In Scorn, players get to encounter a couple of puzzles during Act 1-1 of the game. As the game is pretty vague and obscure about details, players are left in despair to solve these puzzles. But fret not! It’s not over yet. Get to solve the puzzles in Act 1-1 of Scorn using this walkthrough, and also get to know how to clear Act 1 of the game.
Note that the game has multiple paths that lead to the same outcome/result. This guide may only be one of the methods used to achieve the same goal.
Likely the biggest puzzle during the early stages of the game is the main chamber. Without any hints or tips, the player is left on their own here. Exploring and figuring things out can take a good chunk of your time so best get to the first part of the puzzle – the egg wall.
The egg wall puzzle is the first of many in Act 1-1. To get here, from the large main doors, head towards the right room and hug the right wall. Once you enter a large room with a seat in the middle, look towards your right and there you’ll find an elevator that leads to the upper level. Ride the elevator and go either left or right until you reach an opening to the center.
Read the Egg Wall Puzzle guide for more details.
Reaching the opening, you’ll notice a terminal standing at the middle. You won’t be using this until later. Just to its right is another terminal. Use this to initiate the Egg Wall puzzle.
To clear the Scorn Egg Wall puzzle, you must place two lighted “eggs” on the upper right spot. After placing the first, activate the other terminal to place it on the conveyor belt. Now comes the hard part. You must rearrange the remaining “eggs” so that the lighted one reaches the pick up spot. Try to shuffle the eggs around and have everything moved to the right side while moving the lighted egg. It may be troublesome but be patient and don’t be afraid to experiment. You can solve this! After successfully moving the egg, use the main terminal again to place it on the conveyor belt.
After moving down the egg, head back to the main chamber and look for a crane. You’ll hear a squelching/gurgling sound if you’re near the egg. Use the terminal to place the egg onto the cradle.
The tracks are all controlled by the terminal located on the elevated middle platform. Use it as you proceed further down the tracks.
After getting the egg, proceed towards the left of the tracks until you reach another terminal. Position the egg underneath the contraption and then interact with the terminal. Witness as the egg gets the “seal of approval”.
After getting stamped, you can push the egg towards the right room to “process” it. Use the track controls to drive the cradle to the room to the right of the main doors.
After reaching the end-point, use the crane to place the egg on the chair in the middle of the room. Afterwards, head towards the inner terminal to “crack” it open. Get the arm as this is the key to the main door.
Yes you can. Instead of going to the room to the right, you can instead go to the room left of the main door. Use the rail controls to align the railroad tracks so that it leads to the farthest room. Use the machine as you would with the above method. Instead of killing the egg, the guy comes out with all limbs. After getting up, egg guy then follows you. Do the steps below to continue.
Note that this also unlocks an achievement and may require a replay of this act to achieve.
To finally get out of the main chamber, you must head to the room to the left of the main doors. There are two corridors here and the one that you need to go to is in the left one. Use the terminal to attach a device similar to yours to the arm.
After getting the key for the arm, use the arm on the left terminal. After cracking the doors open a bit, move to the right terminal to finally open it.
Upon opening the doors, push forward and interact with the lone terminal in the middle to activate the elevator. Congratulations! You’ve finally reached Act 1-2 of Scorn!
