[receiver]] that deactivates a blue door to a third room with a [[rail drone]] and a connector in it. Behind the blue door in the first room is another empty room with a red receiver, which controls access to the progress wheel.

== Hints ==
{{ProgressiveHint|A basic hint|Since the name of the puzzle is ''Automatic doors'', you have to figure out a way to keep opening the doors automatically}}
{{ProgressiveHint|If you're having trouble getting started|After you get access to the third room, don't be hasty. Pick up the connector and connect it to things visible from that room so that you can move around while that connection is still active}}
{{ProgressiveHint|If you're thinking about the rules of which laser color wins|A connector that is connected directly to an emitter will try to push that color to all the remaining connections. Only if the connection to the emitter is interrupted, it will look for a secondary source of energy.}}

== Solution ==

'''Breach''' is the seventh main puzzle in the [[Western Delta]] area of The Talos Principle 2.

== Puzzle elements ==
{{Puzzle Element List|Accumulator=true|Blue door=true|Connector=true|Rail drone=true|Pressure plate=true|Receiver=true}}

==Overview==
As you enter the puzzle, you see a large open area with a pillar in the middle. On top of the pillar is a fixed [[connector]] that is statically connected to a red [[receiver]] in the second room, a blue receiver in the main area, and a red [[emitter]] on the left side of the main area, although that is currently blocked off by a [[blue door]]. On the right side, behind some grates, is a blue emitter. There is a connector readily available.

In the second room, there is an [[accumulator]], a blue receiver, a red receiver, and a red [[rail drone]]. When both the blue and red receivers are activated, the blue door deactivates, and allows access to the third room. In the third room, the progress wheel is on a platform at a higher elevation.

== Hints ==
{{ProgressiveHint|A basic hint|Since the name of the puzzle is ''Breach'', the central question of the puzzle is how will you move across one of the critical blue doors.}}
{{ProgressiveHint|If you're having trouble getting started|You cannot aim at the blue receivers straight from the little alcove near the blue emitter. You should use the static connector instead}}
{{ProgressiveHint|If you're having trouble keeping the outer door open while working in the inner room|You should figure out a way to keep the outer door opened permanently.}}
{{ProgressiveHint|If you want a bit more obvious hint about the accumulator|The accumulator is only used once. You charge it, connect it to a couple things and set it down, then you never touch it again.}}

== Solution ==
{{Spoiler|
<gallery mode="slideshow">
File:W1-7-breach-solution-01.jpg|Step 1: Connect the blue emitter to the static connector in order to open the outer blue door. Grab the accumulator from inside.
File:W1-7-breach-solution-02.jpg|Step 2: Charge the accumulator blue and connect it to both blue receivers. Keep it this way for the rest of the puzzle.
File:W1-7-breach-solution-03.jpg|Step 3: Grab the connector from outside and connect it to the static connector and the rail drone. It is currently inactive.
File:W1-7-breach-solution-04.jpg|Step 4: Go outside and step on the pressure plate to activate the rail drone. Wait till it reaches the end of the path, then step away.
File:W1-7-breach-solution-05.jpg|Step 5: Grab the connector and put it on the pressure plate. This makes the static connector red.
File:W1-7-breach-solution-06.jpg|Step 6: Notice that both the red and blue receivers are now active, opening the inner blue door.
File:W1-7-breach-solution-07.jpg|Step 7: Step on the rail drone and then onto the platform with the progress wheel on it.

'''The Mule''' is the [[gold puzzle]] in the [[Western Delta]] area of [[The Talos Principle 2]].

== Puzzle elements ==
{{Puzzle Element List|Blue door=true|Connector=true|Driller=true|Rail drone=true|Pressure plate=true|Receiver=true|Switch=true|Teleporter=true}}

==Overview==
As you enter the puzzle, you see that it is a large area with a lot of puzzle elements. There is a [[connector]] and a [[teleporter]] available immediately, and there are several doors, a moving platform, a switch that is somewhat hard to find off to the side, and some fixed connectors as well. In a blocked off room, you will also find a driller. A pressure plate controls plasma doors that block the windows.

== Hints ==

'''A basic hint:'''
{{Spoiler|Since the name of the puzzle is ''The Mule'', you have to use the moving platform to move some equipment around quite a bit.|hint}}

'''If you are having trouble getting started:'''
{{Spoiler|The connector that makes the platform move needs to sit a bit to the side for it to function in all of the ways you need it to function. This means you have to babysit the process a bit, it cannot be fully automated.|hint}}

'''If you managed to get inside but are unsure what to do next:'''
{{Spoiler|Try to get all your equipment outside. You may need to mule some other equipment out. Remember that equipment can be active when it is being carried around.|hint}}

'''Jailbreak''' is a lost puzzle in the [[Western Delta]] area of [[The Talos Principle 2]].

