Aerial view

The Wooded Plateau, commonly known as East 2, is a heavily forested plateau in the mountainous eastern part of the island. Supports a large deer population.

Ordinarily this is the second area the user would visit. The cluster tower of this area looks like an imposing castle.

The area introduces the player to a new tool, the Driller.

Solution

[ basic hint ]

[ solution step by step ]

• 
  The connector on top of a rock near Pandora Monument; follow its connection path.
• 
  It will lead to another connector on top of a structure in the woods. Keep going.
• 
  Eventually you’ll arrive at the connector we need to feed the green laser beam.
• 
  Use the RGB converter in Backup to feed the last connector.
• 
  Go to Seesaw and use a connector to send the green laser beam to Pandora’s box.
