World 2 | All Stars The Talos Principle Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Star 1
After you have completed Static Vexer, you can collect another Star. However, you first need to solve the Crater puzzle (or at least a part of it, to have the connector with the red beam floating in the air). First off, carry the two jammers over to the end of the puzzle (unlock each passage, one after another, walk through and maintain it with the other jammer at the other side).
Now, direct the beam from the connector in the center, up in the air (as seen from the direction of the crater), through a connector and use another connector to direct it towards the button in the side corridor that has been left open after you have completed the puzzle. Now, go to the end of the puzzle and use jammers to deactivate two metal balls.
Star 2
You find another star in Cube Driver. Just like in the puzzle, use the ball to transport one of the connectors and a cube, over to the other side of the barrier.
Pick up the cube and climb onto the ruins in the corner, next to the wall, to the highest possible point - there is a small recess there, into which the cube fits perfectly.
Collect the connector and climb the ruins again. Jump off the cube to make it over the second wall fragment. From there, you will be able to connect the blue source with the fan button that takes you to the star. Simply, jump off the wall and land near it.
Star 3
The third Star becomes available after you have completed Crater. It is best to try for the fourth star also, at the same time, because it requires you to take exactly same steps. And several other. First of all, follow the walkthrough to solve the puzzle. Then, you need to two connectors from the first area, over to the other side (where there is the blue source), Do the same with the connector on the cube (the one up in the air). To do this, you need redirect the blue beam (the connector of the source and two connectors at the other side that power the fan).
As soon as you are at the other side, using connectors, you can easily redirect the two beams from the buttons, where there is the Star. You need to use two connectors to power the blue button and three more (one by the red source) to power the red button.
The red beam needs to travel across the inside, which prevents it from coinciding with the blue one. Under the star, there also is a fan that you need to mount at this side, and which is required for you to collect star 4.
Star 4
To collect star 4, take the same steps as in the case of star 3. It is best to do both of the stars simultaneously. Right after you have collected star 3, collect the fan and mount it.
Then, use the connectors to redirect the red beam to the red button in the middle, to have the cube float in the air.
Now, jump over to the first area- you need to collect the cube in mid-air.
Now, with the red fan being powered, you need to power the blue one also. To do this, you need the cube - place it near the low fence. Take one of the connectors and jump up with, off the cube.
Place it on the podium, between the two areas (where initially the jammer used to stand). You will use it to redirect the blue beam - couple the connector with the connector on the blue source, the button on the barrier, in the first area, and the connector powering the fan (if you run out of connectors, bring one from the second area, where you need 3 of them).
You should now have two active fans. As the cube is in the first area, you need to do the following: place it onto the fan and, as soon as you notice that it is coming back, jump onto the fan by jumping off the red fan. As soon as you collide with the cube, you will drop down and you will be able to collect the star in the center of the crater.