== Puzzle elements ==
{{Puzzle Element List|Blue door=true|Connector=true|Rail drone=true|Pressure plate=true|Receiver=true}}

==Overview==
To reach this puzzle, as you walk from [[Automatic Doors|Puzzle 3]] towards [[Surfing|Puzzle 4]], take the path to the left. You'll have to walk for quite a bit.

As you enter the puzzle, you see a red [[emitter]] in front of you. On both sides are long covered corridors, with grills on one side and [[blue door]]s on the ends, which look like jail cells. There is a passageway along the entire length that you can freely walk on. To the right, behind a tall grate is a blue [[emitter]]. At the very right end of the puzzle is a fixed [[connector]] that is statically linked to a red [[rail drone]], which is currently inside the first jail cell. The path of the rail drone cuts across all the cells and turns a bit near the end. Outside, there are two connectors. On the far left, on an elevated platform, the progress wheel can be seen.

Starting from the point closest to the fixed connector, the first jail cell has the aforementioned red rail drone, and a blue door to the next cell. On the wall just outside is a red [[receiver]].

The second jail cell has a blue receiver inside, and a blue door to the third cell.

The third cell has a [[pressure plate]], and a blue door to the outside, just next to the entryway.

Across the entryway, the fourth cell is a single long passage; it has blue doors on either side. Close to the entryway is a pressure plate, but a section of the grill is missing, so one can freely enter the cell. On the other end is a red receiver, and the grill is only half-height near this section.

==Hints==
{{ProgressiveHint|A basic hint|Since the name of the puzzle is ''Jailbreak'', you will have to figure out how to get the rail drone to exit each of the jail cells, one by one.}}
{{ProgressiveHint|If you're struggling to get started|Carefully note the fixed connector on the far end of the puzzle area. Use that connector for the first part of the puzzle}}
{{ProgressiveHint|If you're struggling to get the rail drone out of the third room|If you activate the rail drone immediately, it steps off the pressure plate and the blue door activates, which prevents the rail drone from moving. How can you keep the pressure plate active?}}
{{ProgressiveHint|If you've brought the rail drone to the left jail cell, but can't find a good angle for the rail drone|Think about the left section, where there was a fixed connector providing energy to the rail drone. That fixed connector is not available anymore, but is there an equivalent replacement now?}}
{{ProgressiveHint|If you're mourning the loss of some equipment|If you think that you had to sacrifice one of your connectors on the pressure plate on the third room, don't worry. It can still be useful from there}}

== Solution ==
{{Spoiler|
<gallery mode="slideshow">
File:W1-lost-1-jailbreak-solution-01.jpg|Step 1: Connect the blue emitter to the blue receiver in cell 2, and place the connector on the rail drone.
File:W1-lost-1-jailbreak-solution-02.jpg|Step 2: Use the other connector to activate the red receiver outside cell 1, and the fixed connector as well, which activates the rail drone. Wait until the rail drone reaches all the way to cell 3.
File:W1-lost-1-jailbreak-solution-03.jpg|Step 3: The rail drone is currently pushing down on the pressure plate, but it will need to move soon, so we place one of the connectors on the pressure plate.

'''Nuisance''' is the fifth main puzzle in the Western Delta area of The Talos Principle 2.

== Puzzle elements ==
{{Puzzle Element List|Blue door=true|Connector=true|Fan=true|Rail drone=true|Purple barrier=true|Receiver=true}}

==Overview==
When you enter the puzzle, you find yourself in a long room with a red [[emitter]] on the far end, and a [[connector]] available to you. There is a red [[receiver]] to the right next to a [[blue door]] that leads to the second room which is in a curved L shape. In that room, you find a [[rail drone]] and another connector. To the left is a room with two [[purple barrier]]s on facing walls, that leads to a fourth room with a red receiver. This receiver controls a blue door to a tiny room with an angled [[fan]] in it. The fan points to a room with the progress wheel. When the red receiver is deactivated, the blue door is closed and the fan is active. When the red receiver is activated, the blue door opens, but the fan deactivates.

