The brain puzzle can be found in the southeast corner of the Mind Flayer Colony. It is located beyond the Necrotic Laboratory area, requiring players to make two jumps in order to reach it.

To activate the puzzle, players simply need to approach the console near the circular chasm and agree to begin manipulating a captive mind. This will cause several transparent nodes to appear in front, connecting themselves to the speaker's head. If the speaker moves away from the console, the puzzle will deactivate, but interacting with the node will reactivate it. The game follows the following rules:

The objective of this game is to link the player's Memory, Emotion, Speech, and Reason nodes with corresponding nodes on the opposite end of the field.

In order to establish these connections, players are required to construct a pathway of generic nodes that connect both mental regions on each side.

A generic node can only be connected to a single brain region at any given time, thereby prohibiting any overlap or intersection among the four paths.

Reason and Emotion occupy the top and bottom positions on opposite ends of the field, while Speech and Memory undergo a switch in their respective sides.

To establish a pathway, players should first select a mental node located on the player side, and subsequently choose a connected node. The selected node will undergo a color change, signifying its status as the active node. By repeating this process of selecting connected nodes, players can extend their pathway. If necessary, players have the option to remove a pathway by selecting the previous node in the chain and interacting with the main node to reset the puzzle.

For a comprehensive solution to the puzzle, players are encouraged to watch the video provided above. However, if players prefer to solve the puzzle independently, a helpful tip is to commence from the distant end and progress backwards.
