How do I turn off the series of four burners that are blocking my way?
1 of 8: In concept, this puzzle is pretty simple -- all you need to do is keep flipping a series of switches, and you'll eventually turn off the burners. The problem is that all of the switches are on timers, and if you're not quick enough, the burners will restart themselves.
2 of 8: In particular, be careful not to trip over the beams on the "floor" or to spend time climbing over walls. You should take running jumps to get over all of the obstacles in this section of the ship, or you may find yourself short on time.
3 of 8: To make matters easier, though, there's a pretty definite order in which you have to flip the switches. Just keep looking to see what's changed after you flip a switch, and head there. What to do next should be obvious. But if you're still having problems, read ahead for a more explicit answer to this puzzle.
4 of 8: Start by going down the first hallway to your right as you're entering this section of the ship, and then climb the ladder that's in the hallway. You'll find a switch at the top of the hallway that opens a door on the side of the ship further from the windows.
5 of 8: Go through that door (remember to jump over the wall) and flip the switch inside that room to turn off the first two burners in the sequence.
6 of 8: Then, walk over the two burners (which should now be off) and flip yet another switch. This one opens a door on the side of the ship near the windows.
7 of 8: Again, jump into that door and flip another switch. This one turns off the second pair of burners in the hallway.
8 of 8: At this point, if the first two burners have turned back on, run back to the switch that turned them off. None of the doors should close on you, so this puzzle just becomes a matter of getting to the burner switches quickly enough. Keep flipping the switches until you manage to get all four burners off at once, and then run down that hallway to get to the next part of the ship.
