Here and There is the thirteenth puzzle in Into the Abyss, part of the Road to Elysium expansion for The Talos Principle 2.

Puzzle Elements

• Blue door
• Connector
• Emitter
• Hexahedron
• Inverter
• Pressure plate
• Receiver

Overview

Upon entering, a first room holds a blue Emitter, an Inverter and a Hexahedron. Beyond a first Blue door is a corridor: on the left, a cell locked from the inside contains a pre-connected Connector and Inverter as well as a Hexahedron. As the end of the corridor, a set of tow Blue doors, one controlled by a Pressure plate and the other one by a set of Receivers, protect the Progress Wheel.

Hints

If you have trouble getting started:

[ hint ]

There is a lot of material in the cell. You can bring out at least the Hexahedron and one other item by re-configuring the existing connections.

If you have trouble powering the remaining tool in the cell:

[ hint ]

The angles from the first room to the cell are very limited. Placing one of the tools in the corridor can help you reach both the tool in the cell and the Receivers.

If you are stuck with intersecting lasers:

[ hint ]

Hexahedrons can be used both to push down on Pressure plates, but they can also provide elevation changes that help with intersecting lasers. On the other hand, Connectors and Inverters can also be placed on Pressure plates if need be.

Solution

[ solution ]

• 
  Place the Hexahedron on the nearby Pressure plate.
• 
  Use the Inverter to link the Emitter to the other Inverter.
• 
  Walk inside the cell and add the nearby blue Receiver to the Inverter's targets.
• 
  Bring out the Connector, link it to the blue Emitter and swap it for the Hexahedron on the Pressure plate.
• 
  Bring out the second Hexahedron from the cell and place it down the corridor, next to the other Pressure plate.
• 
  Bring the first Inverter into the corridor, and use it to link the Connector to the other Inverter through the right window.
• 
  Reposition the second Inverter closer to the window, and add the blue Receiver by the Progress Wheel to its targets.
• 
  Reposition the first Inverter on top of the Hexahedron and add the red Receiver by the Progress Wheel to its targets.
• 
  Take the other Hexahedron and place it on the second Pressure plate to finish the puzzle.
