Keepsake Hints
How do I get all the teleporter pads working?
1 of 12: You'll need to find the room where all the teleporter pads are controlled. You must use some of the yellow pads (which are the only ones working to begin with), to go down into the room with big colored circles on the floor (to begin with, only yellow circles will be showing).
2 of 12: The teleporter pad control room has four "control panels" located around the room. If the room were compared to a clock face, the pads would be located roughly at 1:00, 4:00, 7:00, and 10:00.
3 of 12: When you go into a close-up of a "control panel", you'll find you can change the face of the "control panel" showing by clicking on the silver ring. When you do, some of the colored lights displayed on the floor will go on or off.
4 of 12: If you could make all the colored lights on the floor stay on at once, then all the teleporter pads would work.
5 of 12: When you first enter the room, three of the "control panels" are turned so that they don't have any colored circles showing. However, one of the panels (the one at 10:00) is turned so that three yellow circles are showing. Coincidentally, all the yellow teleporter pads (and only the yellow teleporter pads) are working.
6 of 12: Assuming that the three yellow circles are still on (on the first control panel), then when another panel is turned so that one or more additional yellow circles show, then the same number of the yellow circles on the floor will go off.
7 of 12: If you were to study only one circle, say the yellow one at the very top of the set of three yellow circles, and you rotated the control panels so that other panels showed the yellow circle at the very top of the set of three yellow circles, you should be able to determine why the same yellow circle on the floor changes from being off then on.
8 of 12: Every time a control panel is set so that the same circle shows, it will act like a switch -- either it will activate the circle of light on the floor (if it is off at the time), or it will turn off the circle of light on the floor (if it is on at the time).
9 of 12: The easiest way to solve this puzzle is to find a specific way to set each of the four "control panels" so that each circle of light (for all colors) is on once -- and only once.
10 of 12: One way to work out the solution would be to write down what each setting of each control panel does -- which colored circles are on, and which are off (making note of the control panel, rather than the floor). For example, when you first entered this room, one control panel was set to three yellows (no blue or red). For this panel, you could make draw out a diagram of three yellow circles, and empty/blank circles where the red and blue circles could appear.
11 of 12: You could do the same for the other settings on this control panel, making note of which circles on the panel are on and off. Then do the same for the other panels. When you are done, you should have 12 small diagrams -- three for each panel -- showing all possible settings for the panels.
12 of 12: From the diagrams that you created, you should be able to look through them and figure out a combination of colored circles that can activate all the colored circles on the floor once each. Once you have a solution that could work, you'll need to enter it onto the control panels to test it.
