Complete the central-pillar room
Direct green, red, and blue into the pillar's matching receivers. Blue needs the mirror hidden by corruption behind the pillar.
This covers one room in Chapter 5's second trial, not every light puzzle in that chapter.
Beam routes
Clear reachable corruption with the beams so you can cross the room. The directions below start from the entrance; green, red, then blue is the source guide's suggested sequence, not a verified mandatory order.
- Green, entrance right: send the beam to the far-end mirror, then turn that mirror toward the receiver on the pillar's back.
- Red, entrance left: turn its mirror right to reach the mirror halfway along the rightmost path. Redirect that mirror into the receiver on that side of the pillar.
- Blue, centre: aim left to reach the far-left-path mirror. Use it to burn away the corruption behind the pillar and expose another mirror. Relay the light through that hidden mirror to the remaining unused mirror, which faces the blue receiver.
Success and common obstacles
All 3 colours reaching their receivers reveals the symbol needed to progress. If blue cannot reach its receiver, check the corruption-covered mirror behind the pillar.
