Puzzle elements


Overview

When you enter this puzzle, you find yourself in the first room of a 5-room puzzle.

  • In the first room, there is a red emitter on the left corner. There is a switch on a short post in the middle of the room, and a set of gravity surfaces on a sliding rail on the left wall. A purple barrier goes on the right to Room 2, and a short open door goes to Room 3 in front.
  • In Room 2, there is a fan on one side that leads to a pedestal. On the pedestal is a connector.
  • In Room 3, a connector is freely available on the left. On the right is a red receiver that opens a blue door to Room 4.
  • In the fourth room, there is a fixed gravity surface vertically on the wall. A gravshifter is fixed to that surface. A red receiver opens the path to Room 5, which has the progress wheel.

Hints

A basic hint:

[ hint ]
Since the name of the puzzle is Transfer, you will have to transfer some equipment from one part of the puzzle to another.

If you're struggling to get started:

[ hint ]
The first objective is to get hold of the gravshifter.

If you're trying to open the final blue door but running out of connectors:

[ hint ]
Don't rush to solve the final blue door immediately. Think about the puzzle configuration, think why the gravity surface in the first room is movable. Think how you can keep the right side door open so you can access the fourth room.

A list of major objectives:

[ hint ]
Obtain the gravshifter. Obtain the connector from inside the second room. Elevate a connected source of red light. Perform a transfer. Connect the final emitter manually.