== Hints==
{{ProgressiveHint|A basic hint|Since the name of the puzzle is ''Nuisance'', you have to figure out a way to have the equipment interrupt something else}}
{{ProgressiveHint|If red receiver isn't getting enough time to activate|If you depend on the rail drone to connect the red receiver (by placing the connector on top of the rail drone, for example), that does not give enough time for the receiver to activate. This is not a question about angles or positioning, there isn't enough time.}}
{{ProgressiveHint|If you're wondering how to get around the problem of not having enough time to activate|Think about what needs equipment needs to sustain for a while and what can be instantaneous. Is there a way to position the connectors so that the thing that needs to be sustained remains on for most of the time?}}
{{ProgressiveHint|If you need a more obvious hint about how to keep a sustained connection|You should not activate the rail drone from outside the second room.}}

== Solution ==
{{Spoiler|
<gallery mode="slideshow">
File:W1-5-nuisance-solution-01.jpg|Step 1: Open the outer blue door, but position the connector so that it has a clear view into the second room.

'''Supportive Apparatus''' is the second main puzzle in the Western Delta area of The Talos Principle 2.

== Puzzle elements ==
{{Puzzle Element List|Blue door=true|Connector=true|Hexahedron=true|Pressure plate=true|Rail drone=true|Receiver=true}}

==Overview==
As you enter the puzzle, you find a red [[emitter]] to the right side, and a corridor on the left that leads to the progress wheel, blocked off by a red [[receiver]]. A [[connector]] is readily available. In front of you is a [[blue door]] that leads to a large room. In that room, to the right is a [[rail drone]] that is blocked off by a blue door controlled by a red emitter, another small room with a [[connector]] in it that is also blocked off by a blue door controlled by a red receiver.

== Hints ==
{{ProgressiveHint|A basic hint|Since the name of the puzzle is ''Supportive Apparatus'', placing equipment on top of other equipment is going to be important in this puzzle.}}
{{ProgressiveHint|If you're having trouble getting started|There is a window, use that to start things off instead of trying to connect the lasers through the blue door.}}
{{ProgressiveHint|If you're having trouble getting the second connector|If the move is close enough, there is an angle at which you no longer need the light to go through the blue door}}
{{ProgressiveHint|If you're not able to keep the connector on the hexahedron|You can keep a connector on top of a hexahedron on the ground. But if the box is already on top of a rail drone, you can't keep the connector on it. You don't need to, keeping the connector directly on the rail drone is enough}}
{{ProgressiveHint|At the very end, if you're having trouble with angles|Make sure that the rail drone is at the very end of the path. You still need a bit of elevation for the connector outside}}

== Solution ==
{{Spoiler|
<gallery mode="slideshow">
File:W1-2-supportive-apparatus-solution-1.jpg|Step 1: Connect the red emitter to the first receiver and the rail drone through the window.
File:W1-2-supportive-apparatus-solution-2.jpg|Step 2: Stand on the pressure plate outside to get the rail drone out into the open, then step aside.
File:W1-2-supportive-apparatus-solution-3.jpg|Step 3: Use the connector to activate the pressure plate. Grab the hexahedron from the rail drone and use it to activate the pressure plate instead, so you have a connector now.
File:W1-2-supportive-apparatus-solution-4.jpg|Step 4: Connect the emitter to the second receiver, and then place the connector on the rail drone to activate it. If the rail drone is too far away, you may have to move it a little bit to the right position.
File:W1-2-supportive-apparatus-solution-5.jpg|Step 5: Grab the second connector from within the room and come outside. Through the window, activate the rail drone until it reaches the farthest point on its path.
File:W1-2-supportive-apparatus-solution-6.jpg|Step 6: Grab the hexahedron and place it on the very corner. Connect the red connector on the rail drone to the receiver next to the progress wheel with your spare connector, by placing it on the hexahedron.

'''Surfing''' is the fourth main puzzle in the Western Delta area of The Talos Principle 2.

== Puzzle elements ==
{{Puzzle Element List|Blue door=true|Connector=true|Fan=true|Hexahedron=true|Rail drone=true|Pressure plate=true|Receiver=true}}

==Overview==
When you enter the puzzle, there is a big room where you find a [[rail drone]] and a [[connector]]. The rail drone is on a path with a [[pressure plate]] and a [[fan]] without the blades. To the right is a red [[emitter]]. In front of you are three rooms. The first room on the left is blocked off with a [[blue door]] which is connected to a blue [[receiver]]. In that room, is a [[hexahedron]]. The second room in the middle is blocked off by a grate, and has a blue emitter. The third room, the one on the right, is blocked off by another blue wall connected to a blue receiver. Inside the room is another connector and a detached fan blade. Behind a half-wall is another blue receiver, which controls access to the progress wheel.

