TheChallengecan be completed near the end ofThe Witness.
This chapter contains tips that will help you complete this location.
To unlock theChallengelocation, you’re gonna wanna activate all 11 lasers and reach theMountain.
Load your last save if you have already completed the game.
You should start on the lift.
initiate the door by using the switches below.
After you have started the eleven lasers, and opened the entrance into themountain, stand on the stairs.
Look at the box.
Activate the switch and lead the beam all the way to the end.
After you reach the door with a random puzzle, stand above the statue.
The statue is bent over the puzzle that you should be already familiar with.
Be sure that you understand the rules they operate on, because you are soon going to need it.
On the left, door in the wall opens.
You will reach a panel with a simple puzzle.
Opposite, there is a room with a number of simple puzzles.
You do not need to complete them, if you do not want to achieve 100% game completion.
Climb up the stairs on the left and continue up.
You should reach a column with a puzzle.
On the right, there opens a door blocked with another puzzle.
Opposite, there is the lastfilm access code.
To get to it, you gotta complete thechallenge.
You will cross a labyrinth and a cave with several inactive panels.
Finally, you will reach a music box.
The rules of the challenge are quite simple.
After it is activated, the machine plays two tunes.
While it is playing, you will have to solve all of the puzzles between the machine and thecode.
If you manage to do this,the codeis as good as yours.
If not, you will have to start over.
Stopping the tune cancels the challenge.
Do this if you are running out of time, or any of the puzzles is too difficult.
Also, it’s possible for you to reset puzzles.
All you gotta do is not solve it.
The panel displays a new puzzle.
It is a good idea to do this if you have more time.
Resetting does not apply for the last two puzzles in thechallenge.
After you have activated the machine, run towards the first set.
The interval between the moment of starting the machine and lighting up the panel is two seconds.
Use this to your advantage.
After you do this, run to the right.
The two points coincide with spots, where there are puzzles in the labyrinth.
In the cave on the right, there are four more puzzles.
One of the panels is to the right above up and the second one is to the left above.
The third one is in front of you below, and the fourth one is around the corner.
You are bound to waste several seconds on checking out which puzzle is currently active.
Especially the last one, where you will have to move elements over the screen.
After you solve all four puzzles, go ahead.
You reach three panels that require you to separate white and black fields.
Only one of them can be solved.
Have a quick look at the first one on the left.
If you see the solution, enter it.
If not, leave the panel and look at the second one.
If you do not see it on any of the three, select any, and start solving it.
Succeeding here lights up three more panels, this time with three different elements.
The rules here are identical - first find obvious solutions and then give it a try.
On your right, there is a labyrinth.
Going in the wrong direction activates barricades that prevent you from going onward.
Additionally, on two walls, there are arrow puzzles that you’re gonna wanna solve.
While crossing the labyrinth, do not run headlong blindly.
It is easy to get lost and make things more difficult.
Instead, walk calmly.
Solve both puzzles carefully.
The last two puzzles are on columns.
The first one requires you to separate white fields from the black ones, with the beam.
The second one requires you to draw a path over marked fields, using two beams.
Solve them before the second tune ends and you gain access to thecode.
During thechallengeignore the panels under the ceiling.
They only serve as a clock and nothing else.
This is the first environmental riddle.
The second environmental riddle.
In the corridor with the blue panels there is the first audiolog.
The next one is next to the music box.
It is hard to find in the darkness.
Walk forward through the corridor, then through the platform above the screen with the clips.
You will reach the first crossroad leading to the right and to the left.
You must turn left.
Keep going ahead until you reach a cart.
Next to it there is the audiolog.
The penultimate one is next to the box with the code for the film.
When you walk upstairs, you could find the last audiolog between the trees.
