Q: Aquila pressure pad puzzle

[Thendarion]

I can't make heads or tails of the pressure pad puzzle. Did I miss a hint or something?

[Thendarion]

OK, I switched to German and it suddenly kinda made sense, so I was able to open the door. I still don't know exactly how it happened though.

[sdarigan]

Any hints? I'm stumped.

[Thendarion]

this puzzle is annoying :D

hint 1. all four pads have to be pressed down in the end
hint 2. the pads have to be activated in a sequence
hint 3. the four sentence parts make a full sentence at the end
hint 4. "I bide within the firmament, a star, a ziggurat, below of man and beast"
and now the annoying part: you need to wait till Harper says: "what a load of..." at which point the door opens. but this takes like forever, LOL

this puzzle is way easier to figure out in German, and I have no idea where I should have found hints

[sdarigan]

Thanks. I kept putting the ziggurat line in a different place, which is what got me stuck.

This puzzle is buggy. I entered the correct sequence a number of times and nothing happened. Then I came here because I thought I had the wrong sequence, and went back and tried it again and it worked.

[NicoleLauren]

Yes - I just went through this - the puzzle is buggy. I had placed the items correctly 4 times and nothing happened. I walked outside the building and came back in and it sounded like it reset and that time it finally worked.

Solution: 1) Pick up and place the projector on the slot to your left; place the fire extinguisher on the right side - opposite of the projector; 3) pick up the stone you threw through the window and place it on the spot furthest from you (closest to the screen display of the constellation); 4) have your character stand on the remaining slab (in the center closest to you, the player - opposite the stone)

[Thendarion]

I don't know, I have no issues with solving this puzzle. However, Harper can accidentally walk over pads, which breaks the sequence, so watch out for his path. :)

I placed the objects correctly and made sure not to walk over any pressure pads. Nothing happened. Harper just stood there, a single tone started playing and that's the way the game stayed. I waited and waited for Harper to say something, but he wouldn't. After quite a few attempts, it finally worked. I hadn't done anything differently. I agree with others who have said this puzzle is buggy. I'm just happy I finally got through it! :)

[El Botijo]

For some reason, I thought I was getting something wrong too. The fact that there are five stars in the constellation drawing on the background made me overthink this puzzle.
Thanks for the tip.

[El Tristo]

bug here, too, glad to have looked up

[marcusbmr]

Hey, sorry about that! We found an issue the pad puzzle had and fixed it with the latest update. I hope it works smoothly now! :)

[Filbo]

Yikes! Almost quit the game over this one. Had to share this tip with all of you. Look at the mural every time before starting to solve the pressure pad puzzle. If you skip this step, you'll be stuck. Gah!

[PCGamerGal]

This is apparently still broken. I have done this puzzle no joke 11 times. I have picked everything up, left back to the mainland, came back, clicked on the wall twice so he says both comments about what it is, put everything down again (left-most first, then right-most, then top, then I stand at the bottom), I'm making sure not to step over the plates as I go past them, and I wait - I think the longest I've waited was 8 minutes. All he does is stand there, forever. I am completely stuck here and it's really annoying. Does anyone have a savegame right after this point? I'd really like to finish.

[marcusbmr]

I'm really sorry to hear that. Send me your savegame to [e-mail] and I will send it back to you with the puzzle solved.

We'll also check the scene for bugs again.

I, too, just encountered the constellation puzzle bug today. I have sent an email with my save files to the developer.
