The puzzle that revolves around rescuing the possessed Jacob in Oxenfree II: Lost Signals is more characterised by its tense atmosphere than its difficulty. To assist you in navigating through this challenge, here is the solution to the puzzle.

Night School Studio's Oxenfree II: Lost Signals is a recent release that emphasises a captivating story and exceptional voice acting over intricate gameplay mechanics. In this game, gameplay takes a backseat, allowing the simplicity of the mechanics to support the immersive narrative experience.

While the puzzles in Oxenfree II: Lost Signals are generally straightforward, there are moments where they become particularly intriguing, especially when solved amidst tense atmospheres. An example of this is when we find ourselves in a race against time to rescue Jacob, our partner, who inexplicably falls into a mysterious alternate dimension.

If you find rescuing Jacob to be a daunting task, fear not, as this guide will provide you with a step-by-step solution. We will walk you through the process of successfully saving Jacob from the perilous situation he finds himself in.

How to save Jacob

Following your investigation of the transmitter with Jacob, a mysterious event unfolds as he suddenly teleports and can be observed moving towards the right side of the transmitter. Act swiftly by scaling the rocks and hopping over the fence to pursue him. Proceed to the right, crossing the bridge, where you will encounter a peculiar occurrence as the possessed Jacob begins uttering incomprehensible words.

In order to unravel this enigma and free Jacob from his bewildered state, engage the frequency dial mechanic by pressing the L1 button on your controller. Utilise the right stick to shift the frequency to the left until you sense a vibration and witness the emergence of a small yellow triangle on the right side of the screen. 

As the scenery undergoes a transformation, repeat this process two more times until a portal materialises above Jacob's head. Once the portal is formed, the situation will return to normal, and both Riley and Jacob will discover themselves in an unfamiliar location.
