Submachine Legacy Full Walkthrough Guide and Tips

This guide covers how to navigate through all the main game chapters 1-10, and the post-game content associated with them.

Introduction

The guide will follow the following format:

Playthrough
This subsection will guide you through the game, to collect items and navigate through areas.
To make things flow easier, most of the guide will be text-based. However, in some areas that are hard to visualize, screenshots will be used to aid the player.
If an area is to be labeled for easy navigation it will be in Italics.
If a note is to be taken for later it will be underlined, Note N: label.
Some areas need backtracking later and are spread wide. They will be labeled by underlining.
If an item is to be taken from an area, it will be bolded Item.
Some items that are commonly used, such as the Navigator, Connector Pod, Charged Coil, Karmic Water, Karma Stabilizer are referred to with shorthand names that are easy to understand and concise after being bolded once.

Secrets
This subsection will list all secrets if you only wish to complete your collection of secrets, and will follow a list format, and will use spoiler tags. The Playthrough section does not cover secrets to allow the readers to engage in the challenge themselves.

Post-game
This subsection will cover what we will do in this chapter in particular after completing all chapters, with spoiler tags.
The Navigator device will be necessary for post-game content for all chapters up to, but excluding The Exit, and optional tombs. The player must return to the menu and switch to Chapters 8 or 9 to navigate to another layer for Chapters 1-7. The locations are marked with layer information such as: ||o||||, corresponding to layer 3 on the Navigator device. In the guide, both layer text formats will be used to navigate the player.

Chapter 1 – The Basement

Chapter 2 – The Lighthouse

Playthrough

In the original gameplay, you’d end up noticing that you were dreaming about playing a game called Submachine (i.e. chapter 1), yet not wake up from that dream. You would then zoom out from the arcade machine to begin.

Chapter 3 – The Loop

Playthrough

The lighthouse was a trap! Now we are stuck in the most horrifying place in the subnet, the loop!
The Loop is formed of distinct puzzles with their own passwords (in the browser version, this was the means of saving progress).

Note: The coordinate system of the Loop ascends in X towards the right, and in Y downwards.
Note: Most solutions follow from the Board at (1,0). Take note of the dots. These are places where you typically need to be.

• Hatta: Just pick up the Loop Navigator to the left, and use the exit valve.
• Linkva: Follow the dots on the board to the valves. Click on all to enable the exit valve.
• Bamita: Follow the dots on the board to any of the valves. Clicking reveals the next valve coordinates. Follow through all to enable the exit valve. Failure in any will reset the puzzle.
• Kalka: Follow the dots on the board to varying panels. Each will have three numbers that can be modified. The remaining number is the correct value for the other panels. Between the panels some valves can be found. Modify all panels to be the same, then use these valves to enable the exit valve.
• Winda: Follow the dots on the board to numbered valves. You need to turn them in ascending order to enable the exit valve.
• Banda: Follow the dots on the board to circular panels. You need to enter the coordinates of the current panel location in alphabetical form (a=1,b=2,…) to enable the exit valve.
• Mjolka: Follow the dots on the board to find screens with numbered glyphs. Take note of all glyphs, and enter them at (-1,0).
• Slitta: The board is broken. Find a lever in (-1,-1), and a projector in (-1,0). Pull the lever to activate the projector. Take note of the diagonals. Move to (-2,1) and start entering these diagonals by pressing buttons. Move towards the right as you enter the code. Move to (0,-1) and turn the valve. The exit valve will then be enabled.
• Flinta: Follow the dots on the board. There are egg-shaped devices, and a controller in (0,1). Enter coordinates into the controller to unlock the eggs and pull the levers inside. The exit valve will then be enabled.
• Anielka: The board is broken. Find code boards on (0,1) and (0,-1). The Roman and Arabic numerals should match each other. When you’re done, press the button in (0,1) to enable the exit valve.
• Botwinka: The dots on the board don’t lead anywhere. Copy its contents to the other board in (-1,0). The exit valve will then be enabled.
• Mimbla: There will be a note on the wall. You can choose to solve the puzzle, or find the Leaf in (-1,-1), and follow the instructions. If you want to solve the puzzle, read the inscription at (-1,0), and the screens in (0,1),(0,-1). Compare and match the numbers with the letters (RYW on (-1,-1), BPG in (1,-1)). Turn the valves in (1,1) and (-1,1) after solving the puzzle. The exit valve will then be enabled. The loop will throw you back to this section if you choose to solve it.

Secrets

There are no secrets in The Loop.

Post-game

Monolith III |o||||| (Layer 2): Mimbla: Solve the puzzle instead of using the leaf. Instead of looping back, move around this zone, refusing to use the exit valve. It is a spatial anomaly, so you will need to randomly move around. You will eventually find the Karma Portal.

Post-game

• Monolith VIII – ||||||o (Layer 2) : Horizontal Floors: You are in the ending zone when you begin. There is a teleporter to the left enabled only in Layer 2, leading to the Thoth secret area. From there, navigate to the rest of the game, starting from… The Cliffs. You will see a Karma Portal below the Thoth inscription. It will take you to the next Monolith area.
• Monolith IX – |o||||| (Layer 2) : The Cliffs: After navigating to the Thoth inscription, you need to unlock the secret area by disabling Protocol 54-5. Get to the rusty teleporter that is located at the very beginning of this zone. If Protocol 54-1 is enabled, you will be able to open up the secret area. If it is disabled, go back to Vertical Floors to disable it. To get to the secret area, you need to go near the elevator to the Vertical Floors section, press the button again to let it go up. Then move across to the other side and down to the secret area. You can use your tokens here. The Karma Portal will lead you to the Monolith.

Post-game

The slot is near the top of the ship (the area to the left where you were asked to insert an ID card). In The Cliffs (100), this location is in the hatch, near the switch to the SHIVA emergency evacuation protocol. Go right, and enter the door S3C. Insert tokens along the way, and enter the KP. The Monolith is nearby.
• Monolith XIV : Infernal Basement (000): Another Blink is in this area. It’s in the machine with the hoops. Stabilize it to reveal a KP. Enter, and use Stone Cubes wherever they are needed. Go through the new KP to find the Monolith.
