While it may include elements of the horror genre, Scorn is unlike other games in the genre. It’s not a game with jump scares or strong battle sequences, but rather one with a focus on body horror and a creepy atmosphere. This is a great game for those that want a weird atmosphere rather than a terrifying one.
There are several parts of Scorn that must be solved in order to progress. This article will concentrate on the crane crossword puzzle clue, one of the earliest riddles players will encounter and at which they are likely to become stuck.
Solution to the Crane Conundrum
The mechanisms of the crane problem are similar to those of sliding puzzles, another frequent sort of puzzle in which pieces or pictures must be moved in a predetermined order to form a larger picture, and thus they may feel familiar to those who have encountered them for the first time. In this game, though, players won’t be asked to rearrange the egg-shaped pods into any particular pattern or image; rather, they’ll have to transport a certain segment to a predetermined location.
After passing through the game’s opening door, this is the first puzzle players will encounter. Players have access to two different devices, and they’ll both be put to use several times during the course of this problem. On the right is the apparatus that will move around the numerous pods on the platform; this is the crane. The pedestal in the middle may be used to pick up and transport the pod after it is triggered. Only two pods are within reach of the claw; one will shatter and fall off, which will aid in problem solving by freeing up more space for movement, while the other may be grabbed and transported aboard the elevator, allowing access to the main/Spiral area below.
At first, players should utilise the apparatus on the right to relocate the crane. Before attempting to move any pods with the cranes, make sure they look like this.
The goal is to move the red pod (Red Pod) into the light’s unoccupied slot. Even while this is far less challenging than the second section of the puzzle, if you don’t know which pods need to be relocated to which locations, the process may become tedious and time-consuming very quickly. Thankfully, this tutorial will make it much simpler.
Despite its best efforts, the claw will snap and the Red Pod will fall to the ground. Despite the expanded play area, players must now restart their attempts.
The pods have been given names to make the explanation in this guide simpler to follow, as it can be very complicated keeping track of where you put each one as you move it about the board.
Only the top pod may be transferred to the elevator because it is the only one not linked horizontally. The pods that are vertically linked together (Pod V) need to be moved to the unoccupied spot near the light. After resuming their position at the device on the right, players must take the following actions:
Some areas of the problem are very challenging since no pods can be moved through those areas because there are no available slots. It severely restricts the possible paths that each of the pods can take, which in turn decreases the number of possible solutions to the problem. So that the vertical pod could access the light slot, it was necessary to gradually shift all of the pods to the right. If completed properly, it should resemble this:
Players must re-activate the pedestal when they have completed the puzzle. The mechanism will grip the top of the vertically attached pods, pull them apart, and put the egg safely in the elevator. You’ll find it below in the main hall.
