Stars are collectible items in The Talos Principle 2.

I've discovered what seems like another mystery to solve: stars, clearly inspired by the Simulation, which are gained by solving puzzles related to these monuments.

In total there are 24 stars, two in each of the 12 main areas. Each star is collected at the base of a special monument, and these monuments come in three varieties:

  • Pandora monuments release their star when Pandora’s box is activated. This sometimes requires taking elements out of their original puzzles.
  • Prometheus monuments require finding a "sprite" somewhere in the level. Touching the sprite causes it to fly off to a predetermined location, and repeating this process eventually brings the sprite to the Prometheus monument, unlocking a star.
  • Sphinx monuments have a plaque with a clue about how to unlock the associated star. These can require using switches, buttons, or other components throughout the world.

Collecting all 24 stars unlocks a gate in Astronomical Temple, which provides an additional cutscene and earns the "The Edge of Forever" achievement. This is also a requirement for the "Renaissance Robot" achievement.
