Step by Step solution

[qawas]

I have no clue how this is intended. i've been sitting here for 30 minutes. i'll go with: not possible

[Stoney140]

Apologies for taking so long to figure that for you lol I was very confused because your lasers all looked correct but I never saw the clashes interact to get that result!

I'll do a few levels of hints and then the solution.

Thanks. :-)
Your third hint did it for me, but even then I needed another 15+ minutes of thinking and experimentation, having probably spent over 30 minutes on this one beforehand.

Made a guide that inlcudes a video of how to solve it

I tried this for so long, the connector always kept slipping down.

you should put it exactly like in my screenshot

I already solved this. but thanks

I could feel my brains oozing out of my left ear on that puzzle.

Omg THANK YOU for this. In retrospect I think I was about 90% of the way to the solution but then my brain just started to melt and I couldn't quite get it to click even after doing the preceding puzzles.

IT took me ages to see the end point in the puzzle so couldn't even figure out WHY i had to this or that.

Funny. All the DLC1 "Orpheus Ascending" main puzzles seemed a cakewalk, with Heart of Anubis throwing me a bit because of the three-dimensional nature and not noticing the 3rd blue receiver. But the "missing memory fragment" puzzles have stymied me; there's clearly some alternate mechanic being employed that I'm yet to grok. Will continue to drop back into the game and try, try again, but it seems karmic justice for looking down on the earlier puzzles in Orpheus Ascending.

edit: p.s. Made it through these, with some persistence and opening my mind to laser precedence and strategic interference; but the lessons didn't stick as I've since had my arse handed to me by 8 of the Into the Abyss puzzles, also involving advanced laser play.

Wow! this solution is much better than the one that ended up working for me.
My alternative solution: Put 1 connector in each window and connect it to everything (6 things). It ends up creating a circuit that can hold a signal for a short delay. When you stand in the middle close to where the windows are, you will see 3 laser intersections. If you want red you block blue here and you will see how 1 by 1 the laser intersections switch. When the intended laser is at the receive behind the button blocked door then you have to run to the button and you have just enough time to save the state. Then rinse an repeat, step by step.

FYI.. for anyone else wondering, 'Step by Step' is one of 3 "gold" encore puzzles at the end of DLC1, Orpheus Ascending, accessible after solving the 'Heart of Anubis' finale puzzle. Step by Step is the center puzzle, at the end of the pathway. (Hysteresis on left, Clockwork on right)

Ha ha! That's the exact cheese solution I came up with! :) Just came here to post it and you beat me to it!

Aha, your solution helped a lot to guide me to solution. Honestly, I don't believe I could have solved it on my own.
