Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the map. Your support means a lot! :)

Elohim's Creation is one of the best community maps I've played so far. The puzzles are tight and expertly crafted. The narrative does a great job capturing Elohim's voice. One of my favorite parts is how many things there are to discover -- there's no shortage of easter eggs, I'm still finding out new things. Highly recommend giving this map a shot!

You don't necessarily need to unlock the fans to start solving this puzzle. The part of the puzzle containing the yellow sigil can be solved using the connectors.

Well… I’m stuck. I need the last yellow sigil to obtain the fan. I can see it is located in a small section of the exhibit puzzle, behind an iron fence … but how to get in there?

Нашёл почти все пасхалки и прошёл на секретную "звёздную" концовку. Немного считерил со звездой с 5 переключателями: последний переключатель не мог найти (оказывается, он был на отдельном острове), но смог открыть решётчатую дверь через рычаг за замком. Последняя звезда была на островке с невидимым мостом – "ищи путь, который не виден твоему взору" стоило бы разместить поближе, как по мне. Мод впечатлил настолько, что решил оставить комментарий.

Автору лайк и порция респекта.

@ub1
You're trying to find a third sigil to unlock the connectors, right?
In that case, have you looked inside the other puzzles? For example, inside “Exhibit”
ub1 4 Dec, 2024 @ 2:07am 
Hi, I've just start playing the map but I just can't seem to find the third puzzle to free the connector possibility. I know it's stupid but can someone help me?

Интересно. а я "забытый сад" прошел чутка иначе. Просто решил глянуть, оказалось есть путь проще.

@Magistr-dragon
Спасибо!
Могу дать один совет: не забывай сканировать QR-коды .
Если понадобяися подсказки, то в описании карты есть ссылка на прохождение.
Magistr-dragon 5 Nov, 2024 @ 8:36am 
Отличная карта. Основную часть прошел. Собрал одну звезду. Порой пришлось думать нестандартно. с остальными звездами может придумаю как достать. Но вот как активировать последний рычаг в головоломке "экспонат" я уже не знаю.

@Ranamo Boy
Thank you. I know of similar ways to cheese, but I don't think there's any point in trying to fix things like that. There is many other ways to cheese using engine bugs. Using glitches and other talos bugs is left up to the player's conscience.
Ranamo Boy 29 Sep, 2024 @ 11:07pm 
I found one cheese.
The second puzzle of the gray sigil, on the back side of the ladder before the goal, I put a box here and kept pressing jump on it then I could get inside by force.

Thank you!
I was trying to stick to the TTP style, so I'm glad you noticed that. I really like the music from TTP 2, so I decided to use it on this map. As for the new color of the connectors - this idea is not new, however I came up with it myself.

About the axe, there is one small hint: if you look at the roofs of the houses, you can notice a small wooden platform. You can also see fences on the castle walls, which hint that it is possible to get there.
I had to disable the Tab-menu though, as it could break the ending and I haven't found a way to fix it.

There may still be other ways to solve some of the puzzles, though I tried to keep things to the intended solutions. You can watch a walkthrough of the puzzles if you want to see the intended solution: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYdNNfTL5iQZQN4f0J7PpNHxrJqPk3se0 .

Thanks for playing! :)

Hi,
I just finished your map and I loved it! I felt like I was playing an official map. I felt connected to the game and to the map the same way I felt for TTP. The musics are great, the new connector color is an amazing idea, same with interconnected puzzles or the switches.
The only two things that could have been improved according to me is that it would have been nice to have a clue for the axe, I didn't know where to search so I spent several hours on that. The other point would be that it would have been nice to be able to access the audios and the documents through the "shift menu".
You put the brige, some audios, qrcodes with double meanings, overlays, stars, etc... Impressive!
Although, I felt I solved some puzzles in unexpected ways, but that the charm of TTP, right?


If you're still up for adding QR codes to the spawn area:

Believe in your guts! I've never thought I would achieve this but faith and hope helped me find the way.

Ohh, I gotcha. I don't know how that managed to fly right over my head. I managed to get through the two grey sigils and get the final star. I just have to unlock the last terminal.

No, it was just meant to suggest that the clue was related to this puzzle. The clue lists the items that are needed to solve it . So you don't need to find second fan, one is enough .
SupremeCommanderThor 17 Sep, 2024 @ 5:58pm 
@360 + 280 + 360
Yes, I scanned it and I know it's the gargoyle that is inside the black and white puzzle, I just don't see how that is helpful. I've tried to place items in the spot it fell from, but other than that, I don't know.
360 + 280 + 360  [author] 17 Sep, 2024 @ 4:55pm 
@CTACSH1618
Did you try to scan the QRs ? It should give you enough clues.
For the black & white puzzle you need to scan the QR behind the tower on the hill .
SupremeCommanderThor 17 Sep, 2024 @ 4:12pm 
@360 + 280 + 360
I read as many as I've found, including two korok seeds lol. The grey sigils seem to require two fans. There is only one other fan that I know of, but I don't think I can steal it, so I'm stuck at this point. I have scoured the area and can't find anything that needs a green laser either, unless one of the black and white lasers is green...

