Elemental TransferG-46C symbol panels

The same in every game: the solution below always works.

Also called: G-46C · G-46 · 15-button puzzle · symbol panel · generator

What you see

Elemental Transfer brings power back to the Temporal Research Centre. It has four steps: a row of chains at the entry to the main hall, a symbol screen in the backup generator room, the 15-button symbol panel in the split rooms, and the generator. Every answer below is fixed.

Hook-only steps are for the player holding the Hook Gun, goop steps for the player holding the Goop Gun. For the other steps the files do not say who does what.

Part 1: the chains

Six hook-only chains hang at the entry to the main hall. The game files name them A to F. One chain opens a large ventilation hatch about 2 seconds after you pull it. The other five set off the alarm.

We did not find the clue that points to the right chain in the game files.

Show hint

Only one chain is right. Pulling a wrong one sets off the alarm.

  1. ChainE

The Hook Gun player pulls chain E all the way and holds it. The hatch opens.

Part 2: two handles and goop

A side lever powers this screen. Two handles (five positions each, values 0 to 4) and three goop triggers each light symbols on a shared screen. A second screen shows the target picture: three symbols. Light exactly those three.

  • circle dots horizontalgooped

Target picture

  • circle horizontal line
  • circle line intersect
  • forked v

Values are the handle values in the game files, 0 to 4. We have not confirmed how the five positions are marked in the room, so check the symbols on the screen.

Show hint

Only handle A can light the target's circle with a vertical line. Set that first, then find the handle B value that lights the circle with a horizontal line.

Show the answerSpoiler
  1. Handle A3 circle line intersect
  2. Handle B3 circle horizontal line
  3. Goop triggerforked v

Set both handles to value 3 and goop only the trigger that lights the forked V. The other two goop triggers stay clean.

Handle A at 3 lights the circle with a vertical line, handle B at 3 lights the circle with a horizontal line, and that one goop trigger lights the forked V. Those are the three target symbols.

The goop is the Goop Gun player's job. Who sets the handles is not in the files.

Part 3: the 15-button panel

Fifteen buttons sit in three rows of five, each under a screen with one symbol. A pressure plate powers the panel.

A shared screen shows the symbol of each button you press. The check runs as soon as four buttons are pressed. A wrong set fails and the panel resets.

  2. arms upB

  4. circle line upD
  5. circle line downE
  6. forked vF

  13. low circle line upM
  14. circles overlap verticalN
  15. circle triangle overlapO
The panel as the game files lay it out. Rows count from the top, symbols from the left.

Three rule screens stand near the panel. Screen C changes while the side lever in the split rooms is on (not the part 2 lever):

  • Rule screen A
  • Rule screen B
  • Rule screen C · lever off
  • Rule screen C · lever on

The target picture in the game files holds the four answer symbols plus the circle with two dots beside it, which screen C shows while the side lever is on. The panel check itself only compares the four buttons.

Show hint

Four buttons are right: two in the top row, one in the middle row and one in the bottom row.

Show the answerSpoiler

Press these four buttons:

  1. forked uC row 1, symbol 3
  2. circle line upD row 1, symbol 4
  3. circle line intersectG row 2, symbol 2
  4. low circle line upM row 3, symbol 3

The order likely does not matter: the check reads like a set of buttons, not a sequence.

On the panel, call buttons by row and place: “top row, third and fourth; middle row, second; bottom row, third”.

Part 4: the generator

The Goop Gun player goops the energy trigger in the split rooms to power the generator. Then both players pull the two-person chain all the way and hold it.

The game's prompt here reads “Restart Generator”.

When the power is back, both players step into the exit elevator.

Common mistakes

  • Pressing more buttons to “fix” a wrong one: the check already ran at the fourth press. Let the panel reset and press C, D, G and M.
  • Mixing up D and M. They show the same diamond: high on the screen for D (top row), low for M (bottom row).
  • Handle B at 0 lights two symbols that are also on the part 3 panel. Neither is in the part 2 target.
  • Gooping all three triggers in part 2. Only one goop trigger belongs to the answer.