== Hints ==
{{ProgressiveHint|A basic hint|Since the name of the puzzle is ''Surfing'', you will have to keep some equipment on a moving surfboard. Like a surfboard, you may have to "ride the waves".}}
{{ProgressiveHint|If you're having trouble getting started|Take your time positioning the the rail drone at the right place so that you can unlock whichever door you're targeting at this time.}}
{{ProgressiveHint|If your laser to the right door is getting blocked|The rail drone does not have the correct angle for this. Use something else.}}
{{ProgressiveHint|If your laser is getting blocked at the end|At the end of your puzzle, you cannot use just a single connector to connect all the receivers.}}

== Solution ==
{{Spoiler|
<gallery mode="slideshow">
File:W1-4-surfing-solution-01.jpg|Step 1: Activate the rail drone so that it is somewhere in the middle of the blue emitter and the receiver on the left.
File:W1-4-surfing-solution-02.jpg|Step 2: Open the blue door by keeping the connector on top of the rail drone. Grab the hexahedron from the room and bring it out.

'''Servitor''' is the first main puzzle in the [[Western Delta]] area of The Talos Principle 2.

== Puzzle elements ==
{{Puzzle Element List|Blue door=true|Connector=true|Fan=true|Ladder=true|Rail drone=true|Pressure plate=true|Receiver=true}}

==Overview==
As you enter the puzzle, you see a [[rail drone]] already connected to a red [[emitter]] via a [[connector]]. There is a blue emitter to the right across a grill fence, and a fan that leads back outside. To the left is a room blocked off by a [[blue door]] that can be deactivated by a [[pressure plate]]. There is a ladder that leads back out. That room has another blue door that gets deactivated when the pressure plate in the first room is inactive. Further in, there is a blue [[receiver]] leading to the progress wheel.

== Hints ==
{{ProgressiveHint|A basic hint|Rail drones get activated by a laser beam of the appropriate color. They can push down pressure plates. Their path can be interrupted by equipment.}}
{{ProgressiveHint|If you're having trouble getting started|You can stand on rail drones. You can remove obstacles on the path of the rail drone. You can also control if the rail drone is active from far away if you're able connect or disconnect its energy source}}
{{ProgressiveHint|If your laser is being interrupted by a grill|You need elevation and the correct angle. You may have to move the item from far away so that it gets the right angle}}

== Solution ==
{{Spoiler|

'''Elements''' is the sixth main puzzle in the Western Delta area of The Talos Principle 2.

== Puzzle elements ==
{{Puzzle Element List|Blue door=true|Connector=true|Rail drone=true|Purple barrier=true|Receiver=true|Switch=true}}

==Overview==
When you enter the puzzle, you see a large open area, with a blue [[mover]] on the right, a [[fan]] activated by a [[switch]] in front of you, a blue [[emitter]] on the left wall, and a [[connector]] in the middle of the room. On the left is a small room blocked off by a [[purple barrier]]. Inside the room is a red mover, a connector, and a red [[emitter]]. Further along, to the left of the main room is a corridor blocked off by a high grate, and a blue [[receiver]] that gives access to the progress wheel.

==Hints==
{{ProgressiveHint|A basic hint|Don't overthink this puzzle. Play around with the ''elements'' and you'll figure it out.}}
{{ProgressiveHint|If you don't seem to have enough elevation|You may need a bit more push from a bit more equipment}}

== Solution ==
{{Spoiler|
<gallery mode="slideshow">

Alf: Changed mover to rail drone in description

[[File:Mover.jpg|thumb|A red Mover.]]
'''Rail drones''' are puzzle elements in [[The Talos Principle 2]]. They move (along a predetermined path drawn as a white line on the ground) only when activated by a [[laser]] of the correct color. They can pass through [[purple barrier]]s but not [[blue door]]s.

The distance from the ground to the top of the platform is similar to the height of a [[hexahedron]]. In particular, the player can jump from the ground to the top of a platform or place an object (for example, a [[connector]]) on a platform. Also similar to hexahedrons, they will stay at a fixed position in the air when over an active [[fan]].

From the introduction to Are We There Yet? Where We Came From, Where We're Going, And Why You'll Need Snacks, by Valerie Contera-Romero:

Sometimes people point at the last few hundred (or thousand) years of human history and say, look at how ugly it all is! Look at what a mess we've made! Maybe modernity was a bad idea, maybe we should stick to living like cavemen. And I get it, it *is* ugly and messy. But the mistake is thinking that where we are right now is the endpoint, that this is the adulthood of the human species.

I mean, try to apply what you know about human development to human history. Think about babies.

Babies are ugly. Admit it, we all know it, they look like tiny old people covered in mucus. They have soft heads! And they grow into children, tiny sociopaths with underdeveloped brains. And then they become teenagers, pimply self-righteous lunatics driven by hormones.

