World 1 | All Stars The Talos Principle Guide

Star 1

Place the cube in front of the gargoyle

You find the first start on The Swapper level. After you solve the puzzle, connect the connector with the blue source and the button as well as with the connectors on the towers, set the fan on the pressure plate past the first gate. Collect the cube and place it in front of the gargoyle, past the third gate. You can now jump onto it, after you have climbed onto the cube and onto the wall.

Keep jumping on the wall, up until you reach the star

Collect the cube and go right, over the wall. Keep jumping between the wall fragments, up until you reach the star.

Star 2

Locate the ruins with the button and the fan

In the Open Field puzzle, to the left of the captive robot, which you have been freeing, there are ruins. Inside, there is a blue button that activates the fan to launch you towards the star.

You need to connect everything, just like in the puzzle, but reverse the colors: place one of the connectors on the cube, which needs to be placed on the fan on the red side. Use that connector to couple the button in the ruins, the button of the blue fan and the source. Use the other connector to connect the source with the fan button. Go to the ruins and use the fan.

Star 3

Make it over the wall using the cube

To get to the third star, you need to leave, like in the case of the Open Field puzzle. Collect the cube that you have been using to solve the puzzle and walk over to the barrier - the entrance in the wall. Put the cube down and jump with it, into the fortress.

Go straight ahead and go left, right before the entrance to the Through a Windows puzzle. There, in the corner, near the crumbled fragments of the wall, you can place the cube and climb that fragment of the wall, along with the cube.

Stand onto the cube and jump to reach the star

You should now be able to spot the star above the entrance to the Through the Windows puzzle. Keep jumping there, along with the cube that you need to jump onto the wall next to the star.

Star 4

Direct the red beam through the windows

Star no. 4 can be obtained in So Close, So Far. It is very easy to make a mistake here and you may be required to load the game over again, which makes it especially difficult. After you solve this puzzle, direct the red beam, between windows, onto the red gate button, still before the star. Past the gate, there is a pressure switch - place the fan there.

Direct the connector to the red button and place it onto the plate

Return to the beginning of the puzzle and set the connector to send the beam through the window, towards the button and have it mounted onto the pressure plate.

During the recording, set the beam at the opposite side to cross the window and hit the connector that you have just been setting. Now, take the way around to the starting point.

Set the fan and wait next to it

Still on the recording, set the copied connector to make it hit the blue source, buttons right next to it and the button in the back, between the gate and the star.

Place the fan on the pressure step and walk onto the other one. Wait, for about 20-30 seconds to make sure everything works properly. Take the fan over to your side and turn off the recording.

Reset the improperly connected connectors by following the copy on the recording

Now, follow your recording and make corrections - couple connectors established by your copy with the ones that you are currently setting, also set the connector onto the red beam at the other side. As soon as this puzzle starts, where you are standing on the plate, on the recording, run towards the red source and use the connector here to redirect the red beam to the red gate button that leads to the star. There, run as fast as you can. If you have waited long enough, you should make it and collect the star.
