The Talos Principle 2 has plenty of puzzles to test the caliber of your problem-solving skills. The esthetics of the game will change as you progress through it, from the Egyptian-like feel of the tutorial to some breathtaking mountain views later on in the game.
Once you have completed the first group of puzzles, you’ll make your way over to the Quantum Tunneling puzzle in the Wooded Plateau. This area introduces you to some new surroundings and some new mechanics. Changing environments is a common thing in puzzle games to keep the game world feeling fresh and interesting. There is still a very long road ahead of you, so don’t burn through your Prometheus Sparks so early into the game.
Quantum Tunneling – Getting Both Drillers
Start by looking at the entrance of the Puzzle. You will see the Prometheus Terminal. Turn left and you will see a purple barrier. Walk through this barrier and pick up the Driller. Turn to face the purple barrier, and you will see the option to “Create Hole” when you aim the Driller at the wall on the other side. This is a special kind of wall that Drillers can make holes through and has a unique look compared to other surfaces. Make a hole with this Driller on this special wall.
Go over to the other side of the special wall with the hole you made to find another Driller passed another purple barrier. Take this Driller and put it through the hole you made with the first Driller. Use this second Driller to make a hole on the special wall next to the first Driller you used. Place the first Driller through the hole that the second driller is making and take it over to the second Driller.
Quantum Tunneling – Opening The Progress Wheel Room
Use the first Drillers to make a hole in the special wall opposite the entrance to the start of the puzzle — there will be a purple barrier to the right of this special wall. Place the second Driller through this hole, and then take the first Driller to remove the hole. Place the first Driller down next to this wall without a hole being formed.
Now, go through the purple barrier on the right, and use the second Driller to make a hole in the special wall that you passed it through. Take the first Driller you left behind to the same side as the second Driller. This room will have two buttons in it. Place a Driller on each button and the barrier to the Progress Wheel will open.
