Honestly, this is one of the best campaign I've ever completed, especially for the story line. Poor Uriel_Copy you will never be forgotten :(
By the way, the world 1 has the best scenery I've ever seen in any campaigns. REALLY GREAT JOB!!!
The stars are one of the best designs in the whole process. The virus in world 1 really astonished me.
However, in my opinion, it will be even better if there is one way to get back the deleted access key though.

Something is wrong with 'Traffic Lights' . I even tried to replicate the solution from the intended solution vid step by step. But it isn't working. The second sreen stays closed. I even removed all mods incl. TTP and all it's folders and tried different Beta's. No matter what the second screen stays closed. Very annoying. Is there a way around?

Finally finished this after a really long time since first starting it. Most of the puzzles were enjoyable, but I find some design choices frustrating:

Signal Disruptor: Fan pushing connector is a good idea, but inconsistent.
World A roof star: How the heck was I supposed to spot a random fan deep in the water?
Sandbox: Did not enjoy dying unexpectedly while experimenting around.
Hall of death: Blue source isn't clearly visible unless you're right next to it. Got the star first with the connectors from the outside and then got stumped because I haven't seen source when exploring the hall, it all looked like a normal wall.
Star puzzles: Accidentally cheesed all of them, a lot shorter than what was intended.
Make connections: Didn't even get to play it because of some wrong choice I've made early on. Shame to lock player out of a satisfying ending sequence like that.

ohh right thanks

You can't change sprint speed, however, you can change walk speed in the game settings and also change fov, which will give you an illusion of speed. You could also bind fast forward key, to allow you to speed up in-game time.

Harry Poster how do you run super fast in talos?

Advice for those attempting this map: do NOT delete your access keys. As far as I can tell it locks you out of some puzzles and I don't see a way to regain them...

Honestly I'm completely irritated by these puzzles and the next world has three recorder puzzles. I tried the bridge one. I know how to solve the first part, but it took me about 20 tries to actually perform it. The second part isn't clear how to solve it, and if I make any mistake, I'm thrown back to the start of the puzzle.

Sorry, but I don't think I want to play this anymore....

Just finished world 2. Co-works and Sandbox were the only puzzles I solved the intended way.

Marsshot: I jumped on the wall strait to the terminal.
By the way: I jammed a wall, put the tower on a cube shot the laser through a window, instead of all three gates.
Promotion: I put the platform on a button, then put a cube on top of the platform. That way when I moved the platform, I'd have a cube that was off center and not blocking the laser. I then got the keys, stuck the tower on top the cube, and took the cube and jammer to the fan, using fan removal to turn it on and off. I actually like my solution better.
Query: I used the forcefield to turn one laser off when the other turns on. Actually didn't need one of the laser towers.

There is a simple Solution for Traffic Light. U will only need one Jammer and One Connector
Harry Poster  [author] 24 Aug, 2022 @ 7:41am 
Had the same report on the 'Enhanced environment' page just now. Most likely, since you run moddable version Talos allows mods to overwrite original assets, some other modification must've caused it.
StormyFae 11 Jul, 2022 @ 6:36pm 
Just started and accidentally loaded the moddable version of Talos Principle. I had camera view from over shoulder and my character looked like something Picasso drew! My arms were offset and my neck was elongated and off to the side. It was quite jarring. LOL! When I play the regular version all is right again. :)

Thank goodness for the alternate solutions (found by players below) for Signal Disruptor, because there is no way to guarantee exactly where the fan will blow the connector to. Fans are not meant to push connectors in Talos, and this is why.
Harry Poster  [author] 15 Dec, 2021 @ 1:40am 
You were turning around too slow, unfortunately. You might just open the barrier straight away, go to the fan and wait for the turret to start shooting then just enter the stream.
PrologicMind 15 Dec, 2021 @ 1:09am 
Why did turrel kill me, although I did it all according to your solution https://youtu.be/W1k06YRVWOk
Harry Poster  [author] 13 Nov, 2021 @ 6:30pm 
You can configure 'Zoom' key to make it easier. By default it should be middle mouse click.

Look for buoy on the water surface, and then follow it.

hard core puzzles

Sure, your map - your vision. There is no any kind of accusations in my comment. Just for me, alt solutions are fun and interesting then they exist within the borders of a puzzle itself (like in the first parts of my videos). But when you reach something (except stars) with objects "outside the box" this is more like abuse to me, cause such solutions belittle mapper efforts of making challenging levels. This is only my opinion. Thank you.
Harry Poster  [author] 15 Sep, 2020 @ 5:27pm 
Im not crazy about about alt solutions like some people, if player wants to, why should I stop him? Im not going to add 50 meters tall barriers everywhere just to stop you. Creativity is always good.

World 1 https://youtu.be/pvhviGTnlC4
Part 1. Another alternative solution for 'Signal disruptor' (without switch and fan)
Part 2. Another alternative solution for 'Traffic lights' (without 1 fan and 3rd jammer)
Part 3. Alternative solution for 'One switch to rule them all' (you already knew it, but this one is better optimised and without connector). Plus, with addition of jammer abuse after.

World 2 https://youtu.be/Ap9F8nOuwuY
Part 1. Alternative solution for 'By the way' (more simple + without a box)
Part 2. Alternative solution for 'Query' (only with 4 connectors)
Part 3. Showing items abuse.

