Key Points from the Article

  • The puzzle located inside the generator room, where you must activate two separate generators, can be a bit more complicated than other puzzles.
  • To solve the switches puzzle, follow the principle of errors and corrections. Try one of the switches, and if it turns green, try the other one. If both are correct, both will stay green; if not, the console will reset, and you'll have to repeat the process.
  • If you do not want to bother finding the correct sequence, simply follow the sequence shown here: Engineering, Processing, Administration, Deck, Accommodation. Enter this sequence, and the generator will unlock. Simply walk to it and press the button to start it.
Still Wakes the Deep: The switches puzzle

One of the rare puzzles, if not the only one, in Still Wakes the Deep is the one featuring the switches during the Generators mission. Here is how to solve this puzzle.

Still Takes the Deep, a heavy story-related game developed by The Chinese Room, is a game that tells an emotional story that will stick with you long after you finish the game.

However, the game itself has not a lot to offer in terms of gameplay and puzzles; hence, you won't find many within it—I'd say this one might even be the only real one. There are other puzzles but they are too simple even for an average child.

The puzzle located inside the generator room you'll encounter during the mission, where you must activate two separate generators, can be a bit more complicated than other puzzles because you have to find the correct sequence in which you must turn the five switches on. If this puzzle is giving you a headache, this is the solution to it.

How to solve the switches puzzle inside the generator room

After the sequence where you must avoid being detected by Addair, you'll enter a room from the roof. This room features a console containing five switches that you must turn on in the correct order to be able to turn the generator on.

This puzzle has no hint that can tell you the right order of the switches, but instead, you must simply guess it. You'll do that by following the principle of errors and corrections. Try one of the switches. If it turns green, try the other one. If that one is correct too, both will stay green; if not, the console will reset, and you'll have to repeat the process.
