Here you’ll find hints for the Gold Puzzles with no outright solutions.
序章
This is a hint guide for the Gold Puzzles. There are no direct solutions offered here, for I wish to walk along the road with you, rather than walk it for you. I completed all of the puzzles myself without any guides, for what it’s worth, and the hints I wrote are all my own.
The layout is simple but I’ll explain it here in case there’s any confusion. Following the puzzle number and title, there’s a list of “Tools.” This shows all the tools that can be picked up and manipulated by hand. 後 “ツール,” the hints are in a numbered list. This is meant to give some assistance going through the level and so should be in order of the tasks to be performed. I tried to not give direct instructions, or when direct instruction is unavoidable, to not give the method directly.
東
東 1: ジャンプスタート
ツール: Connector, RGB Converter x2, Hexahedron, Fan
- Consider all different configurations of your RGB Coverters
- You have two RGB Connectors so you’ll have to get creative to get the right color light – only one should make green light…
- …and you’ll need that green light to go into the other RGB Converter to support the whole system
- To get the angle on the green receiver, you’ll need the Connector, but it’s necessary to “jump start” the system before using it for that purpose
- This one is a matter of tight angles
- The inner RGB Converter should be the one producing the green light
東 2: ロンリーハイツ
ツール: Driller, Fan, Hexahedron, Connector
- After gathering your tools, set the Hexahedron on the running Fan to get an idea how to solve this
- Ring-around-the-rosie until you get the door held open and all tools out
- The Connector need only make one final connection
- Set up the final connection then enable the fan
東 3: Non-Overlapping Magesteria
ツール: Connector, Inverter x2
- You need all three tools out so set up a system to maintain the the light needed without the tools wihtin
- The Inverter is a good tool which should change which light it’s producing as the steps proceed in this solution
- This one is pretty straightforward once you see what needs to be done
北
北 1: バンテージポイント
ツール: Connector, Hexahedron
- Two receivers, one Connector
- You’ve got to get a man on the inside before opening the blue door
- Remember 1k can hold a button as well as a box
- Pass the Hexahedron back when you don’t require it anymore
北 2: 身体化された認知
ツール: Connector, アキュムレータ
- You’ll have to take the Connector in, then take it out
- Now you have to deal with crossed connections; how can you get access to both light sources?
- You only need a moment to accumulate the light
- You’re standing in your own way
北 3: リレンジャー
ツール: Connector x2, Fan x2, Hexahedron x2, Inverter, Driller
- You don’t need to bother with the Driller in the early part of this puzzle
- Use the Driller from the inside once you have all your tools available
- Pass the key through the lock
南
南 1: アセンションの柱
ツール: テレポーター, Fan x2, Hexahedron
- You’ll need to take the tools to each successive platform
- The Hexahedron will block the light beams when on a button so to what other use can you put it?
- Remember that tools can stack on the Hexahedron
- The final fan is fixed and doesn’t need a Fan to plug into it
南 2: 箱の外
ツール: Gravshifter, Hexahedron, Inverter
- The Gravshifter can let you through the blue barriers, one then the other
- However the Gravshifter is not as useful on the one side so how can you bring it over?
- The Gravshifter can’t act on itself directly but there is an indirect way
南 3: 推力ベクトル
ツール: Connector x2
- Two Connectors, three connections needed, so at least one of these will have to pull double duty
- の “thrust” is the only way to influence the position of a Connector
- The lip bordering the movable platform lets you set it up so the platform moves back and forth but this isn’t the solution
- The blue receiver is the last one that needs to be enabled…
- …but you have to set it up before you move through the puzzle
- The first red receiver can’t be reached by the light except when a Connector is practically right on top of it
西
西 1: ミュール
ツール: テレポーター, Connector, Driller
- Use the Rail Drone in a way to gain access to the Driller
- The Teleporter plus Driller combo almost open up the whole level to you, but you need to get the Driller out
- Again the Rail Drone comes to the rescue; think about how the doors operate
- Leave the Connector next to the end goal, hooked up to be of use
- The Driller needs to hold open the blue light barrier
- Repeat the way you got in in the first place to finish the puzzle
西 2: 中空
ツール: Activator x2, RGB Converter, Connector
- You’ll need to chain your Activators to open things up a bit
- The green Activator is needed to set things up
- Ultimately the green Activator is left on the item exchange
- The red Activator needs to move up to the next room so the red beam source can hold open the door
- The green receivers will both be powered directly from the RGB Converter
西 3: ウィンドストリーム
ツール: Connector x2
- Since any connection activates the fan, you’ll need to be ‘inside’ before any are made
- The fan blows all tools, not just 1k
- Sometimes all you need is something to be in the way
- Set up the blue connection before heading past the fan
