Note: Both videos in the playlist were created using ma.hirsch's less gloomy bright sunshine lighting modification. If you wish to play this puzzle with this change download the gro file using the link below, Unsubscribe from "In Labyrinth" then copy the downloaded gro fiile into the:
.../steam/steamapps/common/The Talos Principle/Content/Talos folder. Then you will be playing in the bright sunshine instead of cloudy dreary weather. Enjoy:

barrymead Hahah just watched solution video.What was really funny.I can say ma.hirsch have much more experience in this game when i have and my friends,so ofcourse some stuff he made never ever was obvious to us.I was aware what you can take connectors from area to others.But for some reason,none of us was thinking about taking jammer from where(i think bcos of my guidence)Ofcourse map have system so u cant complete map without activating checkpoints,but still i was shocked.Because you dont need this connectors to solve puzzle i decided to block this.I hope this will be not to much for you people.
Understand - we just a humans,so be kind,dont kill me pls :]\
WhatZap  [author] 29 Jun, 2020 @ 9:52pm 
barrymead Yes indeed it was a bug,my mistake!
Now fixed.Thanks guys!
barrymead 29 Jun, 2020 @ 8:26pm 
WhatZap: After the recent update, the finale area got much harder. Once you light the blue and red receivers in the hallway holding the 3rd connector, you must light both blue receivers and one red one to keep the blue light source from being blocked off by a barrier. Since these beams must be maintained to prevent the finale area from catastrophic blue light source blocking, that leaves very few options for moving the connectors around. Are you positive that you have a viable solution to this puzzle since this update? Could you possibly take a screen shot of this layout for the rest of us since you don't have the capability of making a video? (set up the layout, then turn on cheat codes and fly mode and take a screen shot from a high altitude, like kbogue01 has done.) PLEASE?
barrymead 28 Jun, 2020 @ 2:21pm 
Thanks to kbogue01 for posting this solution photo of how to light the blue receiver near checkpoint 3. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ctPAPoXxXnh4Qwer0799oz1oWzUwbAuu/view?usp=sharing
WhatZap  [author] 26 Jun, 2020 @ 1:59pm 
Glad yu like it! Thanks for this kind words it mean alot ot me.
But i dont undestand you point about skyboxes.Do u mean skybox itself is bad or do u mean what weather change is bad?
ma.hirsch 25 Jun, 2020 @ 10:11pm 
Done!
All in all, very sophisticated, excellent puzzles!

Just one more request:
Replace this gruesome skybox with this appalling light and dark change
by a friendlier! This not only damages the eyes of the player,
but really drives him crazy !!!
Incidentally, I have already done this for myself long ago, otherwise I would have this
Super puzzles never solved!
WhatZap  [author] 23 Jun, 2020 @ 3:44pm 
Well all of this can be easy avoided if i delete old map from package, but then people will lost their saves,which is not good.I test a lot,before and after upload,to be sure what all works.Jjust started working with engine so i dont know it well enough.Atleast you informed me about this! On next project i will be more caution,and do some things differently to avoid such stuff.Thanks!
If you find over bugs - dont forget to tell me :D
WhatZap  [author] 23 Jun, 2020 @ 3:29pm 
Well in normal mode it should.These things active only in challenge mode.So all works fine.
Tested a bit now,even started new game several times - all works.Very strange stuff,maybe some save bug.
ma.hirsch 23 Jun, 2020 @ 3:29pm 
Such mistakes happen.
Test the pre-packed gro file, so I always do it before I upload anything.
ma.hirsch 23 Jun, 2020 @ 3:20pm 
The map showed all additional plasma doors without plates and receivers as shown in the challenge.
ma.hirsch 23 Jun, 2020 @ 3:15pm 
Yes, i started a new game after update.
WhatZap  [author] 23 Jun, 2020 @ 1:44pm 
ma.hirsch I tested it several times and on my end all works.
You started new game AFTER update? Or you continue from last save?
Strange stuff indeed.I w8 other ppl reports if similiar thing will happen.This bugs sometimes hard to catch you know ;)
ma.hirsch 23 Jun, 2020 @ 1:04pm 
Are you sure? I've been doing this for at least 3 years now!
If something is lazy, I notice it. You should know one thing:
I am also a developer.
By the way, I always started a new game and always got to the final!
Then this strange mistake!
