I would have never thought of that, and I blew past the other puzzles pretty easily. I was stuck on this one for about four hours until I bit the bullet. Thanks for the vid!
I was brute forcing alot of these, trying every permutation and beam block I can in some cases lol The final recording makes it look easy but figuring them out was hard
I used the pillars for the red ones. I needed many tries, but sometime, it worked. The most frustrating thing about this puzzle, you take one wrong step, and you can start over.....
Well, actually, you can most times manually/linearly go back, and I'd even recommend it, since then you can spot opportunities on the path. That's how I solved it. The trick is to use multiple sources and blocking (for example - you connect your connect to source and 2 another connectors - one for destination and one for source/blocking the wall source - then you move the source connector connector which was blocking the energy source but the energy source immeditely goes into your starting connector and continues feeding it energy - uuugh I know it sounds extremely confusing but it works and allowed me not to have to restart all the time and instead spot the golden opportunity at the end to solve it)
Your solution was brilliant. I managed to do it symmetrically, but only after realizing that if I was quick enough, I could pick up an inverter before its laser connections cut off any others. It definitely didn't feel like the intended way to do it, so I appreciate you sharing!
This was actually the only puzzle I had to google the answer in the WHOLE game. And it was also the only one I spent more than 20 minutes on (excluding the giant cube from Island of the Blessed since it all counts as only one). Absolutely hated that we get softlocked and need to restart it every single try, and I was unfortunately too focused on doing it another way that I didn't even think of breaking the connection from far back and making it kind of assymetrical (I was always positioning the first blue-red inverter in the center)
This was not my solution. I did the red ones from the very back, but in line with the tables. Blue ones on the tables. Second red one placed just after the last blue wall line, but again, in line with the tables and source. Nothing off to the sides like you did. The thing that did the trick after many many attempts, that seemed to make it work, was placing the first red setup way back at the back, and not trying to move it farther forward than that until the very end. Earlier attempts I was placing red farther forward earlier on.
This theoretically should not have a working solution. Look at 0:51 where he connects to the blue emitter, the solution should work without this connection or not not work at all. The playthrough above works despite the first red block requiring 2 red beams to open/close, remaining open when transitioning from open to close if you have already have a one red beam active. While the same transition fails if you do not already have one beam active.
I think I can sum it up quite simply saying AAAAA Blocking beams with each other with perfect placement and sometimes timing is just one step too complex for me, I’m having to use guides for most of these. 😓
@@JamesLovesGames118 lol when I played no one else had a guide yet, some of them took like an hour+ to figure out Also I had a 102 fever and was becoming brain dead lol resorted to brute force trying every permutation till something looked good

I'm glad I was able to share these too, been fun to see the feed back and also the view counts make a good measure of how hard each one is

aw dang you were so close to being smart ;)
just playing🙃
When you've spent an hour on a puzzle and the guide is a minute long 😭
There there, we're only human

cool name lol
This was hard. I have found another option.
what'd you find?
I hate this one
Yea it took me a WHILE

You need the Emitter because when you pick up the first inverter you need the new one to invert the color for the raised one