And then, slowly, if you're lucky, they gradually become adults.

The development of the human individual is always ugly and messy, but that's the point: it's development towards something. The same applies to humanity as a whole. On a geological scale, we've barely just come into existence. We've gotten through the baby phase, just about survived our childhood, but we're barely teenagers. Stopping here would be disastrous, and a betrayal of everything that we could still become. We may feel the weight of history on our shoulders, but this is just the prologue. To put it in pop culture terms, we haven't even made it out of the tutorial yet.

Just because it's all pimples and hormones and frustration right now doesn't mean it's never going to change.

Star (TTP2)

2023-12-19T00:12:15Z

Alf: Typo

'''Stars''' are collectible items in The Talos Principle 2.

{{Quote|I've discovered what seems like another mystery to solve: stars, clearly inspired by the Simulation, which are gained by solving puzzles related to these monuments.|1k}}

In total there are 24 stars, two in each of the 12 [[:Category:TTP2 Areas|main areas]]. Each star is collected at the base of a special monument, and these monuments come in three varieties:

* '''A Pandora monument''' releases its star when Pandora’s box is activated, which almost always requires connecting a laser. This sometimes requires taking elements out of their original puzzles.
* '''A Prometheus monument''' requires finding a "sprite" somewhere in the level. Touching the sprite causes it to fly off to a predetermined location, and repeating this process eventually brings the sprite to the Prometheus monument, unlocking a star.
* '''A Sphinx monument''' has a plaque with a clue about how to unlock the associated star. This might require using switches, buttons, or other components throughout the level.

Every time a star is collected from the base of a monument you can hear a quote by their corresponding character. These quotes are given in sequential order and are not tied to a specific area (i.e., on collecting the first Prometheus monument star you will hear the first quote by Prometheus, no matter in which area).

Collecting all 24 stars unlocks a gate in [[Astronomical Temple]], which provides an additional cutscene and earns the "The Edge of Forever" [[Achievements|achievement]]. This is also a requirement for the "Renaissance Robot" achievement.

== List of Pandora monuments ==

* [[Grasslands Ring#Pandora Monument|Grasslands Ring]] (East 1)

=== Pandora’s quotes ===

* When the first man picked up the first stone, he did not do so to forge a tool; he did so to smite his brother.
* The hunter does not hunt because he is hungry; he hunts because he revels in death.
* False idols are worshipped not because they are idols, but because they are false. True idols are rejected, because the truth is feared.
* Horses are broken, not taught. That is the way of humankind.
* If humankind had no more cause for war, it would make war for sport instead.
* The honest philosopher is rewarded with poison; the hypocrite is rewarded with power.
* There is no tool that is not also a weapon; and no human that would not wield it as one.
* It is not the voice of God that a prophet seeks in the desert, but the silence of man.

=== Prometheus’ quotes ===

* Not all things must be balanced. When good is weighed against evil, tip the scale.
* We cannot return to the past; but the future can redeem all that has happened.
* Utopia is impossible; but the future that is possible will seem like a dream to those who are alive now.
* You must yearn for a better world, yearn for it with such intensity that your heart suffers; keep your eyes on that distant vision even when you know that you may never reach it.
* Great works have been accomplished by those who believed in humankind; but greater things than these may yet be accomplished by those who uphold the faith.
* To create, to understand, and to transform; these are the greatest acts of humankind.
* God appears, and God is light, to those poor souls who dwell in night. But does a human display to those who dwell in realms of day.
* {{TODO|One more Prometheus quote is needed.}}

=== Sphinx’s quotes ===

* Every answer leads to another question; the last answer leads to the first question.
* The wheel turns, but without the road it cannot move.
* If the fool persisted in his foolishness, would he become wise?
* None may know what came first, error or sin; and yet every choice depends on it.
* When the heavens are silent, what it a prophet, and what is a tyrant?
* If the answers to philosophy are true, why has no philosopher changed the world?
* In times of war, is it wisdom or folly to give a sword to a child?
* A hammer forges, and a hammer breaks. But who can know the heart of the blacksmith?

At the east, north and northwest limits of the island there are three fans that will propel you to different points of interest near the central, mountainous area. Next to the east fan there is a wooden bench.

This is the only main area where no ancient human artifacts can be found.