So please have a look, there could be something wrong.
It works for me!
WhatZap  [author] 23 Jun, 2020 @ 12:41pm 
Interesting,but i think this is bcos of you using old saves.
I left old version of this map in package(48) just in case.But for new people it should be fine.
This is strange cos i was sure u can play normallywith old saves(from old map version),but i suppose something went wrong.Thanks for feedback!
ma.hirsch 23 Jun, 2020 @ 11:06am 
@WhatZap:
Of course I couldn't leave your map a bit closer
to take a close look. This mistake was a little too mysterious.
I noticed that the In_Labyrinth.nfo was an error
contains. You only need to change part v049 to v048.
Everything is working again as usual.
The challenge also starts afterwards.
I wonder if I can do it too.
ma.hirsch 23 Jun, 2020 @ 6:37am 
Has anyone ever made it to the final?
I haven't since the last update!
If so, please send a photo.
WhatZap  [author] 12 Jun, 2020 @ 1:35pm 
barrymead well the problem is what my laptop is not good for this.Yes i can play the game,but cant record it.I really dont know who you talked to, but this puzzle is not that hard,really.It is just what for some people time machine stuff is hard to understand.I think,this puzzle will be more enjoyable for people who loves time machines,like i do.
Well guess you need to w8 when someone will record video on this map,or try solving by youself.
WhatZap  [author] 12 Jun, 2020 @ 4:43am 
VelikijKukuruzo Это скрины из нового режима что я добавил в обновлении.В нем все пазлы усложнены.Поэтому у тебя они и выглядят по другому.Чтобы в него сыграть карту пройти надо)
GreatCornholeo 11 Jun, 2020 @ 11:22am 
WhatZap, спасибо за совет)), но смущает 2-ой скриншот. На правой стене у меня нет синей кнопки
WhatZap  [author] 11 Jun, 2020 @ 4:38am 
Ok updated old map,now you probably dont need to start again.(Sorry for this :DD)
WhatZap  [author] 11 Jun, 2020 @ 4:20am 
After 2 weekes of testing and coding i finaly made it!
To people who already complete map you need to start new game and complete map again to access new mode(sorry for this)
I added few screnshot to show you the diffence in some places
If someone will try it - let me know! I want to hear you opitions on this one as always!
Hope you having good time guys!
WhatZap  [author] 11 Jun, 2020 @ 2:57am 
Thanks man! Glad u make it trough.Yea found some not intendent cheeses in past 2 weeks.
I will release big patch today to fix them and also add new content to this map.So if you interested stay tuned!
Mikibenjoj 10 Jun, 2020 @ 10:49pm 
Good Map! Took me a week on and off the game to complete it but was frustratiing and enjoyable experience and btw i dont know if you missed out on it or it was intentional but i think that that part where you need to go to the teleporter is easily cheesable and it made that part much easier than it looked like. But still its a good map.
WhatZap  [author] 10 Jun, 2020 @ 2:18pm 
VelikijKukuruz Там в следующей комнате,за забором стоит столб и на нем коннектор,может помочь в решении пазла)
Если где то что то не соединяется,как правило, это из за того что позиция не правильная.По идеи ты уже должен был знать это раз дошел до этого момента,но на всякий случай скажу)
GreatCornholeo 10 Jun, 2020 @ 6:43am 
WhatZap, пощади нас, дай подсказку! Я застрял на этапе копирования лучей. У меня есть 3 коннектора внутри уровня, а по другую сторону 1 деактиватор и 2 коннектора. Я нашел щель между стенами, но это полезно только для красного луча, а синий в любых случаях пересекается с красным лучом.
WhatZap  [author] 9 Jun, 2020 @ 4:23pm 
al_oxy Glad you like it,i work hard on this ^_^
How long did it take for you to complete?)
WhatZap  [author] 9 Jun, 2020 @ 4:21pm 
barrymead sorry to hear that :( Of course frustration not was my intent.This puzzle pretty simplier than u think.Its tricky yes,but not in unfair level.You dont need pin point accuracy or some wacky speedrun trick to complete it.Yes it have 1 place what can be in some level not fair,but it have some other solutions, so u still can solved puzzle another way.
This puzzle cant be solved by simply copying items.
al_oxy 8 Jun, 2020 @ 8:47am 
Very nice map ! really enjoy it! Thx
WhatZap  [author] 6 Jun, 2020 @ 8:35am 
Спасибо на добром слове! Рад что понравилось!
