Obsidian Hints
How do I get out of regulation mode?
1 of 14: You actually learned how to do this already.
2 of 14: You got a very big hint when you solved the puzzle at the piazza.
3 of 14: Do you remember seeing a red light glowing next to one of the switches that was part of the pre-flight check, in the vision you had when you trapped Bismuth?
4 of 14: It was next to switch D1.
5 of 14: Why don't you try looking behind the cover over the light?
6 of 14: In particular, do so immediately after you've flipped switch A4 in the check.
7 of 14: Hmm ... D1 was Bismuth's starting position in the game in the piazza.
8 of 14: And A4 was yours.
9 of 14: Why don't you look at the light next to A4 as well?
10 of 14: There's a green light there.
11 of 14: Those lights correspond to Lilah's and Bismuth's positions in the game in the piazza.
12 of 14: And you can basically play the same game here with the switches.
13 of 14: The switches themselves let you move Lilah, and you can open the covers over the lights to prevent Bismuth from moving to a square -- this is the same as removing a piece in the piazza.
14 of 14: The same set of moves should win this segment as well.