World 3 https://youtu.be/zwJW8s-beC8
Part 1. Alternative solution for 'Royal guards' (more simple + without boxes)
Part 2. Alternative solution for 'Hall of death' (more complicated but why not?:))
Part 3. Alternative exploited solution of 'Crossing parallel'
Part 4. Showing the jammer abuses related to 'Bridge collapse' puzzle.
自鳴琴 15 Sep, 2020 @ 1:25pm 
I passed this. Thank you for the campaign, it was really nice. Most of puzzles are interesting and challenging. You surprised me by some new mechanics which i haven't seen before (like in 'Bridge collapse', 'Sand Box' and 'Hall of death'). The visual design of locations is also pretty.
The only one minus is the lack of protection for some levels. One can cheat the entire world 2 and 3 with defoult jumps only and without any speedrun tricks (i'll show you how). I recorded some videos with alternative solutions and exploits.

Subscribing is for latest version. To play legacy check link in the description.
rpccprrpc 12 Sep, 2020 @ 3:46am 
is it running on the latest version or is legacy 2017 gentle?
Harry Poster  [author] 24 Aug, 2020 @ 4:06pm 
You cant turn fog off directly, you may try going to color options and decrease saturation or brigtness.
Harry Poster  [author] 11 Aug, 2020 @ 4:09am 
Fun fact: virus wasn't supposed to mess with terminals, just kill you. But it was bugged in a such way, that it interrupted other sessions too which I found cool, but still, I had to cut little of its power. More spoilers ........ it has it's own ending
Harry Poster  [author] 11 Aug, 2020 @ 4:05am 
Yeah, virus is dangerous. :)
Lee 11 Aug, 2020 @ 3:55am 
No way, I'm fucking idiot. This is genius, bro. I've missed options of terminal in hub. 11/10, best mod.
Lee 11 Aug, 2020 @ 3:49am 
These are .txt, .html and etc. When you pick one, in some cases you can't see other choices, it exists instantly or shows only "Exit" button. For instance, which is option for "DON'T OPEN IT'S VIRUS", lmao, good and unexpected one, but I've pressed it earlier than read other notes, so, now I can't access to terminal at all.
Harry Poster  [author] 11 Aug, 2020 @ 3:37am 
Thank you. What exactly you mean by other notes?
Lee 11 Aug, 2020 @ 3:13am 
This is awesome. It gives me the same vibes as original story. I wanna get more of it!
The one con I'd notice is that there're no possibilities to read other notes in terminals, the only solution to replay all puzzles again.
Britjake 7 Aug, 2020 @ 4:08pm 
Great puzzles, although it would be nice if there were less red herrings as they're just annoying.
ubik 31 Jul, 2020 @ 8:55am 
Good and difficult puzzles. I try to get the star in the Marsshot puzzle, but every time I jump (from the box) I can't reach the star ! I used the intended solutions so I think I did what I'm supposed to do. Is there a special spot to be or a trick or something ?
XanTi͢͢͢er꧂ 27 Jul, 2020 @ 9:41am 
Very good. I had fun playing.
darkgreenblue 23 Jul, 2020 @ 2:30pm 
Just began Outfall, looked around in each world a bit; I am impressed by your beautiful designs quite different from the main game or other custom maps. The farm landscapes and buildings look superb. Aesthetics hugely enhances the puzzling experience for me. Can't wait to play!
Cube 17 Jul, 2020 @ 12:11pm 
Fantastic puzzles, a well done (albeit very challenging) map! Had a blast man, thanks for your workshop contribution! <3
Calwin 16 Jul, 2020 @ 7:11am 
Hi, I updated to modern version instead. Beautiful map. The puzzles seems hard. Hopefully I will figure them out eventually. Thanks for making the map and responding to comments.
Harry Poster  [author] 15 Jul, 2020 @ 6:30pm 
This level is for current, download this one instead https://drive.google.com/open?id=1w6kXFjTpLUxHc9kzE06evlhA-d6IJm-K Put it in root folder. ("...Steam\steamapps\common\The Talos Principle\Content\Talos")

Under properties (right clicking the game title on the left on steam) under betas I have 'previous version' selected.
Harry Poster  [author] 14 Jul, 2020 @ 6:29pm 
What game version are you playing on?
Calwin 14 Jul, 2020 @ 2:54pm 
Subscribed, but it doesn't appear on the list of playable maps. Same thing with many other maps I subscribe to. Is the list of finite size? Do u have to unsubscribe from others for more to appear? Very weird.

Some of these are really hard. Until the last star I didn't know, you could get access codes to the closed levels. I found a different way into every one of them instead : D
MrYzsd 16 May, 2020 @ 5:10pm 
1st world is passed, just cool! well done!
p.s. I passed all levels in different way what in your video )))
Rusty 7 May, 2020 @ 12:55pm 
To clarify, when I said using the platform the second time, I meant the one you carry during a recording.
Rusty 7 May, 2020 @ 12:53pm 
@al_oxy Not sure if you still need help with co-works but I just found the solution after having trouble with co-works as well. I can't post a full solution due to message length limits however, here's the basics (with spoiler tags).

It takes a couple of recorder sessions.

You need to first get the jammer to block the third force field.

If the issue after that is getting onto the platform because you seem to need all four fields down that the switch controls, it's possible to get past the first two (i.e., the ones at the door) even if they're raised using the platform. Think of ways your recorded self might be able to pass through them when your active self cannot


I hoped that helped and apologies if posting even a partial solution even with spoiler tags is wrong.

I hate apples! :cozyjunimogreen: :steammocking: lol
Harry Poster  [author] 19 Apr, 2020 @ 7:50am 
Hah, these are not intended indeed. Funny that I tried this TL solution myself and it didn't work.
Mauritsio 19 Apr, 2020 @ 2:19am 
Played the first world of this and I'm liking it so far. I enjoy that the difficulty is pretty much on par with RtG.

I did discover two solutions for Traffic Lights and Signal Disruptor which I assume aren't intentional. I was able to beat the first with only half the puzzle elements and cheese my way through the second. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BvZBn5lh9o
