Chapter 1 Walkthrough
1. Starting Out
- Press the green button until the screen vanishes, and you’re ready to explore!
2. Finding the Metal Stick
- Look to the left and pick up the metal stick from the floor. Then, go back and double-tap the sparkling white area near the large sphere.
3. Using the Metal Stick
- Use the metal stick to open the lid and retrieve the round box inside.
4. Command Control Center
- Zoom in on the control center in the room’s middle, and look at the side. Find the glowing mechanism and drag the metal bar down. Then, pull the glowing white line at the top to the right.
5. Bottom Wheel Puzzle
- Locate the vertical metal part on the bottom wheel and drag it up into the top wheel. Rotate the bottom wheel until the empty space faces down, then collect the strange disc.
6. Resetting the Wheels
- Restore the bottom wheel to its original position, pull the metal bar down, and rotate the top wheel until the empty spot aligns with the glowing bar. Take the energy rod.
7. Finding a Clue
- Zoom in at the top of the command center and pick up a piece of paper. It adds to the storyline, so give it a quick read.
8. Cleaning the Control Panel
- Zoom in on the other side of the control panel, and use the air duster on the dirty, stuck metal bar.
9. Activating the Mechanism
- Pull the metal bar down again and the glowing bar to the right. Bring the two sides of the button together and open the box—now, you’re ready for a more complex puzzle!
10. Solving the Round Box Puzzle
- Tap the round box to zoom in, and slide the lid to open it. Take the crystal and place it on the right side to activate the box. Rotate each ring to align with the burn marks on the lid.
11. The Energy Flow Puzzle
- Turn the blue handle fully to the left to reveal a scroll showing the energy flow needed to unlock the door. There’s a minor issue to solve first, though.
12. Solving the Cogwheel Puzzle
- Tap the cogwheels in the following sequence:
- Left Large Cogwheel
- Right Large Cogwheel
- Left Large Cogwheel (twice)
- Right Large Cogwheel
13. Replacing the Energy Rod
- Go to the electrical panel, swipe the dials to the left while holding the energy rod. Remove the old rod and place the new one from your inventory. Use the air duster to clean the circuit board.
14. Solving the Electrical Puzzle
- Ensure a continuous flow of electricity on both sides. Arrange the pieces so they resemble this solution: the top rectangle should go all the way to the right, and the diamond shape should be placed just below it.
15. Aligning the Wheel Puzzle
- Rotate each segment until there’s a direct path from top to bottom. Once aligned, the puzzle will complete, allowing you to proceed.
16. Unlocking the Door
- Zoom into the door’s lock, place the round item from your inventory on top, and rotate it to the right until all its lights are aligned.
17. Finishing the Chapter
- Zoom in on your key, shape its head into a cross/diamond pattern, then rotate it to open the door and complete Chapter 1.
With these steps, you’re all set to complete Chapter 1 and ready for more adventures ahead in Machinika: Atlas!
