Unreachable Garden is impossible
This is the last puzzle before I ascend the tower and it difficult as hell. Give me a hint. I managed to get a box, but what next?

Hmm, for me that level was rather easy, comparing to some others with evil mines.
After you get a cube - forget that section and come back to the first transmitter and the recorder. Now, using the cube and the platform, put the connector on the back wall to power the star lock

prison break was much harder imo

Hint: the garden really is unreachable. You only need to use the recording software and what you have in the first room.

Thanks. Solved. I tried to get connector as high as possible in second room but all is much easier.

Garden is not unreachable.

How to get there:
1) Place the connector in the corner where you connect it to the first blue emitter, then do a recording of it being there.

2) As you stop the recording and play it back, take the connector and connect it to the previously recorded connector, but also to the emitter through the first gate, to the gate itself and to the second gate on your right side.

Now you have a connector that could be connected further trough the second gate.


3) Record for a while, then stop recording and pick up the connector. Run through the second gate, and stand in front of the gate to the garden: Connect the connector to the previously recorded one + to the inside of the second gate + to the opening of the garden-gate + the emitter inside the garden.

Now you can get the box, but... you don't need it lol


How the box is not needed:

1) Perform step 1) and 2) from above.

2) Now record yourself as you pick up the platform and stand below the arch on the back wall -- first chamber.

3) Still recording, you walk over to the connector (that should be powering the first and second gate) with the platform above your head , this is to allow yourself to pick up the connector later.

4) Now walk back to the back wall with the arch, and the platform still above your head. Remember to wait a good amount of time to extend the recording enough

5) Stop the recording, and run through the second gate, to the back, climb the ladder and jump on your recorded platform. You will now be carried over to the connector. Pick it up.

6) As your recording brings you back to the arch-wall, jump up and connect your connector to the recorded one and to the gate where the sigil lies.

7) Get the sigil and run out of there before the recording is finished.

Don't know what the box is for.

Garden was actually easy
Regarding Prison Break, it wasnt easy just takes a bit of time to figure out.

Haha, I actually thought the opposite. That was the easy one :steamhappy:
This is how I did it because I could not figure it out (don't do it this way kids):

1. Using the double, place a laser next to the beam in the path, linking them
2. Using the original, use the laser to link to beam, the 2 doorways, and the double's laser
3. Using the double, pick up the platform and stand under the opposite side of the ladder. Then walk to the small maze
4. Using the original, get on the platform of the double and wait for the double to approach the maze. Jump off the platform on top of the maze.
5. Using leet platforming skills, jump on the outer ledge, jump in the U-shaped window, then on top of the tower adjacent the puzzle piece and into the puzzle piece room.
6. Kill yourself Do a reset because there is no way out

Really? I think I did that puzzle in about 5 minutes. Definitely wasn't challenging for me.

The two puzzles that stumped me the longest were unreachable garden (around 1hr 30- 2hours) and floor 5 of the tower (2 hours). Everything else I was able to figure out in a very reasonable timeframe.

oh man... It took me 2 days with a lot of pauses during the weekend... HATE THAT ONE and whenever I will play it again, it will be just the same as before.

I'm really surprised by that. It's amazing how some people's brains work differently to others.

Prison Break was extremely easy for me, but I found unreachable garden to be annoying, while others didn't.

I guess it is all about our brain. You just see it in a second, or evolvee the solution during several iterations, or YOU JUST DONT SEE IT AT ALL!!! (Prison Break or in your case Garde :) ).
