The Talos Principle 2 is the successor to The Talos Principle. Some of the best puzzle games will have many different mechanics available to solve similar puzzles in different ways to create a sense of similarity. This is helpful for players to recollect past situations and use those previous puzzles as stepping stones to accomplish harder ones. The game features a robot-like entity utilizing these different elements to solve various puzzles.
Unlike the previous puzzles in the East 1 area, you will not have to worry about a fan turning this into a platform puzzle situation in order for you to solve Through The Door. This one will mostly involve shifting the placement of several useful items to allow a single laser to reach the first room.
Through The Door – Getting To The Jammer
When you start this puzzle, look to the left wall to see a red laser. To the right of this laser will be a blue barrier, and to the right of this barrier a green sun. You will also see several leaves scattered on the ground in front of the red laser. There is a Connector on these leaves — take it and turn around to face the wall opposite the red laser. You will see a blue barrier on this wall, and directly in front of this barrier will be a red button on the floor. Place the Connector on the button to open the barrier.
Walk through the barrier and turn left to see another open barrier. This barrier is open because of a Jammer, not because of the button you placed the RGB Converter on. You will see a purple barrier as you enter the next room. Unlike the blue barriers, purple barriers allow you to pass straight through them. After entering the room behind the purple barrier, you will have access to the Jammer.
Through The Door – Keeping Both Barriers Open
Pick up the Jammer, causing the blue barrier you came through to close. Aim the Jammer to the right to highlight the blue barrier opposite the wall of the purple barrier you passed through. Select the option to jam this barrier. You will see an RGB Converter on the other side of this barrier. Take this RGB Converter and bring it into the room you came from. Place it on the ground and head back to the Jammer. Now, use the jammer to jam the original barrier it was aimed at. Take the RGB Converter back to where the Connector is.
Move the Connector and place the RGB Converter in its place on top of the button. Take the Connector to the room with the 2 blue barriers and purple barriers. Aim the Connector at the blue laser in this room and select it, followed by aiming it at the blue sun next to the barrier you came through — select connect so that the barrier stays open even when the Jammer is not aimed at it. Go to the Jammer and aim it at the barrier that the RGB Converter is keeping open by being on the button. Jam this barrier and head back to the RGB Converter.
Through The Door – Using The RGB Converter
Pick up the RGB Converter and walk to the right side of the barrier so that it can highlight and select the Connector. Once you have selected the Connector with it, turn and select the red laser and the green sun. This will take the red laser and the blue laser and have the RGB Converter send a green laser into the green sun to lower the barrier next to it. Past this barrier will be the Progress Wheel to wrap up this puzzle.
