Level 14 - Slider Puzzle and Symbol Dials
Level 14
Video Walkthrough
Objective
Open the vault by collecting items, solving the slider puzzle to get the lever, matching symbols from balls to dials, and using the key handle and unlocker rod in the correct slots.
Step-by-Step Solution
- Turn to the back of the safe and look at the top
- Lift the narrow flap at the top to collect a Key Handle
- Look at the lower left of the back to find a red Cog
- Collect the red Cog from the lower left
- Turn to the right side of the safe
- Look for a small panel and add the red Cog to it
- Collect another red Cog from the panel and add both cogs to complete the panel
- Collect the Stop Button from the opened panel
- On the right side, look for a rod and a curved wire
- Carefully slide the rod along the curved wire from left to right without touching the wire
- Collect the Unlocker Rod after successfully sliding it
- Turn to the left side of the safe
- Look for a panel with three channels and three white sliders
- Place the Stop Button in the center below the three sliders
- The top slider will begin moving left and right automatically
- Watch the slider carefully and press the Stop Button when the slider is positioned under the wire hoop
- Once the first slider is stopped correctly, the next slider will start moving
- Press the Stop Button again when the second slider is under the wire hoop
- Press the Stop Button when the third slider is under the wire hoop
- Once all three sliders are positioned correctly under the wire hoops, collect the Lever
- Turn to the back of the safe and look at the right side
- Place the Lever on the right side mechanism
- Pull both levers down (the original lever and the newly placed lever)
- This releases five balls on the left side, each with a symbol on it
- Note the symbols on each ball and the order they appear
- Turn to the front of the safe and look at the top center
- Find the five dials at the top center that can be set to show symbols
- Set each dial to match the symbols from the five balls in the exact order they appeared
- Once all five dials are set correctly, a cover opens at the top to reveal a slot
- Place the Key Handle in the revealed slot at the top
- Look at the bottom center of the front to find another slot
- Place the Unlocker Rod in the slot at the bottom center
- The vault opens and you can collect the Medical Box artifact to complete Level 14
💡 Tips & Tricks
- For the Unlocker Rod, slide very carefully along the curved wire - if you touch the wire, you'll need to start over
- The slider puzzle requires precise timing - watch each slider carefully before pressing the stop button
- If you make a mistake in the slider puzzle, you must start over from the beginning
- Pay close attention to the order of the five balls and their symbols - the order matters for the dials
- The symbols on the dials must match the symbols from the balls in the exact order they appeared
- Make sure to collect all items (Key Handle, Unlocker Rod, Stop Button, Lever) before attempting to use them
- Both levers must be pulled down to release the five balls
- The Key Handle and Unlocker Rod must be placed in the correct slots after the dials are set
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Touching the curved wire when sliding the rod - this requires a steady hand and careful movement
- Not collecting both red cogs before trying to get the Stop Button
- Pressing the Stop Button too early or too late in the slider puzzle - timing is crucial
- Not watching the sliders carefully enough to see when they're under the wire hoop
- Making a mistake in the slider puzzle and having to start over
- Not noting the order of the five balls and their symbols
- Setting the dials in wrong order - they must match the order the balls appeared
- Setting the dials to wrong symbols - each dial must match its corresponding ball's symbol
- Forgetting to pull both levers down to release the five balls
- Placing the Key Handle or Unlocker Rod before setting the dials correctly
- Not placing both the Key Handle and Unlocker Rod in their respective slots
Additional Notes
Level 14 introduces timing-based puzzles, symbol sequence matching, and precise item placement that requires careful observation and coordination.