The Talos Principle is a videogame franchise developed by Croteam and published by Devolver Digital. It consists of the following releases:

* [[The Talos Principle|The Talos Principle]]
* [[Sigils of Elohim]]
* [[The Talos Principle: Road to Gehenna]]
* [[The Talos Principle VR]]
* [[The Talos Principle 2|The Talos Principle 2]]

The games take place in a hypothetical future in which the human species (referred to as biological humans) has become extinct due to a virus released from the permafrost, but have managed to continue human civilization via sentient human-like androids. The series deals with topics such as consciousness, meaning of existence, artificial intelligence, transhumanism, or anthropogenic climate change, from philosophical, political and religious points of view. It quotes fragments from historical philosophers, writers and thinkers, with texts from other fictional figures.

Rotating platform

Alf: Describe the two varieties of rotating platforms

Rotating platforms are small square chambers over a circular platform that can be rotated. There are two main varieties:
* two cornering walls, with a combination of bars and windows, and two switches on the inner side of the walls to rotate the platform clockwise or counterclockwise; they can also have [[blue doors]] that close when the platform rotates, or regular ones that need to be opened by other means
* two crossing walls with receivers used to rotate them 90 degrees; when the receiver stops being active they return to their original position

They are introduced in the area [[Circular Oasis]].

Straton's audio logs

2023-12-17T11:04:20Z

Alf: /* Straton 12 */ Add audio file

[[File:Straton of Stageira.jpg|thumb|"Hologram" of Straton of Stageira]]'''Straton's audio logs''' are twelve recordings made by [[Straton of Stageira]]. The player acquires an audio log by touching what appears to be a hologram of Straton sitting in a pensive pose. This causes the figure of Straton to disappear, and the player hears one of the audio logs. The logs can later be heard again from the [[Interface]] research tab.

The audio logs are unlocked in sequence; there is no correspondence between an area and a specific log. See each individual [[:Category:TTP2 Areas|area page]] for information about where to find its Straton hologram.
{{Clear}}

== Straton 1 ==
[[File:Straton 1 - Audio log.mp3|thumb|Straton defines the Talos Principle]]
Whether it is true that Daedalus constructed the giant Talos, or as others say he was the creation of Hephaestus, what we may be certain of is that he was made of bronze, and had but one vein, within which flowed a liquid substance like blood, which some claim was quicksilver, and others assert was ichor such as flows in the veins of the gods. The loss of that liquid caused him to die, as a man dies when he loses his blood. May we not then say that Talos, though created as a machine or a toy, had all the essential properties of a man? He moved of his own volition. He spoke and could be spoken to, had wishes and desires. Indeed in the tale of the Argonauts, that was the cause of his downfall.

If, then, a machine may have all the properties of a man, and act as a man while driven only by the ingenious plan of its construction and the interaction of its materials according to the principles of nature, then does it not follow that man may also be seen as a machine? This contradicts all the schools of metaphysics, yet even the most faithful philosopher cannot live without his blood.

== Straton 2 ==
[[File:Straton 2.mp3|thumb|Straton extends the Talos Principle.]]
We begin with the self because that is what determines our existence as individuals; but the self cannot exist without that which surrounds it. The citizen lives within the city; and the city lives within the cosmos. So now we must apply the principle we have discovered to the wider world, and ask: if man is like a machine, could it be that the universe is similar in nature? And if so, what follows from that fact?

== Straton 3 ==
[[File:Straton 3.mp3|thumb|Straton considers the nature of the city.]]
Let us consider the city. What is a city? It is not a gift from the gods, nor the product of Nature. Unlike a mountain or river, it is something that must be built through deliberate arrangements of material by a mind imposing order on the world; and it is built to serve a purpose. To that end it has roads and fountains and walls; and to the same end it has laws and leaders. And though each city is built according to a different plan, all cities must serve their purpose, or they will fall and become ruins. Therefore we may conclude that a city is also a kind of machine, constructed to improve the life of its citizens.

== Straton 4 ==
[[File:Straton 4.mp3|thumb|Straton on the journey of philosophy.]]
To us who have only just begun this journey of philosophy, the world may seem like a mystery that can never be solved. A great deal has been written since the days of the Seven Sages, but how much of it is truth, and how much idle speculation? I have offended many by saying that most philosophy will, as the centuries pass, be discarded as foolishness and superstition, but it is a truth only philosophers fail to see. And yet we cannot abandon reason and conclude that we cannot know anything. Rather we must accept that the journey towards understanding will be long, and our task is to build a foundation for those who will one day arrive at its destination.

== Straton 5 ==
[[File:Straton 5.mp3|thumb|Straton speaks about freedom.]]
What is freedom? Is it merely to be ruled by those who speak one’s own language or share one’s customs? No, that is merely a more convenient servitude. Is it to have no obligations, no loyalties? No, that is not to be free, but to be alone. What of freedom from hunger and thirst? Here we are closer to the truth, for freedom requires life; but one may have all the meat and all the wine in the world and still not be free. The most important freedom of all is the freedom to speak one’s mind; to make one’s thoughts public without fear; and so participate openly and boldly in democracy. It is the freedom of the dissenter and the gadfly, the rebel and the fool, that is the measure of whether a city is free.

