Level 38 - Wires Puzzle, Disk Path, and Mask Code

Level 38

Video Walkthrough

Objective

Unlock the vault by collecting wires and paper clue, solving the wires puzzle to get a battery, navigating a disk through rotating circles to get a mask, entering a four-digit code using letter clues, and adding the mask and batteries to the front face.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Turn to the left side of the safe and look at a panel towards the top
  2. Open the panel on the left side near the top
  3. Collect the Paper Clue and some Wires from the opened panel
  4. Look at a panel lower down on the left side
  5. Add the Wires to the panel lower down on the left side
  6. Examine the wires puzzle panel - there is a yellow wire and a blue wire
  7. The yellow wire will be automatically connected to the top left terminal
  8. Notice there are four other terminals on the panel
  9. Tap the four terminals one at a time to connect the blue wire to each terminal
  10. Each terminal connection will light up one of the lights
  11. You need to tap the terminals in the correct order
  12. If you get a red light, you have to start the puzzle again from the beginning
  13. Continue tapping terminals in the correct sequence until all four lights are on
  14. When all four lights are lit, the panel will open
  15. Collect the Battery from the opened panel
  16. Turn to the back of the safe
  17. Locate the small disk in the center of the back panel
  18. Drag the small disk from the center around the lines to the other end
  19. As you drag the disk along the path, you will reach four circles
  20. Rotate each of the four circles as you reach them to line them up for the disk to pass through
  21. Continue rotating the circles and dragging the disk until it reaches the end of the path
  22. Once the disk reaches the end, a panel opens at the bottom of the right side of the safe
  23. Turn to the right side and view the opened panel at the bottom
  24. Collect the Mask from the opened panel
  25. Look at the panel near the middle of the right side of the safe
  26. This panel requires a four-digit code
  27. Notice there is a segment layout with letters that serves as a clue
  28. Open your inventory and view the Paper Clue
  29. The Paper Clue shows four sets of letter combinations
  30. Use the letter combinations from the Paper Clue to determine the four numbers
  31. Match each letter combination to the segment layout to get the corresponding number
  32. Enter the four-digit code on the keypad
  33. After entering the code correctly, the panel opens
  34. Collect the second Battery from the opened panel
  35. Turn to the front of the safe
  36. View the face in the center of the front panel
  37. Add the Mask to the face in the center
  38. Look on the left of the center to see a slot
  39. Add one of the Batteries to the slot on the left side
  40. Look on the right side of the front of the safe to see another slot
  41. Add the second Battery to the slot on the right side
  42. Once both batteries are placed and the mask is added, the door will open
  43. Collect the Personal Communicator artifact to complete Level 38

💡 Tips & Tricks

  • The yellow wire connects automatically to the top left terminal - you only need to connect the blue wire
  • For the wires puzzle, tap the terminals one at a time in the correct order - if you see a red light, restart
  • The correct order for the terminals will light up all four lights - keep trying different sequences
  • When dragging the disk on the back, rotate each circle as you approach it to align the path
  • The four circles must be rotated to create a continuous path for the disk
  • The Paper Clue is essential for the code - view it in inventory to see the four letter combinations
  • Match the letter combinations to the segment layout on the panel to determine the numbers
  • Make sure to collect both batteries before trying to place them in the front slots
  • The mask must be added to the face before placing the batteries
  • Both batteries need to be placed (one on left, one on right) to open the door

⚠️ Common Mistakes

  • Not collecting the Paper Clue and Wires from the top left panel first
  • Tapping the terminals in the wrong order for the wires puzzle - red light means restart
  • Not rotating the circles correctly when dragging the disk - the path must be continuous
  • Trying to drag the disk through circles that aren't aligned
  • Not viewing the Paper Clue in inventory before trying to enter the code
  • Not matching the letter combinations correctly to the segment layout
  • Entering the wrong four-digit code - double-check the letter combinations
  • Trying to place batteries before adding the mask to the face
  • Placing only one battery instead of both batteries
  • Not placing batteries in both the left and right slots

Additional Notes

Level 38 presents a complex multi-puzzle challenge involving wire connections, disk navigation through rotating circles, clue-based code entry, and mask/battery placement.

What You'll Learn

  • Wire Connection Puzzle: Connecting wires to terminals in the correct sequence
  • Disk Path Navigation: Dragging a disk through a path while rotating circles to align
  • Letter-to-Number Code Conversion: Using letter combinations and segment layouts to determine numbers
  • Mask and Battery Placement: Adding items to specific slots on the front face
  • Sequential Puzzle Solving: Completing puzzles in order to collect necessary items

Core Mechanics Introduced

  • Wire Terminal Connection: Tapping terminals in sequence to connect wires and light up indicators
  • Trial and Error Puzzle: Restarting if incorrect sequence (red light indicator)
  • Rotating Circle Alignment: Rotating circles to create a continuous path for disk movement
  • Disk Dragging: Dragging objects along paths with obstacles
  • Letter Combination Decoding: Converting letter combinations to numbers using segment layouts
  • Multi-Slot Item Placement: Placing multiple items in specific locations to activate mechanisms
  • Visual Feedback: Using light indicators (red/green) to determine correct solutions

Difficulty

Medium to Hard - This level requires solving multiple interconnected puzzles, careful observation of clues, and precise manipulation of mechanisms. Most players can solve it in 7-10 minutes.

Estimated Completion Time

7-10 minutes for first-time players, 4-6 minutes once you understand the mechanics and sequence.
