Secret Pattern Puzzle

Key Items Needed: Blue Crystal, Red Crystal, Yellow Crystal, Papers

This puzzle features three wheels which spin around the circles when the corresponding lever is pulled.

On either side are two small drawers containing Blue, Red, and Yellow Crystals. One of each color of Crystal must be placed in each of the three wheels.

The wheels have two slots for a Crystal, though only one Crystal may be placed per wheel. Depending on where the Crystal is placed, it will change the pattern the Crystal traces when the wheel is turned on.

Check the drawer in the desk to the left for Papers with a hint of where to place the Crystals.

Take the Propeller.

Drone Repair Puzzle

Once all three components of the drone are repaired, a puzzle will appear on the screen. To complete final repairs, you must send the drone to all the broken points without running out of fuel. Use the dial in the center to change direction, and the button on the right to select the next space.

When this is completed, the drone will fly to open a panel in the wall.

There is a Gear missing from this puzzle.

A Saw is hanging on the board with other tools.

A Wrench can be found on the desk under the chalkboard.

The Hammer is in the drawer beneath the secret pattern puzzle.

Enter these numbers in order on the dials to open the furnace door.

Grab a nearby Shovel and scoop coal into the furnace. Continue scooping until the furnace doors close and steam appears.

A note on the wall to the left gives the hint to press the button that corresponds to the pipes spraying steam. Use the ropes on either side of the puzzle to move the X-ray screen around to follow the pipes from the buttons to the top.

Select the four correct buttons to get the Gear.