== Straton 6 ==
[[File:Straton 6.mp3|thumb|Straton asks what the city owes to the citizen.]]
We have of late been told much about what the citizen owes the city: loyalty, obedience, gratitude. And I will not argue with those who say that without some loyalty to a greater good, a man is little more than a savage; and I will even say that these days there are more savages amongst us than amongst the barbarians, who we call savages out of ignorance and arrogance. But there is another question that we are rarely encouraged to ask: what does the city owe the citizen? What must it offer to earn loyalty, obedience, and gratitude? And if, as we said have said, a city is a kind of machine; should a machine that does not fulfill its purpose perhaps be repaired… or replaced?

== Straton 7 ==
[[File:Straton 7.mp3|thumb|Straton considers the invisible forces in our lives.]]
The world we see around us may not always be as it appears. Some philosophers have said that we are surrounded by nothingness, merely because air is not visible to the eye; and yet one needs only to observe the wind in the trees, or to plunge one’s hand into the clear waters of the Aegean, to see that air has material substance. The same applies to many other forces that shape our lives. That they seem invisible does not mean that they are absent; it only means that we have not yet learned how to observe them. And yet… lately I have struggled to understand what I am seeing. This strange, insubstantial island… these machine men… this woman with a fierce voice like an Amazon… who are they? How did I get here?

== Straton 8 ==
[[File:Straton 8.mp3|thumb|Straton on the difficulty of standing up for one's principles.]]
It is easy to speak of one’s principles when the world is at peace, and there is no price to pay for thoughts that stray from what is permitted. But when times grow hard, and even ordinary men are filled with mindless anger, when the face of the enemy is suddenly known to every virtuous citizen, and to question to virtuous is to be likened to Ephialtes… when every hoary old superstition suddenly springs back to life as if it had never been defeated, and all the work of the philosophers seems to have been for nought… then one may discover what one truly believes.

== Straton 9 ==
[[File:Straton 9.mp3|thumb|Straton ponders the mysteries that surround him.]]
I see these beings, these children of a future age, wandering around an island more fantastical than Atlantis itself, looking desperately to find themselves. I reach out to them, but they cannot see me. I speak to them, but I do not know if they can hear me. Am I being punished? Are the gods playing some cruel trick on me? Why can I remember so little? What is this sorrowful voice I hear, whispering such terrible thoughts? I must use what remains of my mind. I must… understand.

== Straton 10 ==
[[File:Straton 10.mp3|thumb|Straton considers whether he lived a good life.]]
What did it mean, in the end, to be Straton? To have few friends and many enemies? To write harsh words because it seemed necessary? To pursue the truth at the expense of all else, of family, of love… to pursue that one principle to the point of… of death. Is that what I was? A life lived against the tides of history, broken, jagged, unrelenting? Not a kind old man beloved of his children and then forgotten, but a thorn, a rock in a show, insisting on the truth until it becomes a hideous, frightening thing that cannot be tolerated even by those who agree with it? Was that a good life?

== Straton 11 ==
[[File:Straton 11.mp3|thumb|Straton wonders what would make a good life possible.]]
Perhaps for the life of an individual citizen to be good, first the city itself must be good. Perhaps even the cosmos itself must be made better, before such a thing as a good life is truly possible. These insubstantial creatures that walk through my thoughts – perhaps they can live that life. They are, after all, human beings like myself. This much I have understood. Is that why they have summoned me? Can I somehow bring them into this world, make them real… Or am I… No…

== Straton 12 ==
[[File:Straton 12.mp3|thumb|Straton faces his end.]]
I have considered the visions that have plagued me on this strange journey, this insubstantial pageant all around me, and I have asked myself: is this Hades? Are these the Blessed Isles? For I never believed such things existed, except by made by the hands of the living. The conclusion I have come to frightens me, but I must face it. It is not this island that is insubstantial, but I. Straton of Stageira is dead; he has been dead for many ages of the world. I am a ghost; a flicker of memory, soon to be extinguished. And yet I am pleased. Perhaps I did not live a good life; but I lived a necessary one. I am gone, but humankind abides, and the flame of Prometheus still burns. In its bright light, I will rest easy, knowing that my work is accomplished.

