}}'''Suicide Mission''' is a puzzle in World A2 of [[The Talos Principle]].

== Puzzle Elements ==
{{Puzzle Element List|Blue door=true|Guard=true|Jammer=true|Switch=true|Turret=true}}

== Overview ==
This puzzle offers the player a Jammer. An inactive Turret stares down a choke point with a Switch, a Blue door, and a Guard (which is bouncing between a fence and the Blue barrier), in that order. The switch is attached to the Turret, and the Sigil is beyond the Guard, down a winding hallway.

== Hints ==
Hints given are sequenced in order of ascending bluntness (as you proceed from the top down, the hints become more and more obvious).
{{Spoiler|2=hint|Why is there a Turret in this puzzle, if it starts inactive?}}{{Spoiler|2=hint|What happens if a Turret and a Guard meet?}}{{Spoiler|2=hint|How can you survive and activate the Turret?}}{{Spoiler|2=hint|There is no such thing as a double negative in The Talos Principle.}}{{Spoiler|2=hint|You can jam something that is not active.}}

== Solution ==
{{Spoiler|2=solution|Jam the Turret, then flip the Switch. Jam the Blue door and allow the Guard to make its way to the Turret. Run through and take the Sigil.}}

}}'''Hall of Windows''' is a puzzle in World A2 of [[The Talos Principle]].

== Puzzle Elements ==
{{Puzzle Element List|Blue door=true|Jammer=true|Purple barrier=true}}

== Overview ==
This puzzle offers the player two Jammers, one of which is trapped behind a Purple barrier. There are three Blue doors between the player and the Sigil, as well. The trapped Jammer can see all three of these Blue doors through windows in its area. For clarity, the other Jammer is free to be carried.

== Hints ==
{{Spoiler|2=hint|How could you make one Jammer activate two of the Blue doors for you?}}{{Spoiler|2=hint|There is no way to make all three Blue doors of this level open at the same time.}}{{Spoiler|2=hint|There is no such thing as a double negative in The Talos Principle.}}{{Spoiler|2=hint|Having the free Jammer behind the first Blue door would be useful.}}

== Solution ==
{{Spoiler|2=solution|Use the trapped Jammer to jam the first Blue door. Bring the free Jammer past it and use it to jam the first Blue door from its other side. Go through the Purple barrier and use the trapped Jammer to open either remaining Blue door. Pick up your free Jammer and use it to jam whichever Blue door you did not jam with the trapped Jammer.}}

}}'''The Guards Must Be Crazy''' is a puzzle in World A2 of [[The Talos Principle]].

== Puzzle Elements ==
{{Puzzle Element List|Blue door=true|Guard=true|Jammer=true}}

== Overview ==
This puzzle offers the player no initial items. A Guard defends a Jammer near the entrance to the puzzle, and another does the same along a hallway leading further into the level. Beyond this hallway is a set of two Blue doors with a Guard bouncing between them leading to the Sigil.

== Hints ==
{{Spoiler|2=hint|You can get the first Jammer just by timing when you run around the Guard.}}{{Spoiler|2=hint|There are no double negatives in The Talos Principle.}}{{Spoiler|2=hint|You can jam the second Guard with the second Jammer to get the first one past it.}}{{Spoiler|2=hint|Does the third Guard have to be jammed for you to get past the Blue doors?}}

== Solution ==
{{Spoiler|2=solution|Run past the first Guard and pick up the Jammer, timing your run back so that you stay out of its radius at all times. Jam the second Guard down the long hallway, and run past it to get the second Jammer. Jam the second Guard again, while it is still jammed by the first Jammer, and retrieve your first Jammer. Use either Jammer to jam the first Blue door, allowing the third Guard to enter the same room as you. Be aware of where the second and third Guards are during this entire process, and stay out of their radii. Jam the second Blue door and run through it, dodging any Guards that are near. Take the Sigil.}}

Sigil

2023-12-08T21:29:46Z

Eetime: Fixed two minor grammatical errors.

[[File:Floating sigil.jpg|thumb|A floating sigil at the end of a puzzle]]
[[File:Museum of the Simulation - Arranger 3.jpg|thumb|A solved tetromino arranger]]
'''Sigil''', also called '''tetrominoes''', are rewards for completing puzzles throughout [[The Talos Principle]] and in the tutorial of [[The Talos Principle 2]]. After collecting enough sigils, the player can unlock certain tools or areas using '''tetromino arrangers'''.

