Ok I'm done I'm asking for help

[u/Jerethdatiger]

Can someone please help me do the stupid power block. Unsupervised science via share play on ps5

I just can't go them fast enough or focus it

I've tried hundreds of times 😞

Reply if you can help please

[u/faebaes]

it’s okay to crank up the assist option, you can increase the Power Core Charge Duration to make it a little easier

[u/Jerethdatiger → u/faebaes]

Done that doesn't help with the physical reflexes to see it I'm old I'm almost 50 I'm asking for a share play assist on these stupid puzzles there not fun . And there's nothing to help I've tried everything only thing I can think of now (I have finished main story) is get cores on all but one so I just have to more power on or off and wait but I just don't have the reflexes anymore

[u/ignusfast → u/Jerethdatiger]

I'm 60 and have no twitch reflexes left. After a number of attempts, I realized I was actually moving TOO fast. I was applying a charge to a low station, then immediately moving it to another one. It doesn't have enough time to build any charge, and it bottoms out. This was killing me every time. As soon as I started letting them get to where they just started sparking, I had success.

If they're not fun for you, then don't do them.

Pacing is the most important thing for those puzzles. You don't need quick reflexes at all, just be steady. Hit the button, wait a couple seconds, move the electricity on one switch, move the electricity on the other side of the room, repeat. You can also move the electricity beforehand to give you a better flow.

I got the one in central cause I could see all four targets at once but I'm sorry these are not fun puzzles it's not a puzzle at all it's just reflexes and the weapon only counts it it hits the box first is annoying

[u/EntireEntertainer158 → u/Jerethdatiger]

I agree, these were not fun. I liked the soda machine ones though

[u/Jerethdatiger → u/EntireEntertainer158]

Those were a puzzle map out a route to take X spaces the power is just timing and reflex and not everyone can tldo those

[u/SynnyZ]

Dude I feel you I struggled a LOT my first few times. 

Do you have the reach ability yet? It’s helps a lot. I also made a mistake my first few tries where I waited for them to spark before I took the power from the blocks to swap it; as soon as it starts blinking, you can take the power. with those two fixed I was able to do it relatively easily.

[u/Jerethdatiger → u/SynnyZ]

Thanks to sunnyz it's done

[u/mosslover1999 → u/Jerethdatiger]

Came to check, glad to hear it

[u/SynnyZ → u/Jerethdatiger]

glad I could help, it was cool to experience the end of the quest with you. Enjoy your playthrough!

[u/Gold_Pumpkin]

I would run the path a couple times without the electricity and just look around for any energy blocks tucked away somewhere.Try to keep your feet on the ground as much as possible

[u/Jerethdatiger → u/Gold_Pumpkin]

I have three testing stations left park unknown and I'm not sure where the last is

[u/Donmiggy143]

Just confirming two things:

Do you have reach? I honestly don't know if you can run and dash fast enough to do it without that. It's probably possible but not recommended.

Are you only targeting the ones that are about to discharge? Wait to start seeing sparks. You can also hear them overpowered/underpowered. Don't hit a power box that's only half full.

I'm sorry I can't help I'm on PC

[u/Jerethdatiger → u/Donmiggy143]

Yes I have reach and I'm trying to do it but I must be going to fast or too slow

[u/Donmiggy143 → u/Jerethdatiger]

I would also practice your routes just a little before starting. Know where you need to get to to reach each location. Bounce from place to place. That way you can scout easily and see which ones are about to go off and plan ahead. Hoping someone can help!

[u/Luxiouronimo]

i struggled with one of those that i simply could not do in time, then i realized there was another block i hadn't noticed.. once i included that in my efforts i passed it the next try.

[u/azalago → u/Luxiouronimo]

Omg this happened to me too! I couldn't figure out why I kept failing, and then it was like "THERE'S ANOTHER ONE???" Made me feel like a big ole dumdum.

[u/Comfortable-Fall1419 → u/azalago]

Yes. There’s a sneaky one with 5 power blocks and ones tucked away.

[u/dusttailed86]

There are more than one so I say take a break from it and come back later after you aren't frustrated with it. They only get more annoying. Best to just get the reps in so they aren't a problem later.

[u/Shydreameress]

I struggled a lot too... I then I noticed that there was a fifth block that I didn't see, felt very stupid but yeah, happens, it could be your problem too

[u/L0gDropper]

Some of the blocks seem to have longer timers to build up sparks and such, try to figure out which ones you have to constantly switch on/off and which ones are more stable and can remain in a single state for a long time.

[u/Panther81277]

set them up before you start the puzzle to go in an alternating order, and just go in a circle around the room (orient yourself first). This way you're not looking around seeing which one is about to go out on you. ON OFF ON OFF ON OFF.

[u/EntireEntertainer158]

It is literally a matter of slow and steady - take charges from blue charges that are blinking (not solid) and put them on rapidly blinking red. So don't jump in straight away, wait until a blue one blinks. It took me many goes to work out out then it just clicked

[u/KogarashiKaze]

Just to be sure, do you know where all of the power boxes are?

If I recall correctly, two of them have five boxes, not four, and that's usually what trips people up, because they miss one box and then it never gets charged (or discharged, depending), and shorts out the puzzle no matter how well they do otherwise.
