Walkthrough | The fort in The Witness The Witness Guide
Last update: 06 March 2019
This chapter is dedicated to the Fort, one of the locations in The Witness. Here, you can find a general description of this region as well as locations of the puzzles. Check Puzzle solutions if you want to know how to solve them.
All of the puzzles in this location require you to draw a line between the starting and the finishing point. The start is marked with a big circle, whereas the finish is marked with a slightly curved line. In the majority of cases, the way between both points is perfectly visible.
After you solve each of the puzzles, the cable attached to the puzzle lights up in yellow. Follow the cable to the next panel. There, solve the puzzle and go for the next one. Continue doing that, until you have unlocked the entire gate-side panel. Using the panel next to the main gate, deactivate the barrier. It is unimportant how you guide the line, the barrier will be disabled anyway.
At this stage, there are three obstacles. First of all, on some of the panels, there are path blockades that form a simple labyrinth. None of them are difficult to solve and they only require you to find the right path. Secondly, one of the panels has two starting points. Only one of them is right and lets you solve the puzzle. Using the other one you will always run into a dead end.
Thirdly, one of the panels has two cables and therefore, two finishing points. To leave the fort, you need to guide the line to the bottom one.
If you do not know where to go, find out where the gate-side panel cables lead.
