Puzzle Elements

Overview

When you enter the puzzle, there is a big room where you find a mover and a connector. The mover is on a path with a pressure plate and a fan without the blades. To the right is a red emitter. In front of you are three rooms. The first room on the left is blocked off with a blue door which is connected to a blue receiver. In that room, is a hexahedron. The second room in the middle is blocked off by a grate, and has a blue emitter. The third room, the one on the right, is blocked off by another blue wall connected to a blue receiver. Inside the room is another connector and a detached fan blade. Behind a half-wall is another blue receiver, which controls access to the progress wheel.

Step 1: Activate the mover so that it is somewhere in the middle of the blue emitter and the receiver on the left.
Step 2: Open the blue door by keeping the connector on top of the mover. Grab the hexahedron from the room and bring it out.
Step 3: Activate the mover again until it pushes down on the pressure plate.
Step 4: Open the right blue door using the hexahedron to lift the connector. Bring out the connector and the fan blade.
Step 5: Place the fan blade on the fan receptacle
Step 6: Prep one connector by connecting it to the blue emitter and the blue receiver closest to the progress wheel, which is visible from far away.
Step 7: Place the connector on the mover.
Step 8: Activate the mover till it reaches the fan and gets pushed up high
Step 9: Use the connector you have with you to open the blue door on the right to get access to the right room.
