@@EntirelyPointlessContent actually sprinting and jumping is possible on PS5. I just didn't think there was enough room to sprint in that upper space. Clearly there is.
Good god, that is obnoxious! I spent a while completely unable to figure this one out and it turns out it is because I wasn't checking the top of the enclosure walls for extra components? 😐
@@JamieNotLamie Bruh you have used the platforms in earlier puzzles hahaha, it's also a tool that works exactly the same from TP1. Literally its only function is to support items so that they do NOT get thrown off, lol. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and just assume that both of you completely forgot about the platform tool xd
@@alenko4763 You missed the whole point of the story, didn't you? We're human. We aren't all the same, we don't all think the same and we make mistakes. But I'm pretty sure there are no other puzzles that do what is done here where you catch something on a fan. Like. C'mon guy. Have a good day "bruh". 💅 Always obvious when a minor comments. Adults could care less about belittling each other over something so trivial in a game no less. Get humble.
@@alenko4763nah, I get what you mean, but the game condition you, specially if you played the 1st one, to think about the platform as a tool to be used with two characters some how. I was there staring at the platform.... what the hack am I supposed to do with this crap... can't see any recording on this version and no clone to take over.... also talos 2 barely use the stacking mechanic. 1st version you use block stacking more, this one you use once or twice with blocks, then with that moving platform. This is the single problem in both talos 1 and 2, that has a stacking with platform where you don't have a second character. That is why people don't even try it. At the end of the day, going to always be limited thinking on the player for not trying stacking stuff from the fan, which we already have done.
I have to disagree with all the comments saying this is a bad puzzle. At this point of the story, the narrative is trying to teach us that humans should look towards a brighter future by dreaming and thinking of what is possible. The area itself is a giant space launch system, ready to explore the unknown. All the puzzles in this area asks you to do something that you haven't necessarily done before. Just because you haven't done it, doesn't mean it is by definition impossible. The puzzles ask you to get creative and not be constrained to things that we know to be true, but things that might be possible. When I got to this puzzle, I have never tried holding a platform and stepping onto a fan with a cube already on it. But just because I've never tried it, doesn't mean it is impossible to do. The puzzles here are a brilliant way of synthesising the gameplay element with the message, asking you to not become like the mayor who is trapped in a risk-averse, calculated world and write off anything we haven't tried before as stupid. That being said, the fact that you can trap yourself by putting the thing down in a wrong way is kinda poor.
Yeah you describe it perfectly. There are no new apparatus you just have to test what's possible with the mechanics thus far. I haven't done all the puzzles here yet but up to this point it's just connectors.
its not a new mechanic, its there since talos 1, but they condition you to only use platforms with two characters, but I do agree, seems like the devs had a checklist of combinations and at the very end they look at the list, oh god we are missing one, and just shoved it into the game. This is the only place in both game version where you stack with the platform without a second character. We already stacked with fans, so that should give the clue to try it, but I also completely got conditioned to think they required a second character.
okay so setting the thign down was buggy for you too. I set it down in there like 4 times but I kept either missing the far one or it'd block and mess up the close one and just not a good time lmao.
An extremely bad puzzle. It can be cheesed by jumping onto the wall from the high platform, and if you place the laser incorrectly at the end then you're completely trapped and have to reload a checkpoint to restart the whole thing with no indication that you were close to doing the correct thing. Also extremely unintuitive how when you put the platform down, the cube on top will fall onto/behind you, which makes it really easy for you to be standing in the way of the laser, which turns it off and traps you. Really dumb.
This puzzle was very badly designed. I had completed 137 puzzles before this one and in NONE of them had anything happened completely outside of my view (I play in 1st person), whether me seeing it directly or having memorized that it would happen even in my absence. As others pointed out, the flimsy behavior of interfering objects over fans completely discourages this approach.

Cheesed it by jumping to the middle partition. Kind of feel stupid for not thinking of the fan on/off thing to get the box on my head. Oh well.
Same. I don't think there was ever a previous puzzle using the platform with a fan to carry a box and connector like that though.
You've got to be kidding me...
he used he’s robodix
So easy to just jump onto the walls from where the red platform is and cheese into the solution room. Almost too easy, thought it was deliberate!
Same for me. I came here to check out what the actual solution was
I'm guessing you're on PC. I tried for a long time to jump on the wall on PS5. It's not possible.
@@garyhowe7087 Ah didn't think of that. You have to sprint and jump, is that not possible on console?

@@garyhowe7087 no on PS5 actually. I did it first try. Maybe they’ve patched it?
Yep, I NEVER would have figured this one out😒😅. TY!
The game really is falling apart at the end, isn't it?

Interesting the new uses they came up with for the platform. In the first game, it pretty much required the recorder to be useful.
Every other time I've stepped on a fan supporting something else the items get thrown off. What a frustrating puzzle.
I'm guessing the platform is what changes that dynamic but like, how were we supposed to know?!?

That little room at the end was the worst. Locked myself in there so many times.

No, the question is: why when platform is on the ground the cube slides from it, but when it's in the air, it stands still? Just dumb solution
This is a pretty poor puzzle, and it has such an easy improvement: put a ladder inside the little room so you can get out.
Oh, so that's the intended solution... XD
My thoughts :)
Thanks.
Introduced a brand new mechanic right at the end of the game. Bad game design!
