I don't think this pixel hunt method was the intended way to solve it, as I solved it a more traditional way. I did everything the same up until 27s, but then I placed the Activator on top of the box so that the connector that was being lifted by the fan/box could reach it. Then, I took the other connector, linked it to both the laser source, the connector on top of the box, and the activator and placed it right by the barrier. Then, I went over and stood on the button to lift the connector, which set off the activator to disable the barrier, and then the second laser now had a direct path to the activator, freeing up the connector on the fan/box. Then, I took that connector onto the Activator side and placed it in the far right corner, put the Activator on top of the box and in front of the fan, and the placed the connector that was on the other side back on top of the box. The connector that goes back on the fan/box now links to the connector on the other side that is in the far right corner, which is connected to the Activator on top of the box. Lastly, just stand on the red button to lift the connector and the same outcome happens as in this video
Okay, I think *this* is the worst puzzle in the game. Every single other puzzle that I've gotten stuck on I've looked up the solution and then thought "oh of COURSE that's the answer, duh" and I feel like I've still learned something about how the game wants me to think, but in this case I have absolutely no idea how I was supposed to figure that out
I took the activator from the Star puzzle and used it from the outside to activate the blue wall. Lol. I tried everything I could think of and was fed up after 2 hours.
you can also cheat this by using the 2 boxes on the ladder... place the boxes on the other side so you fall on the boxes (you can walk through the boxes by pressing the climb prompt), remember to place the activator where you can pick it up while on the boxes
My solution was easy, beacuse i have carried that activator sphere all along and stumbled upon this puzzle. I left it on outside near force field door with palm print. Used blue ray from inside to outside sphere, force field door webt down and i finished this quest. Outside of the box solution and using what ever game gave me.
Damn I had to look this one up as I was totally stumped. I was so close to getting it too as I did most of these things, I just couldn’t put two and two together 😭😭😭 I feel I cheated myself by looking up the solution :(
I agree. I solved it that way and then came here because I thought for sure I "cheated" by doing it that way, but it looks like it's the real way to solve it. go figure.
I think I found the correct soultion. You were supposed to put the field thingy on the second cube to reach the blue laser in the air for the second blue wall shut off.
i actually find the single pixel, still couldnt figure how i can suppose to make it work inside the cell while walls re blocking the beam. solution was using my body on pressure table...

Unintended solution aside, this was a fantastic puzzle. Took me a bit to see everything. Quite enjoyed it!

I solved it in a similar fashion by bugging it out (I like to call this "out-of-the-box thinking" but was very curious to see the REAL solution lmao
I did the ladder box thing but just walked along the ledge
I dont think its called a cheat. This whole game include TP1 is meant to be broken and thought out side of boxes
Yet another one I solved differently. I didn’t even notice you could remove the fan. 🤦♂️

Man I hate these puzzles that are "Find the single pixel you place the object."
I agree. I solved it that way and then came here because I thought for sure I "cheated" by doing it that way, but it looks like it's the real way to solve it. go figure.
Me too.

Iv solved every puzzle so far without looking it up. I was feeling really guilty before clicking the video. After the video i dont even blame myself.
i actually find the single pixel, still couldnt figure how i can suppose to make it work inside the cell while walls re blocking the beam. solution was using my body on pressure table...
There is a much more elegant solution as the others have stated.
i jumped on the outer wall, didn't use the fan. probably not the intended solution :)
Wow, this video made me angry. Not at you, I appreciate you, but jeez... this is the most unsatisfying solution in the entire game, IMO.
This video shows an alternate solution. The main solution requires you to use a box instead of pixel hunting.
