Overview

To find this puzzle, as you go from the Seventh Puzzle to the Eighth Puzzle, instead of crossing the bridge straight to reach 8, take the road to the right and follow it.

When you enter loop, you find a driller and a connector. The connector is already connected to a red energy source. There is a blocked off area to the right with a pressure plate and a fan, and several copper walls. You are able to explore further into the puzzle where you find a cube and two pressure plates. The progress wheel is blocked off from the player with a plasma field, which is turned off only when both pressure plates are pressed.

Hints

A basic hint:

[ hint ]

Since the name of the puzzle is Loop, some object will likely complete an entire orbit of the map.

If you're having trouble getting started:

[ hint ]

Consider if you really need the connector connected to the energy source at the very beginning of the puzzle, or if it can be put to other use.

If you don't understand what the fan is for:

[ hint ]

There is a window on the wall from where you can aim the driller at the corridor. How can you use that?

If you've figured out the fan but are missing the last piece:

At the very beginning of the puzzle, you make a hole with the driller. Don't use it just once!

[ alternative solution ]

• 
  Take the Connector and place it on the Pressure Plate.
• 
  Take the Driller and drill the wall inside the cell, from outside the door.
• 
  Walk around, and put the Hexahedron through the hole.
• 
  Replace the Connector on the Pressure Place with the Hexahedron.
• 
  Put the Connector on the other side of the wall.
• 
  Walk around, take the Connector and link the red Emitter to the red Receiver and place it down on one of the Pressure Plates in front of the Progress Wheel.
• 
  Take the Hexahedron and place it in front of the Fan.
• 
  Take the Driller and drill the wall on the right of the window.
• 
  Walk on top of the Pressure Plate by the Fan. Let the Hexahedron fly all the way to the far wall.
• 
  Take the Driller again and drill the wall on the left of the window, where the Hexahedron has landed.
• 
  Walk around, collect the Hexahedron through the hole and place it down on the second Pressure Plate by the Progress Wheel.