Сколько по времени, примерно, заняло прохождение,если не секрет?)
rpccprrpc 5 Jun, 2020 @ 11:01pm 
Это потрясающе!!!Я только что закончил проходить и дошел до конца,очень сложно!!Мне очень понравилось!!
WhatZap  [author] 5 Jun, 2020 @ 2:30pm 
As Elohim would say:"You dont need to solve all puzzle at once child.Come back later and path
may be revealed to you" :D
Where is plenty of maps in workshop to choose,try them when come back later and i sure you will
succeed.Be patient.
GreatCornholeo 5 Jun, 2020 @ 8:14am 
Will there be video on this map? I can not pass the map, but really want :steamsad:
WhatZap  [author] 23 May, 2020 @ 12:23pm 
Glad to hear that.
Thanks for playing and sharing you experience.I hope u having a good time ;)
Swissorion 22 May, 2020 @ 11:28pm 
Dear WhatZap really nice level design. its middle to hard. surely but slowly I find my way with lots of recorder sessions. Basic Idea to solve is in my mind, but needs proper alignment of connectors and recorder sessions in the right order. Yes its a tough puzzle. well done!
Swissorion 22 May, 2020 @ 1:53pm 
Dear WhatZap
Thanks for hints. package for labyrinth was enabled, Workshop content showed labyrinth as subscribed and available still no success even unsubscribe other maps.
What finally helped. unsubscribed all custom maps. restarted Steam and Talos. uploaded another legacy version not recognized my user. changed back to legacy pre2017 and started regular version of Talos waited until it told me is should start with moddable version. quited Talos again and subscribed only to labyrinth. restarted steam and Talos. started regular non modable talos and boom Labyrinth all of a sudden showed up in the play list and it worked to start. I had to change for and back several times until it labyrith shwed up. Tried to subscribe in addition to Rebirth and started, but no luck. Fortunately Labyrinth is still working and thats the important thing for the moment . thanks again for your hints. not going to play your map. first glimps looks great. I'm afraid it will give me some headache
WhatZap  [author] 21 May, 2020 @ 10:49pm 
Well i test it out and works fine for me.
But for some reason when i re-download package - it was disabled!
So try to go EXTRAS>WORKSHOP PACKAGES and check what map is enabled!
If it did not work try this -
In Steam, hover over your large username and click "Content." Then click the "Workshop Items" tab. Then on the sidebar, you''l want to show all maps you're subcribed to. If you click on an item and it says that it does not exist, then you should unsubscribe from it.
If it also didnt not work check what u have internet connection then u playing and u must run moddable version of talos! If all is ok,but map dont show up - try to unsubscribe from map in steam,then go to talos,wait for talos to update packages,and then install it again.Also try to disable others mods,some mods can be a reason!
Tell me after did it worked or not.
If someone have same problem let me knew!
Swissorion 21 May, 2020 @ 3:05pm 
just2buttons also for legacy vers. only, is running smoothly, where is the difference ? I'm very eager to play your new version, as image you posted is looking very promissing. Any chance to put the .gro file somewhere on the net to download ? thank you very much
Swissorion 21 May, 2020 @ 2:56pm 
unfortunately its not running, although I have installed legacy. It says downloaded, but there is no .gro file in talos contents.. Any idea how to properly load. How is the .gro file named ?
WhatZap  [author] 21 May, 2020 @ 2:18pm 
Very good to hear what u think i improving.Thanks for feedback ;)
DarK_SaCoR 21 May, 2020 @ 2:07pm 
I beat it in about 2-3 hours. As I said before, I prefer small puzzles with progressive difficulty.
In my opinion I think you can make them with a little more difficult.
Comparing it to your first level, I see that you have improved a lot.
WhatZap  [author] 21 May, 2020 @ 1:15pm 
Greetings and thank you,glad u like it!
How long it taken for u to beat? Did u think i should make puzzle a little harder next time?
Thanks for feedback, really aprreciate it!
DarK_SaCoR 21 May, 2020 @ 12:56pm 
Thank you for create new content!

I'm not a fan of unique puzzles but this I liked it.
Difficult: Medium-Hard.
And I have not seen any unfair puzzle.

I'll be watching for new content. Greetings!
