Puzzle Elements


Overview

When you enter this puzzle, you find yourself at the near end of a circular area, with a hexahedron available on the left. On the right side is a set of three rooms, each blocked off by a blue door with pressure plates in front of them. At the very end of this series of rooms is a teleporter. On the left side is another room that curves inwards and goes down half a floor. At some elevation is a ledge with a pressure plate on it, and across the gap is a blue door that is blocking access to the progress wheel.

Hints

A basic hint:

[ hint ]
Since the name of the puzzle is Translocator, you have to use the teleporter throughout the puzzle to move yourself and some equipment.

[ hint ]
Focus first on getting both the teleporter and the hexahedron out into the open.
