Stuck in the Golem Factory
I can't switch off the lasers in the lower section of the Golem Factory.

I've switch the Grid Alpha and Grid Beta buttons to "OFF" but the lasers are still on and blocking my path. Any ideas?

Thanks

If I recall correctly, you are talking about the lasers in the back? that lead to the 4th device? I believe those are on thier own grid accessed through the control panel on the 2nd floor. The other lasers are controlled down there, but some can be overloaded and destroyed.

You are correct. The control panel doesn't seem to turn them off however. Not sure if that is a bug or a change in this version of the game.

My solution was to use one of the mirrors nearby that I missed.

Thanks :)

Yeah, but what do your do if you already "used the mirrors"? Because in my copy, the mirrors don't move, pulling the levers just destroyed the crystals. I've managed to destroy every single Golem crystal on all three floors, but nothing I do to the control panel seems to turn those two lasers in the back off so I can access the last Golem spire. Can someone tell me the E-X-A-C-T configuration the panel needs in order to turn off those two lasers if everything else in the tower is complete?

Okay, something everyone who plays this insane area should know; THE ROUND SHINY THINGS IN THE UPPER CORNERS OF THE LOWEST LEVEL ARE MOVABLE MIRRORS.

What do you do with them, please ?

You push them into the lasers. LOTS of trial and error involved, but if you can redirect the lasers into the crystals, you can destroy them.

Oh, and the settings you want to use on the control panel are;
Grid Alpha, Grid Beta, Shielding First, Shielding Second = Off.
Make SURE they're all on Off, since Shielding Second goes from On to High to Off.
Now you can smash spawning crystals that create golems.
