Professor Portmatt’s lab. I’m not a math genius and i’m not good at codes. I really wanna get the achievement for this one, so if anyone would be so kind as to explain to me (in a book for dummies kind of way) how this works I would forever be grateful. I’ve really tried for hours. I wouldn’t ask for it if I wasn’t totally stumped. Thanks to anyone who lets me know this. (Please don’t post it here, send me a message to avoid spoilers for those who don’t want any.)
Oh, I’m as far as entering the codes. Also, I’ve tried the wiki. Still not getting it.

I’m not getting this too. I made that “puzzle” only with youtube help.
I couldn’t find another way to discover that sequence!
I tried for hours… and no tips, no evidence, nothing.

assuming you dont want to just use the wiki link and want some hints.

there’s a set sequence of numbers you have to input (they’re co-ordinates for the teleporter)

There’s a couple of recording devices in the area that have portmatt saying the start of the co-ordinates (IIRC one of them is him going “45.23- who left this thing on!?” or something similar to that)

Break one of the lanterns nearby, the drone will swim over to repair it. Then on the left console you have 3 screens (top middle bottom) each screen has 2 options on it, these change the co-ordinates, you have to fiddle with them to get the right ones.

We do have spoiler tags you know.


There aren’t that many combinations so if you just write down those that you tried and skip them the next time you should complete it eventually. That’s more or less how I did it.

You are told what the values should be (it’s on the recorder inside the forcefield) but as far as I am aware you are only told two out of three so you have to try several combinations anyway.

While we’re at it the breaking mechanism could be constructed better. If I am to “take a while to consider the consequences” the logical thing to do is to stop talking to that device.

And I should also point out the name of the thread should inform other people what the thread is about
