Glacial Galaxy - stuck on laser grid puzzle in demo

[SAmaryllis]

Hi y'all! I couldn't figure out how to get past the puzzle with the big room with the laser grid and giant statue in the middle, where there are several floating snowflakes to shoot to raise/lower areas within the grid. Anyone have any key hints on how to get past that?

I'm curious to know the answer too. That's the puzzle where my motion sickness went from faint and in the background to overwhelming, probably because I was spending so much time running back and forth and looking in odd directions. I did see there's a difference in the lasers depending on whether the ground is raised or lowered, but I couldn't find any path to get to a place where it matters.

When you lower it, drop down to the lowered part and you will be able to move to an area you couldn't get to. Raise the grid and you will be able to move to a different area, where you lower it again, etc. It winds up being fairly linear. Keep an eye out for chests.

I only saw there was a single laser that got turned off when the ground was lowered - but it was pretty far in the back and I couldn't utilize it, either! I also tried using the little snowmounds as skate ramps, that didn't help either lol

Whoa Belmondo is that so! Is the treasure chest path a dead end (that was naturally where I went to when I lowered the platforms), or is the next step also from that square?

[Belmondo]

Hmm, I don't remember it exactly. When you are in the lowered part, you will see that you can go under a stone section, where (most of) the laser beams are. Also, you may need to move to the side of the lowered part that you are in so that you can shot over the edge and hit one of the switches.

Nice, thank you for the tip! I was able to finish the area :D For anyone else stuck - the first treasure you see is indeed a dead end. You'll need to walk back towards the entrance, lower the platforms, then walk to the very first laser square right in front of the entrance, and raise it again. Like Belmondo said, it's pretty straightforward from there!

I wish I could figure out what either of you mean, because I'm stuck here, too.

Oh! If a visual guide is easier, I did record my playthrough - puzzle is time-stamped https://youtu.be/WQ21BfC_uAo?si=wrCHnasuE0SQhRF7
