Puzzle Elements


Overview

To reach this puzzle, take the path to the left of Puzzle 5 and follow it to go behind the structure.

When you enter the puzzle, you find yourself in a long room. On the ground, there is a connector, a pressure plate, a fan, and a blue mover. Above the entrance door is a blue emitter. At the end of the long room is a second floor. There is a hole in the floor that is directly above the fan on the ground floor, which is blocked off with a blue door. On that floor, there is another pressure plate, a teleporter, and a blue door leading to another room behind it. That room has a pressure plate and leads to an elevated platform with two pressure plates on it, which give access to the progress wheel.

Hints
