Template:PuzzleInfobox The Mule is the gold puzzle in the Western Delta area of The Talos Principle 2.

Puzzle Elements

Overview

As you enter the puzzle, you see that it is a large area with a lot of puzzle elements. There is a connector and a teleporter available immediately, and there are several doors, a moving platform, a switch that is somewhat hard to find off to the side, and some fixed connectors as well. In a blocked off room, you will also find a driller.

Hints

A basic hint:

[ hint ]
Since the name of the puzzle is The Mule, you have to use the moving platform to move some equipment around quite a bit.

If you are having trouble getting started:

[ hint ]
The connector that makes the platform move needs to sit a bit to the side for it to function in all of the ways you need it to function. This means you have to babysit the process a bit, it cannot be fully automated.

If you managed to get inside but are unsure what to do next:

[ hint ]
Try to get all your equipment outside. You may need to mule some other equipment out. Remember that equipment can be active when it is being carried around.

Solution

Story

On completing this puzzle, we hear another set of dialog on this storyline:

It was your ... visions that gave me the final confirmation that I was right. You see, they're not all Athena's memories. Some of them are things Athena was never present for. Those are Miranda's memories, 1k. She's still in there. A ghost in the Machine. And we can save her.

If Miranda can be saved ... 1k ... this matters more than the Megastructure.
