Ancient World: the electricity puzzles and the locked door

Quick answer

Each electricity puzzle is a web of nodes you shoot with the Shock Gun. A shot flips the node you hit and every node wired to it, and the puzzle completes when all of them are lit at once, which overloads and shuts the circuit down. Use the gun's normal attack, since the secondary drains its energy. The trick players share for the hard fourth one: treat it like a sliding puzzle and move the last unlit node toward an end point that has only one connection, then flip it there. The Ancient World door opens like the library did: through the three pointed towers, starting with the one on the cut-off island, reached from the dome-shaped teleport building.

How the node puzzles work

The wires are hard to trace, which is most of the difficulty: trace each node's connections before you shoot. Two players say the first three puzzles are one-and-done and only the fourth needs the end-point trick. Whether a puzzle can be reset without reloading is not settled; one player could not, and had saved since, so save before you start one.

Save first: there is no autosave

  1. Shoot a node with the Shock Gun's normal attack: it flips that node and every node wired to it.

    Aim the gun at a node in the cable web and fire; lightning arcs from the gun to the node, and the nodes glow brighter.

  3. Stuck with one dark node that will not light without darkening another? Walk it, flip by flip, to an end node with a single connection, then flip it there.

The Ancient World door

It opens the way the library did: find the three pointed towers. Start with the one on the island cut off from the rest of the region, which you reach from the dome-shaped teleport building with a triangle on top; two of those domes are open from the start, one next to the closed gate. The thread's 20 replies trade the tower order and where the blue piece is; the shape of the answer is the same each time.

The orange seals here

The Orange Ocre Seal Breaker also opens the orange seals in this region and back in the first one, including a seal near the first Wind Gem. Where it comes from is on the seals page.
