Big Stairs, Little Stairs

This puzzle has quite a few objects and moving parts. You won’t need to use all of them to get the Sigil. Grab one of the two fan pieces and place it on the pressure plate to the right to open the barrier to Box #1.

Use the Box to climb up the steps to Box #2.

Place the Fan Piece on the fan in the center with the Connector on top. Use one Box on the fan, stand on it and place the second Box on the pressure plate to power it. You’ll fly up to the Connector on the ledge.

Place the Connector on the floating box and connect up the laser with the blue barrier.

Go through to the area with the red laser and pick up Box #3.

With three boxes available you’ll be able to climb the big staircase to Box #4. Use a fan piece on the pressure plate to open the barrier, then the three boxes to build up to the first level of the stairs.

Turn around, grab a box and use it to get to the top for Box #4. With four boxes you can complete the puzzle but we’ll grab the fifth.

Put a box and connector on the center fan next to the tall structure. Use a fan piece to activate the fan and place the other 3 boxes underneath to lift the connector up. The connector should bring the red laser to the red barrier with the box.

The connector will hover up and down slightly but it will stay in place long enough to open the barrier for Box #5.

Now place a fan piece, box and connector on the fan by the fence. Use the boxes to build up to the pressure plate on the small platform. Place the second fan piece on the pressure plate to activate the fan. Then place the boxes under the connector to lift it up. The connector should connect the red laser with the barrier holding the sigil.

Four boxes is all you need to open the barrier. Go through and grab the Red Sigil.

Jammer Quarantine (Red)

A Jammer is stuck behind a purple barrier. Use it through the window to disable the barrier with the Connector. Then use the connector to open the barrier with the Box.

Place the Box on the fan with the connector on top. The connector can attach to the laser, fan and barrier behind the pressure plate.

Use the Jammer to open the first barrier with the pressure plate. Go through to find a second Connector. Use it on the first Connector to open the barrier to the Red Sigil.

Three Little Connectors… and a Fan

Grab the fan piece and put it on the pressure plate to open the barrier. Use the Connector to open the next barrier and the second Connector to open the third barrier. Go through to find all 3 Connectors and the Box.

Use the third Connector to keep the third barrier open as well as the fourth, freeing up the second Connector.

Bring the second Connector through and move the third Connector closer to the fourth barrier. You don’t need to keep the third barrier open for now.

Place the second Connector so that you can see the third and open the fifth barrier to the Jammer.

You can use the Jammer to open the next barrier with a Box but I don’t think you need it. Go in reverse, taking the Connectors and Jammers with you back to the start.

Place the fan piece on the fan, with a Box and Connector on top. The connector should connect the laser to the fan power and two of the red barrier. Use a second connector temporarily to get the first connector up in the air. Then it can power itself.

Repeat the process of going through the barriers. Bring the Jammer with you and you can close the third barrier once you’re through. Place a Connector on the box attached to the connector in the air and use it to open the second last barrier.

Use the Jammer to open the final barrier and go up the stairs for the Red Sigil.

Weathertop

Once again there’s a Jammer stuck behind a purple barrier but this time we’ll free it. Use it to open the barrier to the Connector.

Use the Connector on the pressure plate to open the barrier to the Box. Then connect the blue laser to open the barrier to the fans. Place the box on the fan to the right, the one pointing towards the Jammer. Step on the pressure plate to throw the box over the wall.

Go through the purple barrier and place the Box by the fence so you can escape with the Jammer.

Use the Jammer to open the barrier to Box #2 and then place the Box and Jammer on the left fan to fling them over. Climb over the fence using the ladder and use the Jammer to open the barrier to the Red Sigil. The gate leading back to the start opens up.

Star #20

Reset the puzzles and then enter Jammer Quarantine. Complete it until the Connector is airborne and connected to the blue laser.

Enter Three Little Connectors… and a Fan. Complete it until you can get a Connector airborne and connect it to the blue laser from Jammer Quarantine. The first Connector is behind the building with the red laser. You can just spot it through the trees.

Use a second Connector to power the fan and send it up in the air.

Return to Weathertop.

The Star is up over a ledge on the left as soon as you enter but you’ll need to find 3 boxes to make a staircase up to it.

Complete the puzzle as before until you free two of the Boxes. Use the second box to free the first after you escape with the Jammer.

Run around the back with the Jammer to grab the second Connector.

For the third box is behind the barrier that needs the blue laser. Use the two connectors, one at the entrance to pick up the laser from Three Little Connectors.

Open the blue barrier and go through with the Jammer to open the final barrier. Grab Box #3 and bring it back to the entrance. Staircase up to the ledge and you’ll find the Star on the other side.
