The Hexahedron is the large puzzle structure in the center of the Isle of the Blessed, part of the Road to Elysium expansion to The Talos Principle 2.

Although the player can walk on some parts of the Hexahedron from the start of the chapter, its puzzles are only active after the player completes all the main puzzles of the island.

Puzzle Elements

• Blue door
• Connector
• Emitter
• Fan
• Gravshifter
• Jammer
• Pressure plate
• Purple barrier
• Receiver

Overview

The structure resembles a very large cube, hence its name, and it features a maze-like entanglement of pathways with lots of stairs and Gravity Surfaces. The player proceeds through the building in a gauntlet of smaller, independent sections. After each section, a message that reads "Checkpoint reached" appears, indicating progress and saving the state of the puzzle in case of a reset.

The overarching goal of the puzzle is to reach the unique polychrome Progress Wheel located in the heart of the building.
