Scorn: how to solve the first puzzle (sliding crane)

Scorn is a first-person biopunk horror video game with lots of grotesque visuals. But the game also has a lot of puzzles and tasks to complete. At the same time, several players are stumped, because they cannot pass the first act. When you enter the round room, the first act of the puzzle will begin. So here is our guide on how to solve the first Scorn puzzle.

How to solve the first Scorn puzzle – the sliding crane puzzle in Act 1-1

When you reach the end of the roundabout, you will find two consoles. You need to interact with the right console to start with the puzzle. Along with these consoles, you will also see some pods on the wall. When interacting with the right console, you will be able to control the crane. While one grabs the capsules, the other arm of the console moves the capsules with a crane. You need to use the crane to place and release the glowing pods from the bottom right to the top left. But the only catch here is that you can only place them on nodes.

Since you need to use two capsules, we have divided the movement sets into two parts. Let’s start with the console on the right.

Right Console Movement Set 1

• Move the faucet down
• Take 2 capsules and slide them to the far right.
• Finally, release the modules to place them in the right corner nodes.

Right Console Movement Set 2

• Move the faucet down to the single capsule.
• Take the capsule and move it to the corner on the right.
• Finally, move the capsule towards the glowing capsule and release it.

Now you need to exit the console and interact with the console in the middle. Take the pod you placed on the glowing pod and discard it. This will cause the pedestal in the middle to open up. You need to go back to the right console and interact with it again.

Right Console Movement Set 3 – Solve the first Scorn puzzle

• Grab the 2 pods located in the middle right corner and drop them into the corner right below the glowing pod.
• Then take one pod in the third section below it and place it on the left knot.
• Take one pod located next to the knot in the right corner and place it in the right corner.
• Then move the faucet down, take the single pod and place it where the previous pod was placed.
• Now move the faucet up, take the single capsule and place it on the empty node in the third section.
• For the remaining nodes, take the 2 modules located in the lower left corner and release them on the right.
• Once you move all nodes to the right corner, you will find two modules stacked vertically.
• You need to take these 2 vertical modules and place them on top of the glowing node.

• Finally, exit the console and interact with the middle console.

Center console motion set

When you move the console, grab the pod located on the glowing node and release it on the chair in the middle column. This will trigger an animation sequence as the pod or egg sinks to the bottom. This egg has a creature inside a pod.

Once you complete the puzzle, you will have two options. You can either kill the person or save him. You need to follow the descending egg to meet the creature inside it. Saving the creature will complete the Extraction achievement, and killing it will unlock the Hand in Hand achievement.
