Purple fuse

The Security Office, Vault and laser boxes take purple fuses.

What it is for

Puzzle page: Thieves of Time · Solution

Where the walkthrough uses it

  1. 5-3 Thieves of Time· step 2both players

    Fill the fuse boxes in order. Three are filled in the construction era and read in the present; the two laser boxes are both in the present.

Where to find it

  • Construction: the fuse boxes there take 7 orange, 3 purple. The maze holds 4 green, 15 orange, 7 purple.
  • Present: the fuse boxes there take 4 green, 4 orange, 4 purple. The maze holds 4 green, 5 orange, 8 purple.

No item spot is random: the game files place every item in the same spot in every game. Some items exist several times at once, such as the fuses in the Time Maze. From the game files: the area is loaded at these checkpoints. A door on the way can still be locked at some of them.
