Puzzle elements


Overview

When you enter the area, you see two emitters, a red one and a blue one, each at an angle, and each behind a wide copper wall. In the area, you find a driller and a connector. Further along, there is a blue wall leading to an area that has a connector, several windows and a blue wall further inside. That blue wall can be deactivated by a blue receiver, and gives access to the progress list.

Hints

A basic hint:

[ hint ]
Since the name of the puzzle is Seesaw, you will have to go from a state where one of the elements is active to another state where the other element is active.

If you're having trouble getting started:

[ hint ]
The first task is to bring out the second connector into the main area.

If you're having trouble with intersecting beams:

[ hint ]
Focus on the red laser first. Can you set it up in such a way that you can remote deactivate it?

If you're stuck outside:

[ hint ]
To make progress, you have to get the driller and a connector inside.

Solution

[ solution ]
  • Take the Connector and link the red Emitter to the red Receiver.
    Take the Connector and link the red Emitter to the red Receiver.
  • Take the second Connector and link the red Emitter to the red Receiver. This time, place it down to that the laser goes through the bronze wall.
    Take the second Connector and link the red Emitter to the red Receiver. This time, place it down to that the laser goes through the bronze wall.
  • Take the Driller, go inside the second room and drill the wall by the red Emitter through one of the windows, at the place where the second laser goes through.
    Take the Driller, go inside the second room and drill the wall by the red Emitter through one of the windows, at the place where the second laser goes through.
  • Take the first Connector, and link the blue Emitter to the blue Receiver. Place the Connector down so that the blue laser goes through the wall.
    Take the first Connector, and link the blue Emitter to the blue Receiver. Place the Connector down so that the blue laser goes through the wall.
  • Walk inside the second room and pick up the Driller. Drill the wall by the blue Emitter so that the blue laser goes through the wall.
    Walk inside the second room and pick up the Driller. Drill the wall by the blue Emitter so that the blue laser goes through the wall.

  • Take the Driller, go inside the second room and drill the wall by the red Emitter through one of the windows.
    Take the Driller, go inside the second room and drill the wall by the red Emitter through one of the windows.
  • Take the first Connector again, connect it to both Emitters and Receivers. Place it down so that both Receivers are in sight, the red laser goes through the Driller hole and the blue laser is blocked by the bronze wall.
