Lab puzzles not working. 1566340208

Repeated attempts at variants of this puzzle failed to work.

Either one of the floor tiles fails to activate, or the path fails to open the door even though spikes are never triggered.

Pattern: Fire, lightning, ice

First puzzle - path is not available. Progress through the first pattern is successful, fifth row does not have a lightning square attached to a fire square. Using a teleport/jump to the nearest available lightning square does nothing - no activation of the plate. Moving to the adjacent ice square does nothing - no activation, no spikes.

Second run through - only connecting squares are 45 degree (at the corner). Moving to adjacent square at an angle does nothing. No activation of panel, no spikes.

Third run through - fifth row does not activate whatsoever, on a correct panel or incorrect panel.

Moving back to the beginning of the zone activates spikes.

Merc lab, room 1 (Estate Path)

Got a screenshot? Your description sounds like you might not know how the puzzles work. In the first one you only are looking at the fifth row for the next square in the sequence. Did you look at the 3rd row for it?

Got screenshots, but CBA to find some third party site to upload them to.

I'm familiar with how this particular puzzle works.

When you enter the room you are shown three squares - from the furthest from the door you follow the pattern inward. In this case, from furthest to closest: Fire, lightning, ice.

The first three rows had a navigable pattern at right angles; fire, lightning, ice. Fourth row was fire. Fifth row, in instance one: had lightning in the 5th row but no direct path to it - either pass over fire or ice to reach it. Or use a tp/jump skill. It failed to activate in that case. Second puzzle had the lightning at a 45 degree angle from the fire. Stepping that way did not activate it, nor activated the spikes. Third instance the entire fifth row did nothing, regardless of the plate being stepped to.

your likely just doing it wrong, if you could post a screenshot we could possibly help you finish it.

This puzzle requires you to follow the sequence, but not just in one direction - sometimes you have to go sideways and backwards, not just forwards.