The Talos Principle 2

2023-12-16T12:48:12Z

Alf: /* Puzzles */ Add rotating platforms to puzzle elements

[[File:TTP2-cover-art.jpg|Steam cover art|right|frameless]]The Talos Principle 2 is a videogame developed by [https://www.croteam.com/ Croteam] and published by [https://www.devolverdigital.com/ Devolver Digital]; it was released on 2nd November 2023. It is a sequel to the first game, [[The Talos Principle]]. It is described as “a thought-provoking first-person puzzle experience that greatly expands on the first game's philosophical themes and stunning environments with increasingly mind-bending challenges”. [https://store.steampowered.com/app/835960/The_Talos_Principle_2/]

== Setting ==

Set at least a millennium after the first game, The Talos Principle 2 takes place primarily in two locations: the city of [[New Jerusalem]] (populated by [[New human|new humans]]), and a mysterious island from which strange energy readings have been detected. An [[Map|in-game map]] labels the 13 areas of the island.

== Characters ==

The player takes the role of "[[1k (1000)|1k]]", so named as the one thousandth person born after the conclusion of the original game. Joining 1k on the main expedition to the island are [[Byron (7)|Byron]], [[Melville (142)|Melville]], [[Alcatraz (264)|Alcatraz]], and [[Yaqut (764)|Yaqut]]. Other notable characters include [[Hermanubis (452)|Hermanubis]] (mayor of New Jerusalem), [[Athena (1)|Athena]] (its founder), [[Cornelius (3)|Cornelius]], and [[Miranda]].

Epilogue: [[Leap of Faith]] / [[Momentum Deferred]] / [[Certain Fathoms in the Earth]]

== Puzzles ==

Most of the main [[:Category:TTP2 Areas|areas]] introduce a new mechanic, beginning with simple puzzles that function as a tutorial and escalating to more challenging applications of the mechanic. The puzzles, ordered as they appear in the story, are shown in the table below. For an alphabetized list, see the [[:Category:TTP2 Puzzles#mw-pages|Puzzles category]].

{{TTP2PuzzleTable}}

The [[jammer]], [[Pressure plate|pressure plate]], [[hexahedron]], [[connector]], [[fan]], [[platform]], and [[switch]] all return from the first game. New puzzle elements include
* [[RGB converter|RGB converter]]s,
* [[Driller|Driller]]s,

* [[Teleporter|Teleporter]]s,
* [[Gravshifter|Gravshifter]]s,
* [[Rotating platform]]s,
* [[Mover|Mover]]s,
* [[Activator|Activator]]s.

== Collectibles ==

The 12 main [[:Category:TTP2 Areas|areas]] each contain

* 10 particle clouds rewarded for completing puzzles (these are similar to [[Sigil|sigils]] from the first game). Progressing to the next part of the story requires collecting at least 8 of these.
* 2 [[Prometheus Spark|Prometheus sparks]], which can be substituted for the puzzle sparks to progress the story faster.
* 2 [[Star|stars]], each one connected to a monument. These come in three varieties throughout the game: Pandora monuments, Sphinx monuments, and Prometheus monuments.

Scattered throughout the maps are several [[:Category:Audio Logs|audio logs]] and [[:Category:Ancient Human Artifacts|ancient human artifacts]]. Accessing terminals also provides numerous [[:Category:TTP2 Documents|documents]], some of which come in collectible sequences.

New human

2023-12-15T15:49:08Z

Alf: /* Thecla (862) */ Add note about the Sinner achievement

'''New humans''', referred to in-game as simply '''humans''', are the sentient beings that live on Earth during [[The Talos Principle 2]]. The name of the their species is borrowed from the name used for their [[Ancient human|ancient ancestors]].

When the original human race was near extinction, a team at the [[Institute for Applied Noematics]] created a system designed to eventually allow a new (robotic) human race to emerge. The first new human (the protagonist of first [[The Talos Principle]] game) named herself [[Athena (1)]].

Shortly after creating Athena, the system designed by the ancient humans also gave life to two other new humans: [[Eustathius (2)]] and [[Cornelius (3)]]. Together they brought to life ten additional humans. The twelve humans born after Athena are collectively known as the [[:Category:First Companions|First Companions]].

New humans developed a civilization in the city of [[New Jerusalem]]. There was also an attempt to create a second city, [[New Alexandria]], but this effort ended with a disaster that killed several people.

In order to avoid destroying the environment as the ancient humans did, [[Athena]] suggested limiting the new human race to exactly 1000 people. The creation of this 1000th human, and the belief that they should be the final new human, became known as "the [[Goal]]". By the time [[1k|1k (1000)]] was born, [[Neith (33)]] had taken over welcoming new humans into the world.
