How do I reach the crossover switch?
1 of 7: Go to the screen where Ceres is currently standing, and you'll find the controls Max told you about.
2 of 7: You need to press 8 buttons, and the lever will be available.
3 of 7: But not all of the buttons work the way you want them to.
4 of 7: 8 of the 16 buttons are "camouflage".
5 of 7: Whenever you press any of these, they will move to another location and the puzzle will reset.
6 of 7: The goal is to press the 8 buttons that aren't camouflage.
7 of 7: Unfortunately, this puzzle is randomized from the start, so there's no way I can tell you where those 8 buttons are. But if you look at the puzzle closely enough and watch where the camouflage buttons move to, you should be able to figure out which are the real buttons. Keep trying, and you should eventually get the answer.
