The Talos Principle 2: Grasslands Ring Puzzle 3 - Castling Guide

The Talos Principle 2 shares many similarities with its predecessor, including its combination of mind-bending puzzles and mind-bending philosophy. The game also maintains a consistent increase in difficulty as players progress. This becomes apparent early on in Grasslands Ring, where a new puzzle mechanic - RGB conversion - is introduced and further complicated with each level.

One specific example of this is the third puzzle in Grasslands Ring called Castling. Only three puzzles into the introduction of RGB Shifting, players are required to intricately coordinate multiple colors using two strategically placed RGB Converters. These converters must avoid intersecting lights and produce a red glow despite the absence of a blue Light Generator, which was previously necessary for creating red.

The initial obstacle with Castling arises prior to players' arrival on the scene, as it is situated quite a distance away from the first two puzzles. However, players can take solace in the fact that a series of arrows on signs dispersed throughout Grasslands Ring will steer them towards the designated location.

How to Solve Castling (Grasslands Ring Puzzle 3)

Blue + Green = Red

Red + Green = Blue

Blue + Red = Green

Start by retrieving the available RGB Converter. Choose the blue Light Receiver, as well as the green and red Light Generators. Even though the Energy Gate connected to the green Light Receiver is currently closed, the connections will still be established when players place the RGB Converter on the red Pressure Plate. Now that the Energy Gate linked to the blue Light Receiver has opened, proceed inside and obtain the remaining RBG Converter. Position it outside the Energy Gate.

Afterward, take the RGB Converter on the Pressure Plate and opt for the green and red Light Generators to change its color to blue. Position it a few steps ahead, closer to the entrance.

To progress, acquire the additional RGB Converter and choose the green Light Receiver, the current blue RGB Converter, and the red Light Receiver at the exit gate. Then, position the RGB Converter on the pressure plate, causing the Energy Gate to unlock. Proceed through the Energy Gate and complete the level by utilizing the Progress Wheel.

The Talos Principle 2, which launched on November 2nd, 2023, can be played on PC, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
