Talos 2 needs more attention. One of my favorite games.
Still in the middle of Talos 1. Good to know theres a sequel to look forward to. Love the atmosphere of the game, but did find the computer parts tediuous, yes i know dos but clicking responses and reading texts gets old. It makes sense tho, merging traditional puzzles with new. And the egyptian style is great. I found the 3rd person mode way too late, and that salvaged the game for me
I have 4 more puzzles left in the game and it's left me totally stumped.... im dying to see v what happens at the end....
Some puzzle logics havent been explained in Talos 2 and u can only prolly figure it out if you remember some of the first games puzzles, like. It took me a while to figure it out as well since I played the first ages ago, incl its dlc and the second game never really reminded me I could do it.blocking the laser with ur body.
I'm doing my part. Now I just need some time to actually play it.![]()
Cmon gaf. Buy this game.
It's 3 separate chapters you can pick on the main menu screen. I'm only on the first one so far, haven't had a ton of time to play, but so far it doesn't gradually work you back up, the puzzles are pretty hard right off the bat. No gimmes.Does the DLC slowly ramp up the puzzles from the start or does it dump you back into the world with all mechanics in place?
I finished the main game back in February, and I would like to ease my way back in.
DLC looks big.
Thanks, I went ahead and bought it last night. The very first puzzle was one of those crossing the beam mechanics, I have a hard time with these as I don't understand them very well. I know they have to do with what beam gets crossed first gets priority or something, but the 5 or 6th puzzle I can't figure out, It's a line with a dozen recievers all in a row blocking the doors above them. I know I'm supposed to use the blue beam to 'cross' or split the red and blue beam but It's not working.the puzzles are pretty hard right off the bat.
Get used to it lol almost all of the puzzles in the first chapter are those types of puzzles and they get more complicated. To me they're difficult as well to discern as well, but I figured them out. But I do wish they weren't laser only puzzles. Wish they mixed in some jammers and air lifts and clones in DLC1 as well.Thanks, I went ahead and bought it last night.

I had difficulty figuring it out too. What I can say without giving too much away is above the cauldron thing you interact with to "beat" the puzzle room, there is something there they don't allow you to see for some reason that the laser pointing downward is touching that has to do with what you're supposed to do. I know that's vague, but I didn't want to give any hints for spoiler reasons.I finished the 1st chapter of the DLC. That final inside the sphere puzzle took me tons of trial and error before figuring it out. Very difficult to trace out.
Already started the 2nd chapter and did all but number 7 of the green puzzles. I don't see what can be done here in 7? There is nothing to connect on either side. ??
I might have to move on to the reds and come back later.
The 2nd chapter is more fun. The story with Yaqut is cute. Looking forward to the big cube, assuming I can get there.
I've been really enjoying this DLC.
Not what I wanted to hear. I just finished the Red puzzles on chapter 2 and am moving to the blue puzzles before the big cube. I may set the DLC aside once I finish the big cube in chapter 2. I'll try out the 3rd chapter later on in the year.Holy shit man, the final DLC chapter Into The Abyss is like the first chapter on steroids. Almost all laser puzzles except for a few and these are crazy enough to drive me mad. I finally did something I never did for this game. I looked up a solution online. I've gone through both games completing every single puzzle on my own, but some of these ones I just don't have the patience or focus to tolerate it. The other night I had a headache and this one puzzle was so ridiculous with the lasers. And what makes it worse is in almost all of these puzzles if you mess up, you have to hit restart from checkpoint. In almost all puzzles in Talos 2, if you messed up, the game would give you a way to "unstuck" yourself. But in these puzzles you can literally get yourself stuck in a room with no way out and have to start from the very beginning. That's what happened in one of these complicated puzzles and I say fuck this and looked up the solution. I was not going to spend 5 hours on one room. I want to move on to other games.
Yeah a lot of the puzzles are connect lasers to open doors, then connect other lasers to the original connector plus the targets to keep the door open, then take the original connector and move it elsewhere, and some things I don't even technically know how exactly the doors stayed open based on mechanics, but once you get that chain going if you accidentally break the chain and the doors close on you, you can't get back to previous rooms again, so you have to restart the puzzle over. And it's easy to mess this up because these puzzles require a lot of experimenting to see what does what. If you hate the laser puzzles, these will drive you nuts. Also they seem to be random, they don't escalate in difficulty. Randomly a few in the middle weren't that hard and weren't as laser centric, but then it goes back to lasers again. This one puzzle was really long. The longest normal puzzle maybe in either Talos game, excluding the Hexahedron, that doesn't count. It required so damn much maneuvering and moving things back and forth, it took me like 2 hours to finish that room.Not what I wanted to hear.

I'm also working on the Riven remake, I'm about puzzled out.
