@SP:
Thanks a lot.:cozybethesda:
SP 6 Mar @ 2:29am 
Sorry. Meant to also say thanks for the work you've put in on the two 'advanced' campaigns. They are great fun as are all your puzzles.

@SP:
I tried to update the cover image.
Unfortunately, that didn't work.
I can't go any further at this point.
SP 5 Mar @ 11:42pm 
But you made the cross-puzzle jam an essential part of the puzzle so your recorded solution no longer works.

@DJL:
Thanks for this hints.

C3 - Jammer Quaratine:
You don't need an axe for this puzzle.
The recorder will be blocked if you don't solve this puzzle first.
Otherwise, your solution was correct.

C4 - Throne Room:
There is a lot to do here.
I'm glad you like the solution for the star.:cozybethesda:
DJL 31 Jan @ 10:47am 
Sorry to nitpick but...
Things in C4 I'm not sure about -
I found 2 possible solutions to "Throne Room":
One doesn't use the platform https://youtu.be/2Nvo16bDP9A
The other doesn't open blue gates https://youtu.be/5zbFPEtEcb4
I don't know if either of them is intented!

Additionally from Throne Room you can jam a blue field in stables . https://youtu.be/xwsJ4I481ek The order of events is more important than it looks here, for some reason it doesn't work in the wrong order

I think I got the Throne Room star in the intended way though and I enjoyed that solution, even though I'm not normally a fan of recorder puzzles :)
DJL 31 Jan @ 9:33am 
I found a bunch of things in C3 that I'm not sure how intentional they are but I think definitely some of it must have been unintentional since I was able to solve Jammer Quaratine (and indeed the entire world) without ever finding the axe, where is that btw?

@DJL:
Thanks again.:cozybethesda:
That is no longer possible.
DJL 29 Jan @ 9:16am 
@ma.hirsch - thanks, I'm glad I don't have to restore a backup :)
The blue barrier is permanantly off now?

fwiw - Having watched the solution video I now know that I got in to these 2 puzzles in an unintended way :
It is possible to get out of "Double Plate" without going through the purple barrier by standing on a box to get on the statue and then jumping out , thus you can use the recorder to get a 3rd connector in the central area - no height required.
ma.hirsch  [author] 29 Jan @ 7:23am 
@DJL:
Thanks for the hint.:cozybethesda:
Corrected.
DJL 28 Jan @ 1:13pm 
I'm stuck inside "redundant power supply" - the blue and purple barriers are too close together and I can't get out to reset!
ma.hirsch  [author] 17 Jan @ 10:48am 
@SoundingBites:
There is a switch near the fence.
You can use this to lower the fence.
Then you can also take the cube with you.
SoundingBites 17 Jan @ 4:47am 
I think there is an error in "windows into a labyrinth" When I have a cube on one side ot the second fence inside and another cube on the other side of that fence I am not able to pick up the cube on either side, so I have to restart to get out. I tried placing the cubes on different spots but it's the same problem. When I click 'pick up' I sink into the cube

This is fun but the hidden switches are lame. Not fun to spend ages trying to figure out a clever solution only to realize there was a hidden switch in some bushes that instantly solves the puzzle.
linuxlux 24 Aug, 2024 @ 1:07am 
Huh ill try to find it
ma.hirsch  [author] 23 Aug, 2024 @ 8:50pm 
@linuxlux:
That was a spontaneous idea of ​​mine.
The recorder will be blocked if the puzzle is not solved first.
There is also an alternative solution to this puzzle.
This solution is more difficult, but certainly interesting.:steamhappy:
linuxlux 23 Aug, 2024 @ 2:19am 
dont know if you will read this but in C3 in one of the levels the recorder just got blocked by planks, aint seeing this in your walkthrough
vtd 20 Jul, 2024 @ 11:51am 
Can you please make this mod compatible with the official Serious DLC sound pack?
ma.hirsch  [author] 27 Jun, 2024 @ 10:28pm 
@al_oxy:
Go back to the lobby.
Redeem all three seals that you found for the connector.
You will then have unlocked it.
After that, you can also solve the remaining two puzzles in level 3.
al_oxy 27 Jun, 2024 @ 10:59am 
Hi how can I do that ? Is there a switch somewhere ?
ma.hirsch  [author] 26 Jun, 2024 @ 9:09pm 
@al_oxy:
The connector must first be activated before it can be used.
al_oxy 26 Jun, 2024 @ 10:33am 
Hi I'm world A3 but connector are disabled , did I miss something ?

@ma.hirsch "You shouldn't be able to use the recorder anymore after you have the sigil."

I disagree, and I hated this. I cheesed this puzzle for fun because I could, by jumping on the grotesques next to the recorder. I thought it would do what all previous puzzles did when I tried to parkour in and the sigil would dematerialize and it would laugh at me. But nope. I got it, and then I wasn't allowed to solve it legit.

