Lost Marshes Pandora Star Puzzle Solution
When you are near the Pandora Monument, you will notice that there are some wooden walkways with some signs.
We highly recommend that you use these signs to follow numbers. This is because we will be going to multiple areas that will have their own numbers. You can use these signs to locate the number you need to go to.
There is another puzzle in the area. Check out this guide on the Lost Marshes Prometheus Star Puzzle Solution.
Start by going towards the area marked with 2. Use the signs if you are having trouble navigating.
Go up the stairs and walk past the purple Exclusion Field into the puzzle area. When you enter, the message will say Possibilities.
Start by going towards the right and using the fan to ascend. Here there will be a small platform with a box. Grab this box and bring it down.
Once you have the box, bring it down and take it towards the strange device ahead. Use the box to swap it out.
This will give you the Accumulator, which can take a certain light and project it. This Accumulator will be empty and will need the blue light.
Take the Accumulator and go back up to the fan. Use it to go to the platform from where you got the box.
Then, place the Accumulator here to get the blue light inside of it from a Generator in the distance.
Once you have the light inside the Accumulator, go back down. Connect the Accumulator by looking towards the pillar in the position shown in the image below.
This will establish a connection with a pillar far away in the distance.
Now, leave the area and start following the wooden walkways. Use the signs to navigate to the area marked 5.
When you go past the purple Exclusion Field, you will immediately be greeted with a message saying Twice. Go towards the right and you should see a Jammer.
Grab the Jammer and take it out of the area to ensure that it does not mess with the puzzle. Preferably, we recommend placing it in the corner with the other devices.
In this corner, you should be able to see an Accumulator that is pointing towards a Generator creating red light.
Grab the empty Accumulator and then place it down on the ground to establish a connection with the light. In this way, the Accumulator will grab the red light and keep it inside.
Now, take the Accumulator and look towards the pillar as shown in the image below.
Select the Connect option and this will establish a connection with the pillar in the distance and you will place it automatically on the ground.
You can even see the blue light from the previous Accumulator still pointing here.
Afterwards, return to the wooden pathways and find the area marked by the number 3. When you enter this area, you will be greeted with the message: The Wall. The setup of this puzzle will look pretty complicated.
Go towards the right and there will be a path here. On this path, there will be a box. Grab the box and return back to the start of the area.
Now, go towards the left with this box. There will be a device on a platform that you can swap out with the box.
After swapping the items, you will have the device in your hand. Use this device to create a hole right next to the box that you swapped onto the platform.
Then, go to the right and use the path to go towards the area on the other side of this hole.
Here, you will see a device called a Connector that has a red light entering from a Generator and going into a Receiver. Grab the Connector and go towards the hole.
Place the Connector on the other side of the hole, where the box is.
Now, return to that side via the path and grab the connector. After that, look up and locate the Pandora Statue and the pillar where you have the blue and red lights shining.
You should be able to spot them in the distance and can even jump up for a better view.
Take the connector and establish the first connection with the pillar as shown in the image below. You should be able to see it right past the Exclusion Field.
Turn towards the right and establish a second connection with the Pandora Statue itself.
This will establish a connection between the two when the Connector is down. The combined blue and yellow lights from the pillar will be green and will power up the Pandora Statue.
Now, you can go to the Pandora Statue to get your much earned reward. The golden orb will be waiting for you, and you can walk over it to finish the Pandora Star Puzzle.
Quite a difficult puzzle but we go there!
That’s all you need to do to solve the Pandora Star Puzzle in the Lost Marshes. Quite a few steps to the puzzle, but the main principle is simply to direct and then redirect light towards the Pandara Star Monument. There is certainly some deep meaning to this puzzle. However, that meaning is lost on us. Maybe you will have some better luck with it!