== The Talos Principle ==

=== Green ===

Green sigils are required for the player to leave the [[Land of Ruins]] (Building A) as well as to enter the [[Land of Death]] and the [[Land of Faith]].

=== Yellow ===

Yellow sigils are used to unlock new [[:Category:Puzzle Elements|puzzle elements]], such as the [[hexahedron]] and [[connector]].

The tetromino arrangers on the gates that block access to [[:Category:TTP1 Star Worlds|star worlds]] also use yellow tetrominoes, one for each [[Star (TTP1)|star]] the player has collected.

=== Red ===

Red sigils are used to access floors 1 through 5 of the [[Tower]]. If the player has not yet approached the tetromino arranger for that floor, the collected red sigils are shown as a single dot in the game's interface. Once the arranger door has been visited, any sigils collected for that door are listed next to a large number for the floor.

=== Gray ===

Gray sigils are used to access floor 6 of the Tower. They are rewards for completing puzzles in the three [[:Category:TTP1 Worlds|star worlds]].

=== Blue ===

The tetromino arrangers in the [[:Category:TTP1 Worlds|messenger worlds]] use blue tetrominoes. However, the player cannot collect blue sigils; they are not rewards connected to any puzzles.

== The Talos Principle: Road to Gehenna ==

In the DLC for the first game, the reward for completing standard puzzles is not a sigil but rather a freed [[:Category:Programs|program]].

There is one star world whose portal is locked behind a tetromino arranger. As in the first game, collected stars appear here as yellow tetrominoes.

The puzzles in the star world grant gray sigils as rewards. These can be used to free [[Admin]].

== The Talos Principle 2 ==
[[File:Megastructure East - Tetromino bridge GR.jpg|alt=Tetromino bridge|thumb|A bridge constructed out of giant tetrominoes (the first and last squares are not part of tetrominoes)]]
In the sequel game, sigils appear as rewards in the [[Boot Sequence]]. Here, the green, yellow, and red sigils are all used to unlock gates. In all main, lost, and gold puzzles, completion leads to a [[progress wheel]], not a sigil.

Very large tetrominoes (no longer referred to as "sigils") are used to form bridges.

The [[Museum of the Simulation]] features several tetromino arrangers (as standalone interactive displays) as well solid models of the virtual sigils in each of its three puzzle rooms. Each sigil model is initially rotating on a pole; when the player completes a puzzle, the model stops rotating and descends towards the floor while a recording of the sigil-collection sound from the first game plays over a speaker.

Eetime: Added Sigil Puzzles section and solution image.

'''A1''' is the first world in the [[Land of Ruins]]. At the start of [[The Talos Principle]], the player awakens in this world. After leaving, the player can return to this world through a portal in Building A.

== Puzzle Elements ==
{{Puzzle Element List|Blue door=true|Guard=true|Jammer=true|Purple barrier=true}}

== Overview ==
There is a Jammer by the entrance, but a Purple barrier prevents it from being taken into the main puzzle area. However, this Jammer has a window, which can see the main puzzle area. In the main puzzle area, a Jammer jams the Blue door that prevents it from leaving an otherwise empty room. A winding hallway leads to the Sigil, but two Guards block the path.

== Hints ==
{{Spoiler|2=hint|You will need to free the Jammer behind the Blue door to solve this puzzle.}}{{Spoiler|2=hint|How could you keep the Blue door open without using the Jammer that is inside of it?}}{{Spoiler|2=hint|The Jammer behind the Purple barrier can jam the Blue door. Then, you can get the other Jammer into the rest of the puzzle.}}{{Spoiler|2=hint|Can you jam both Guards at the same time?}}{{Spoiler|2=hint|The Jammer behind the Purple barrier can jam a Guard through its window.}}

== Solution ==
{{Spoiler|2=solution|Use the first Jammer to jam the Blue door, which the second Jammer is already jamming. Then, take the Jammer behind the Blue door out into the main area. Use the Jammer behind the Purple barrier to jam a Guard instead, and use the now-free Jammer to jam the other Guard. Take the Sigil.}}

== Overview ==
Two Guards and a Blue door seem to block the path between the player and the Sigil. A Jammer is in an alcove behind a doorway that one of the Guards moved back and forth in front of. The other Guard bounces between a wall and a Blue door, which leads to an empty room.
