A clouded mirror Atomic Heart - the main story mission in which you have to fix the mechanism of the mirrors and get inside the Exhibition. To successfully complete the quest, you will have to solve four puzzles with circles and lasers in succession.
In this guide, we will tell you in detail how to solve all the riddles with circles and electromagnetic assemblies without any problems. Read on to find out how to complete the quest and what to do if you encounter a bug in the Clouded Mirror quest in Atomic Heart.
How to start the Clouded Mirror quest
The quest A Clouded Mirror will begin when you get to the Exhibition and complete the quest "What does the future prepare for us?».
Walkthrough of the Clouded Mirror in Atomic Heart
After descending the long stairs, P-3 will find that the door is locked. To repair the mirrors, you have to solve four puzzles with circles and lasers in succession. Then it remains only to go to the surface and get to the Exhibition.
Find a way to get inside
HRAZ will tell you that you need to solve the puzzle with mirrors in order to go further:
- First, go to the installation, which is located to the right of the door. Stand behind her, then act with a glove and pull the figure back as if you are going to shoot her like a slingshot. This action will raise one piece of mirrors.
- After that, try to repeat the action with the opposite setting.
- To get inside and deal with the problem that has arisen, you will have to go down to the basemyont.
A detailed algorithm of actions is presented in the screenshot.
Fix the mirror mechanism
In the basemyont, HRAZ will report that a magnetic damping system is located here, so all rooms are filled with movable assemblies of electromagnets. And this means that:
- Movable electromagnet assemblies can be affected by the ability Shock.
- In the area of strong magnetic fields, skill Shocker recovers faster.
Upon entering the first room near the wall, you will find save machine.
act shock on a large section of magnets under the ceiling near the door, which is located high above the ground. After that, climb up the steps that have risen from the floor.
In the next room, use Shock to the ceiling, then jump sequentially to two structures in front of you, as shown in the screenshots.
Then use the ability again Shock on the magnets under the ceiling and jump to the blue platform in front of you. Next, you will have to perform a sequence of actions and go to the following room:
- Jump to the nearest white platform on the right.
- Jump over to the platform in the corner.
- act shock to the ceiling.
- Jump to the door.
The detailed algorithm is shown in the screenshot.
The way ahead is blocked by a closed door. open up piston lock. In the next room, meet the first puzzle with circles on the floor.
How to solve the first circle puzzle
The first puzzle with circles on the floor is solved as follows:
- It is necessary to move the extreme cell with a green beam to the center.
- Next, move the green beam from the center to the opposite side, relative to its original position.
If everything is done correctly, then the door will open, where you should go to repair the mirror mechanism.
In the next room, you will again have to go through the electromagnetic assemblies:
- Drop down to the floor and stand on the red platform shown in the screenshot.
- act shock on the ceiling, then move to the gray surface and again use Shock.
- Push off the gray wall that rose when the structures moved, then jump over to the puzzle with circles.
- To activate the circles, you must first get to the door so that P-3 realizes that it is closed.
The path from the puzzle to the closed door is shown below.
Jump down to the red platform, which is located lower in level and closer to the center of the room. After that, you need to do the following:
- Use the Shock ability on the ceiling and move to the blue platform towards the door.
- With the help of Shock, change the arrangement of structures and go to the red platform in front.
- From it it will be possible to get to the closed door.
The algorithm is shown in the screenshot. After that, return to the puzzle.
How to solve the second circle puzzle
To fix the mirror mechanism and go further, you will have to solve this riddle:
- Deploy the green laser first with the top right circle.
- Then repeat the action, but with the bottom circle.
After that, you can proceed to the open door, guided by the same algorithm for the route.
In the next room, follow the algorithm of actions:
- Jump to the nearest blue platform.
- Next, work on the ceiling shockuntil you can jump over to another blue platform on the right.
- Then reach the adjacent narrow ledge.
- Move to the gray platform in the center, on which the mannequin sits.
After that use twice Shock on magnets.
Turn right and go to the blue platform, then jump to the gray surface next to the wall.
Then proceed according to the following algorithm:
- Jump to the nearest long blue platform.
- Application shock and transition to a gray surface.
- Ability Shock to the ceiling, after which the transition to another blue platform.
- Go to the red surface and exit to the door.
This way you will get into the corridor with another puzzle.
How to solve the third circle puzzle
This procedure will help to cope with the third riddle and get one step closer to repairing the mirror mechanism:
- Turn the last circle in the first row.
- Next, turn the penultimate circle in the first row.
- It remains to turn the second circle in the second row.
After that, the door will open and you can go further.
In this room, act on the ceiling magnets shockuntil you can climb onto the nearest blue platform near the floor, as shown in the screenshot below. Then again use Shockuntil you jump to the nearest blue platform in the air.
Now act like this:
- Jump to the gray left platform as indicated in the screenshot.
- Using shock on the ceiling and jump to the adjacent gray surface.
- Jump to the narrow strip next to the wall.
Then use the ability again. Shock on magnets.
It remains to reach the door:
- Go to the blue area.
- Carefully step onto the blue narrow strip that leads to the door.
- Use the ability Shock on magnets, after which you can go through the door.
The next room will have a chest that can drop weapon blueprint: "Cartridges for Kalash».
How to solve 4 circle puzzle
To solve the last puzzle with lasers, there is an algorithm of actions:
- Stand as shown in the screenshot, then rotate the second circle in the top row.
- Turn the second circle in the second row.
- It remains to turn the third circle in the top row and the door will open.
Now you can start repairing the mirror mechanism.
Return to the surface and enter the Exhibition
Following the quest mark, you will enter a small room, after which you will take the elevator up to the surface along with a complex of mirrors. After that, the doors will open and all that remains is to enter the complex. Next tasks:Hands off" and "Made in USSR».
Bug in the task Cloudy Mirror - how to solve
There is a bug after solving the last puzzle with circles: when jumping onto the elevator with a mirror, Major P-3 falls under the textures. The solution is simple: just carefully jump down onto the metal fence, which goes around a circular platform right next to the wall.
You can land on the fence both on the left and on the right side, and after lifting, calmly go outside.