You might find this hard to believe, but some of us like to re-solve puzzles without having to reset them all, or like to try alternative ideas in them. It's bad enough that Croteam doesn't let us reset the puzzles as they do in Talos II (one of the few legit improvements of Talos II), but I had to look up the solution because you didn't allow me to solve it myself. Luckily the solution wasn't much different from what I did myself with the extra connector to get the star, but disabling the recorder in no way improved the puzzle.

Enjoyable mod. Thanks for putting it together.

@rock-p:
Yes. Then the only option is to end up as a messenger.
rock-p 20 May, 2024 @ 12:41pm 
When I collected all the stars and fit the Sigil in the basement of the tower, a movie came in and the gates of eternity closed, is this a specification?
rock-p 13 May, 2024 @ 5:03am 
If you enter the gate immediately after the eternal gate opens and see the ending, and then resume from the previous backup, the event of the gate opening does not occur.
Also, Elohim's voice (after “And_so_it_is_done!”) does not play when I return to the cathedral after collecting all the seals.

@AG:
Only the cloud and secret levels have changed.
AG 28 Apr, 2024 @ 11:42pm 
@ma.hirsch- did you change anything at the top of the tower? I notice no video solution, so wondered if the top is unchanged..
Rough N. Sluff 10 Apr, 2024 @ 10:42pm 
Thanks for a great mod.
exe 31 Mar, 2024 @ 6:37am 
I have gone back to a backup prior C3 and now solved C3 Jammer Quarantine first using the recorder successfully. Now I will solve the other puzzles again.
exe 31 Mar, 2024 @ 5:20am 
By viewing the change notes to use the recorder, Jammer Quarantine has to be solved first, otherwise the recorder is blocked so this is why because I have all other puzzles solved first.
exe 31 Mar, 2024 @ 4:18am 
I see now the blue forcefield is not replaced, it is still present but deactivated behind the wooden barrier.
exe 31 Mar, 2024 @ 3:53am 
In C3 Jammer Quarantine you have replaced the blue forcefield in front of the recorder by a wooden barrier which a jammer can not open and I have not found an axe there, in the video that forcefield was there and not the wooden barrier. How do I open the wooden barrier?
exe 31 Mar, 2024 @ 2:37am 
I have solved all puzzles in C1 and C2. Interesting and nice puzzles!
ma.hirsch  [author] 31 Mar, 2024 @ 2:03am 
@exe:
That's how it's meant to be.
You shouldn't be able to use the recorder anymore after you have the sigil.
exe 30 Mar, 2024 @ 1:21pm 
Once the puzzle in C1 The Conservatory is solved (by getting the sigil) the recorder doesn't work anymore, I had to reload an earlier save before solving the puzzle. I haven't tried this in the original game, because there was no need.
vtd 26 Mar, 2024 @ 1:17am 
Can you please fix this sso that the Serious DLC sound pack works during the walkthrough?
ma.hirsch  [author] 17 Mar, 2024 @ 11:16pm 
@exe:
For that i made the videos.
If you stuck somewhere, just watch the video.
exe 17 Mar, 2024 @ 2:30pm 
I didn't have any problem solving the other puzzles in A and B. I like the puzzles!
exe 17 Mar, 2024 @ 2:28pm 
In C1 The Conservatory, the gargoyle right above the first blue receiver from the entrance (the one closest to the recorder) is set half on top on the stone pillar (half to the left). I just don't how I can start this puzzle, I need a hint or I will watch your video...
ma.hirsch  [author] 14 Mar, 2024 @ 11:33pm 
@darkgreenblue:
Thanks for the hint.:cozybethesda:

A8 - Nerve Wrecker:
A small change has been made.
This means you can no longer avoid the intended solution.
darkgreenblue 14 Mar, 2024 @ 1:06pm 
Nerve Wrecker, it seems intended to flip the two switches for the first two turrets, then let the mine destroy the third one; but this is not necessary, because if the mine explodes the first turret, you can still proceed with just the two jammers.
ma.hirsch  [author] 11 Mar, 2024 @ 10:34pm 
@exe:
Well done. :steamthumbsup:
exe 11 Mar, 2024 @ 5:12pm 
I now got the star in the updated B2. :-)
exe 11 Mar, 2024 @ 4:17pm 
I see that I have the updated version, so I watch the "B2 updated" video.
ma.hirsch  [author] 10 Mar, 2024 @ 10:46pm 
@exe:
I'm glad you like it. :cozybethesda:

I made videos for every level.
When you're stuck somewhere,
just watch the video.
Then you know how it works.
exe 10 Mar, 2024 @ 3:55pm 
the place where these keys should be is empty
