How to do Beam puzzle without looking it up??

[The Binary Son]

So, aside from either spending an eternity moving the beams to try and match the star and the other shape that doesn't even have a clue, is there a way I'm supposed to solve this puzzle without looking it up? It seems like I have to cheat to get it, which sucks.

I did that one without a guide, easier than the mixing alchemy one in Eurac V.

Basically, make them go opposite side every times, it's gonna work eventually.

Are you talking about the beams that you ahve to draw the star shape or like the square on the ground?

For first puzzle - there is an drawing on floor (one that hidden behind awareness check), just copy it.

For second puzzle - nothing but trial & experiments. That's why it's rewarding you with achievement, lol.

I'm talking about the beam puzzle in the Unidentified Ruins. The star pattern puzzle has a clue, but after looking it up with the other clue for a pattern doesn't work, I see there's a second puzzle pattern of two triangles. But how am I supposed to know to do that without looking it up online? I feel bad that I had to cheat to get it, so I want to learn what I was supposed to think to do otherwise.

Wow, there's a second puzzle, man, I miss that one entirely.

Yes. You need to find a xenos safe in that location and put in into door maw after you'd received Ancient Force Sword. That will unlock second puzzle (and you will have small fight with daemons after completing it).

Oh man, I miss that entirely, how do I even know that LOL? I just hope I haven't sold that crate yet (can be added into cargo).

???

By clicking all action icons around the map before leaving the location (through you need high Awareness to find the safe)?

There should be some kind of hints in text IMO, but anyway, I will go back to the place.

Your character mention something in text when you're placing safe in door. And action icon remaining on door after looting first reward is pretty suspicious ;)

Thanks for the thread, OP, I manage to reload my save and manage to solve the 2nd puzzle and item.
And holy hell, it is an awesome item for Cassia, makes her even STRONGER.
