Puzzle elements

Overview

Hints

If you're struggling to get started:

[ hint ]
Look at all the elements available to you: you have a hexahedron, a connector, a recorder and a fan.

If you're trying to figure out what all to activate:

[ hint ]
In order to solve the puzzle, every pressure plate on the alley needs to be active, as well as the receiver near the goal needs to be active.

If you're short one element:

[ hint ]
Notice that the fan blade is detachable.

If you're struggling with recorded elements not working:

[ hint ]
Notice that recorded elements only interact with other recorded elements. So a recorded hexahedron will only be floated by a recorded fan blade, not by the real fan blade. However fixed elements of the puzzle like pressure plates, emitters and receivers can be activated by both the real as well as the recorded puzzle elements.

If you want a sequence of things to execute:

[ hint ]
Using the recorded version of yourself, see what you can do to facilitate activating the fan and the blue laser receivers -- just facilitating is fine, you can leave the actual activation to the real version of yourself. Now, move on to the second stage of the puzzle, in this stage, activate every single pressure plate in the alley using whatever tools you have.
