Golden Puzzle

[beefkake31]

I did everything there is to do in the first area E1. Got both stars, both lost levels, etc. But the only thing left is the golden puzzle which looks like it's nowhere near opening (2 of 24 blue lights are on). My question is basically... Are the golden puzzles for later or am I missing something (dont wanna know what im missing specifically so no spoilers please). I don't like moving on until I 100% an area but don't wanna waste time if there's nothing else to be done.

im pretty sure they are for later. I finished the whole east area (east 1, 2 and 3) and now the doors have 1 of the things on top lit up + some of the circles which I think are stars. So I'm guessing you need to finish all areas and get all stars to get in them.

Okay sounds good thanks appreciate it

Yeah, linked to Stars specifically I think. At least one Golden Double door began to light up with 3 notches when I had 3 stars. Not sure they're all the same though. It's the only thing I had three of when passing, so it wasn't linked to the Blue Triangle 'Optional' Puzzles.

You could be right though I swear I did a lost puzzle in E1 and followed the sprite to the golden gate and one light was lit up, this was before I'd gotten either star there...

The golden gates, for me, light up when completing 2 extra puzzles after completing 8 to activate the bridge.

Alright, can absolutely confirm the golden gates are directly related to the "lost" puzzles, NOT the stars. I have 2 stars, have completed 3 "lost" puzzles, and there are 3 circles lit up on the golden gates.

I don't think it's the lost puzzles specifically, I think it's how many puzzles you do beyond what you need to open the gate. AKA, when the little blue clouds go off, if the gate is lit and you can already go through, they go to the door instead. I specifically checked world 1 - I did both 'lost' puzzles before puzzles 4 and... 5, I think. Opened the gate, the gold gate had nothing, but as soon as I finished 4 one orb lit up and 5 lit up another. So it's basically the reward for going above and beyond in each zone to do every puzzle (and I assume that solving those puzzles will have something to do with the 'astronomical temple' back at the beginning of the game.)

Yes I think that's right actually, I just know they aren't to do with the stars! Thanks for correcting me on that!

Gold puzzles can only be done AFTER the fourth trip to the megastructure (the triangles up top) and after completing all the excess levels not required for the tower (which is two per area to light the circles.)

The gold gate in the center of the map / megastructure area is different and seems to instead require completing all the gold puzzles in the individual areas.

You can see that two lights are added to the gates each time you finish the two bonus puzzles per area, so you can conclude that you have to finish all the puzzles.

I just got into the megastructure for my first time so this is cool to know. I completely blanked on the stars and I assume *those* are for the astronomical temple, so knowing there's a master golden gate area later is cool. Man, I'm loving this game so much. I'm sorry for the folks who wanted it to be just another puzzle game only but I'm really enjoying the whole 'tp1 baked into an rpg' thing we have going on here.

I already finished all th golden puzzle, Cornelius told me to come back to the adav and with new coordinates. i went to the adav and just solve another time the last puzzle to reach the end, nothing special so, I missed it...

EDIT : Nevermind I found it.

[Medik]

What is this ADAV you speak of? Cornelius told me to meet him, where is he?

On the megastructure map location (before entering it with the VTOL) there's two structures other than the station, he's at one of them.

1 light = 1 extra puzzle beyond 8 required and no matter is it lost puzzle or none. Finished 9 puzzles on the level - got 1 light. Finished 10 puzzles per level - got 2 lights.
