Help or hints needed
The Satellite doesn't update its activated state when you click on it. So its a bug. But you can still progress. You're actually supposed to go to the communications room and do the puzzle thats on the screen. Then pick up the spirit radio instructions.Fred Buer wrote:I need help with the satellite. Snuck past the second patch of bees, activated the puzzle to reroute power, aligned the satellites, and now I'm sort of stuck. Tells me I still need to go to the auxillary power thingy.
Am I experiencing a bug? Or am I supposed to get past those spiders in their webs somehow?

I've already done the satellite arrangement on the screen in the communications room. It doesn't give me the spirit radio frequencies.
How do I progress? And how am I really supposed to get by those bees? I feel there's a trigger there I might've missed.

So, is there a way to reset this puzzle? I press the correct bottles in, but then nothing happens.mr_cyberpunk wrote:Ok the Puzzle is simple.
First Column, press the top bottle.
Second Column press the eighth bottle
Third Column press the seventh bottle
Fourth Column press the ninth bottle
Really the puzzle should reset itself if you press more than 4 bottles, I think BFG should change that given how many people got stuck there. Even I did.
Never too late for coffee, never too early for beer.
I must be getting dumber in my old age, but I just can't figure out the satellite power puzzle just past the bees. I thought I had all the combinations figured out by can't get more than 3 of them to light up on the right side. And, sometimes using the exact same combinations that light the right side up one time, won't work the next time I try it.
2 hrs wasted.
Feeling really dumb right now.
Think I'll go to sleep for a while.

All play and no work make me a happy boy!
I am on my third playthrough right now. I just didn't notice the sheet of paper the first time around.
Also, it seems like the entire Satellite Uplink control box (atop that little area with the dish which you need to climb a ladder to reach) is an entirely optional place to visit. One would think you'd need to go there to push a button or something.
jmarsh07: That puzzle works like this: The up and down keys will move the LEFT-MOST column up, but half of the colors will stay still, while the same for the RIGHT-MOST column. The left and right buttons will change the colors of the left and right half of the colored bar currently on the bottom at any given time. Takes some getting used to, but once you understand it, the puzzle really is a cinch.

Day 8 - on which level can I find the change needed for the Red Bolt vending machine? I began to suspect it was in the pockets of one of the slain in the first room, but now that I'm locked out of it, I certainly hope not.

Help!
I've come to a full stop in Day 5 in the Sesen Temple. I think it might be a bug, but I'm at the maze puzzle test (skull and anubis) and every time I click on the activate icon to start the puzzle it causes me to step back so I can't do the puzzle.
It's got me beat. Up to this point the game has not caused any problems at all and has played very smoothly.

That happened to me!! Try to right click to "Skip" the puzzle. It's the only thing that worked for me. I feel your pain!annie from OZ wrote:Help!

I climbed off and on that dang thing 500 times.
