Chapter 10: Observation

Here we are at the end and doesn't this remind you of the box? Well it kind of is like the box but trust me when I say "it's more confusing." Also, make sure to listen careful as you can get easily lost while trying to solve this puzzle.

First walk Ida up the wall to the northeast and stand on the blue tile. Rotate the structure using the protruding circles at the top of the structure and rotate the structure until the Crow person is facing south west. Rotate the protruding circles at the base of the structure until the blue column your standing on rotates until you line up with the platform the Crow person is on. From there walk to the north east door to the next area above you.

This bright orange area is incredibly confusing because of it's very awkward angles. Because it can get awkward I'll be using the button in the middle as the reference point. Start off by walking to the end of the platform. Pull the protruding circles to the right until the button is on the east inner wall. Walk along the platform and go down the ladder and walk to the end of the path. Pull the protruding circles again to the right so the button is on the south inner wall. Walk up the two sets of stairs and at the top of the second stair move four tiles stopping when your standing directly above the protruding circle and lined up with the Crow person. Pull the protruding circles to the right so the platform your standing on rotates bringing you to the inner section of the structure. Note that the button will be hidden on the northern inner wall. From here walk south down the wall to the end of the path. Pull the protruding circles to the left so the wall next to Ida becomes flat and stairs are revealed just below her. Walk to the end of the path. Rotate the structure to the left one last time stopping when the button is on the south inner wall with stairs leading down towards it and you on the east inner wall. Walk down the stairs and step on the button make a light appear on the side of the wall to complete the area and from there walk through the doorway to return to the previous area.

From the now closed door walk onto the blue tile that you used to reach the orange area previously. Pull the protruding circles one turn to the left at the base of the structure to rotate the blue tile and to have Ida stand on the outer wall. From there walk along the wall past the Crow person and stop once your standing on the red tile to the south. Pull the protruding circles at the base again but this time to the right two turns and Ida will be back standing on the inner wall. Simply move Ida into the door beside her to enter the next area.

This greenish area can be a little confusing but its much easier than the orange area. To start walk all the way along the wall until you get to the end of the platform. Pull the protruding circles on the grey platform until the white platform lines up with the platform Ida is currently standing on. Move Ida onto the next white platform and walk along it to the south to enter the door at the end to exit out of the middle door. Simply pull the protruding circles again until the door to the right of Ida opens up which will happen when the grey platform she is standing on lines up with that door. Have Ida enter that door to exit the revealed door to the north west. Pull the protruding circles again until the button becomes visible to the right of Ida then have her step on it to complete the area. Move Ida through the door to return to the previous area.

Now that your back in the original area walk back onto the red tile and pull the protruding circle at the top to rotate the entire structure so that the Crow person is sitting to the south west. Pull the protruding circles at the base of the structure to rotate the red tile so Ida is back on the outer wall. Walk along the wall to the blue tile and rotate the entire structure to the right one turn. Next pull the protruding circles at the base of the structure so that Ida is back on the inner walls. Walk Ida onto the blue tile on the south west platform. Rotate the structure to the right one turn. Pull the protruding circle to the right one turn at the base again to have Ida standing on the innermost wall. Move Ida to the red tile to the right of her. Next pull the protruding circles at the base one turn to the right to have Ida stand on top of the red tiles. Rotate the entire structure two turns to the left to reveal stairs the lead to a door. Walk through the door to enter the final area.

Like the last area this is much easier than the orange area. Take note of the platform the Crow person is sitting on. I'll be usingn the direction of the point as a reference. Start off by walking until you reach the wall. Pull the protruding circles to the right until the point is facing north west. Now move Ida through the door to her north west to exit one level up. Once Ida exits rotate the structure using the protruding blocks to the left until the point is facing south west. Walk onto the middle platform and rotate the structure again until the point is facing north west to exit one level up. Once Ida exits the doorway rotate the structure until the point is facing north east. Walk Ida onto the middle platform, rotate the structure so the point is facing south west and rotate the structure one more time until the point is facing south east. Move Ida through the doorway to exit one level up. Rotate the structure until the point is facing north west. Walk Ida onto the middle platform and then rotate the structure until the point is facing south east. This gives Ida access to the button so have her step on it to activate the light beneath her. Walk Ida towards the point and stop at the end. Rotate the structure so the point is now finally facing north west and exit through the door to return to the original area.

Once you return to the original ara it will shift some platforms while revealing the pedestal. Once the shifting is done walk onto the red tile and have Ida standing on the innermost wall again. Walk her to the Crow person and rotate the structure until the Crow person is sitting to the north west. Move Ida onto the blue tile to the right of her. Pull the protruding block to the right one turn to have Ida standing on top of the blue tile. Rotate the structure on turn to the right to connect the platform you are currently on with the platform leading to the pedestal. Walk Ida to the pedestal to have her return the final geometrical shape and complete her journey.
