A building in the eastern part of the island, near a wooden pier. When you leave the Swamp, head left and walk until you reach the other side of the mountain. Don't worry if you go too high. There should be a path nearby that leads down.

To open the door, you have to separate black squares from the white ones. Every color can stand on its own, unless it is connected to the opposite color.

Inside, you will encounter a new type of puzzle. However, it is much easier than the one that you had to deal with in the Swamp. Your task is to separate the colors. All the fields with the same color have to be connected, but separated from other colors. There can be empty fields between the same colors.

After solving two sets of puzzles, open the door. Inside, you will find three more puzzles. Remember the ones in the Monastery that required you to use branches? Here, there is a colored glass between you and the puzzle. Thanks to that, you can see the real colors on the panel. Write down the solution, approach the panel and solve the puzzle. The first panel has to be viewed through the yellow glass. The second one - through the blue glass. You need to look at the third panel through both (when you position yourself properly, the color will change to green). Remember that the glass blocks your way to the panel. You need to write down the solution to each puzzle.

Go up the stairs. The next two panels require you to use the light of the sun. The switches on the right lower or raise the wall. First, lower it and solve the first puzzle. Solving the second one requires you to raise the wall. Go left, go down the stairs and enter the elevator.

The puzzle in the elevator has six possible solutions. Each solution takes you to a different floor. On each floor, there is different light that changes the colors on the panel. As you go up the floors, you will stop on the third one. The access to fourth floor is impossible, because there is no power and the stairs are broken. From the fifth floor, you can leave the building and on the sixth floor, you will find the laser.

To find out the proper combination, notice what is changing as you change floors. Also, look around the floors. Notice the interior and the differences between them. After reaching the top, activate the laser.

If you happen to enter the building through another entrance, or you get stuck in the tower with the destroyed stairs, you simply need to approach the stairs and wait for a moment. The elevator comes spontaneously to your floor.