On another note, if you like those Myst type games, you should check out a game called Outer WIlds. It's one of my favorites.
360 + 280 + 360  [author] 17 Sep, 2024 @ 12:08pm 
@CTACSH1618
Thank you! I've played Myst as well, I may have picked up something from there.

Items inside the castle can't be stolen. All puzzles outside the castle can be solved with items outside the castle. Try to find ways to get more items.

Don't forget to read the QR-codes, as they contain important hints .
You'll find a way to use the axe as you go along.
SupremeCommanderThor 17 Sep, 2024 @ 11:19am 
@1000
The map is great, it has some elements that remind me of the Myst games, which are among my favorite games. I made it through to get one ending, but am trying to get the grey sigils and final star, which is where things become a bit tedious in my opinion. I need to bring more items over, like a second fan, so I figured I would take the fan and a box from the castle. I made my way up to the perimeter wall, but every time I would jump on the the edge so I could drop them off the side, the game would force me to drop the objects first. I also have to ask, what is the axe for? lol

I definitely should have been able to figure that one out haha. I haven't played Talos in a while, so my brain hasn't fully switched over to that style of thinking yet.

You need to use jammer from "The Temple of the Sun" puzzle
SupremeCommanderThor 13 Sep, 2024 @ 11:30am 
@360 + 280 + 360
How the hell do you get the one sigil from behind the mine? I don't have access to any other tools that I'm aware of.

@CTACSH1618
What exactly are you having trouble with?
SupremeCommanderThor 11 Sep, 2024 @ 9:57pm 
I do two puzzles and then I'm completely stuck. The walkthrough doesn't help at all because it's only for the puzzles themselves.
Rough N. Sluff 23 Jul, 2024 @ 12:32pm 
Yes, first jammer from FG and then second from Exhibit. After putting 3 boxes in the far left corner of FG I was able to build a staircase and get on an exterior wall
360 + 280 + 360  [author] 22 Jul, 2024 @ 5:59pm 
@Rough N. Sluff
Very interesting... I think I know how you did it.
First you stole the jammer from FG (placing it on the box and then taking it being on the roof), then you used it to replace the jammer in Exhibit from outside and get it out.
How right am I?
360 + 280 + 360  [author] 21 Jul, 2024 @ 11:51am 
@lapicidas
Yep, I didn't pay attention at the first time, thanks
lapicidas 21 Jul, 2024 @ 10:25am 
@360 + 280 + 360...
If you watch my video of "Exhibit", pay attention to the beginning. You can also achieve the whole thing with just two cubes.
360 + 280 + 360  [author] 21 Jul, 2024 @ 10:17am 
@lapicidas
Thanks for the video! Watched them, it was awesome.
I think the only problem is the third cube you managed to steal from the FG. Without it, it should be impossible to steal anything from Exhibit (at least I hope so).

About the QR code behind the tower and some others: don't forget that you can scan the QR codes .
lapicidas 21 Jul, 2024 @ 1:01am 
@360 + 280 + 360....
Well, of course I read the QR-Codes when I was snooping around the island, but I didn't see any reference to the "black and white" puzzle on the one behind the tower .
As you read the codes as you pass by and later no longer know what you have read, this is a very very high level ;-) :steamfacepalm:
Getting the first cobe is relatively clear, you've made that very obvious.
It is retrieved from "Intervention": https://youtu.be/3UCjdJEkLow
The next items can be picked up in "Forgotten Garden"
Here it's a bit tricky to get to the third cube: https://youtu.be/wtZ1JjcvY8w .
More is probably possible here ;-)
I snapped the rest in "Exhibit" .
Very valuable is of course the Jammer: https://youtu.be/xygjXKBMIdg
:steamhappy::steammocking::steamhappy:
But I don't think you have to change anything, the map is good the way it is! :steamthumbsup:
360 + 280 + 360  [author] 20 Jul, 2024 @ 11:18am 
@lapicidas
Oh my god bruh xD How did you even steal so many items?
Actually it was intedned to steal only 4 items ( you can see which by reading QR behind the tower on the hill )
I'd appreciate it if you could make a video
lapicidas 20 Jul, 2024 @ 11:02am 
The map is very good. :steamthumbsup:I like the fact that you have to proceed chronologically at the beginning to unlock the individual items. Yes, there are times when you fall into a trap, but that doesn't detract from the fun of the game. Some of the puzzles are really tricky. :steamsalty:
I haven't played it all the way through yet, at the moment I'm stuck on the "black and white" puzzle. Really tough :salvador:
Since you have to bring in some items from outside, I've been trying out what you can get from each chamber . So far I have this: screenshot
Let's see if it's enough for the solution :steammocking:
LynchtheFinch 19 Jul, 2024 @ 1:19pm 
probably a combination of my unintelligence and croteam being silly billies. the hexahedron and bomb clip into eachother behind the laser wall if you place down the jammer at a bad time. then its impossible to get the hexahedron back bcs you cant open the wall & jam the bomb at the same time at a certain point in the puzzle. you can also softlock on the right side of the puzzle (the one with the buzzer) because stepping over the fences with the hexahedrons is a one way thing and you cant retread.
