Scorn Act 1-1 Puzzle

Power Plant / Drone Puzzle

Scorn’s Act 1-2 is pretty short as it requires you to activate a power plant thingy using a drone and three power cells. One of the required cells is already available near the power plant. For the remaining two, you need to have the pneumatic gun to interact with their terminals and fight the drones blocking your path.

Getting The Pneumatic Gun

To get your first weapon in Scorn, you only need to head towards the other side of the elevator chamber. Stand on the glowing platform to raise a weapon rack from the ground. Interact with the rack to get the Pneumatic Gun.

Use The Gun To Get The Cells

Once you have the Pneumatic Gun, you can finally get the two cells required to turn on the power plant. With the gun equipped, interact with the terminal located at the end of each hallway to get a cell. Proceed towards the base of the power plant to interact with the drone and mount the cell.

No Need To Kill All Enemies

Interacting with the cell terminals spawns a couple of flying drones. These drones deal damage by blocking your path towards the power plant. You can eliminate the ones that block your path but it is not necessary to get rid of all of them. Be extra careful about them as they also move around so be fast when trying to destroy one of these drones.

Attach The Cells Using The Drone

Now comes the easy part. After collecting the cells, you can use the drone near the power plant to mount the power cells. Once you mount the third, enjoy the cutscene and wait for it to finish to proceed to Act 2-1 of Scorn.
