9. Solving The Statue & Pool Puzzle Tips
Break Wall Next To Secret Battle & Activate Switch
Check your map for the location of Secret battle icon. Break the wall and go inside to activate a switch.
Punch The Statue To Reveal A Button
Head to the back side of the Statue to reveal that it can be punched. Once you punch it, it will move forward. The bottom of the statue can be interacted with to open up the pool.
Interact With the Button To Reveal the Pool
Interacting with the button at the bottom of the statue will open up the pool in front of the statue. This will also be the first underwater puzzle which you will need to solve.
9, 14, 26. Solving Underwater Puzzles Tips
This level will feature several underwater puzzles which you will need to solve in order to progress. Check out the tips below to learn how to solve these in case you get stuck!
Grab Rad Suit Before Going In Water
Before going in the water, look for a white lab coat floating near by. This is a Rad Suit and is essential for dealing with the pool's radiation. Grab it before going in.
Keep An Eye On Your Radiation Resistance
While underwater, your radiation resistance will start to deteriorate. Once this is depleted, you will start to lose health, and your vision will start to cloud. Look for radiation collectibles and rad suits to restore your resistance!
Break Walls By Dashing
While underwater, you will find that some walls can be broken in order to lower the water level. Keep in mind that you cannot melee underwater. Instead, you can dash into the walls to break them!
Shoot At Green Targets
There will also be small green holes with targets at the end of them. Shooting at these holes will also cause the water to drain. Make sure that the target is in your line of sight in order to accurately hit them! Shooting at the targets without any line of sight will not cause the water level to drop!
14. How To Solve Sewer Puzzle
- 1. Swim to the objective door, turn left
- 2. Head toward the locked gate with the green door.
- 3. Jump out the water and shoot the green target.
- 4. Break through the green wall
- 5. Punch the fallen box to move it.
- 6. Jump up the pillars and grab the wall
- 7. Look towards the objective door, shoot the green target
20. Solving the Gate & Statues Puzzle Tips
Shine Both Lights on the Gate
In order for you to open the gate, you will need to turn the statues by punching a button behind them. To get behind the buttons, you may need to pass through a gate that you must shoot to open.
This is a Timed Puzzle
Keep in mind that this puzzle is timed. If you are too slow, the statue will turn back to its original position, and you will need to re-do the puzzle from the start. Use your dashes to move around quickly, and turn both the statues at the same time!
28. Using the Crucible Tips
One-Shot Kill Enemies
The Crucible is a strong weapon that is able to one-shot enemies with a single swing! You can take down the strongest enemies as long as you have charges to use!
Check Out The Crucible Weapon Guide Here!Swings Use Up Charges
The Crucible can only be used as long as it has charges (Up to 3). The charges will be displayed in the middle of the HUD when you bring out the weapon. A swing will use up a charge, so use only when absolutely necessary!
Collect Red Collectibles to Recharge Shards
Keep an eye out for red swords while moving around the area. Collecting these red swords will allow you to replenish 1 charge on your Crucible Sword, allowing you to use it more times!
