Unexpected Outcomes (Puzzle #1)

Drill a hole in the wall next to the Red Receiver.
Connect the Inverter to the Blue Generator on the other side of the hole and link it to the two Red Receivers on your side.
Retrieve the Connector and link it to the Inverter and Blue Generator.
Poke a hole in the other breakable wall (the one to the right of the Red Receiver). Make sure you place the Driller behind the panel and aim it at the wall through the gaps in between.
Use the Inverter to create a new link through the hole. You should connect the Inverter to the Red Receiver in the back - behind the one blocking the final gate.
Link the Connector to the Inverter, Blue Receiver, Blue Generator, and Red Receiver that are blocking the path to the final gate.
Get behind the panel and aim the Driller back at the wall behind the Connector so its laser can reach the Blue Generator.

The Other (Puzzle #2)

Connect the first Inverter to the Blue Generator in the back, both Red Receivers, and the leftmost Blue Receiver.
Link the other Inverter to the first Inverter, the leftmost Red Receiver, and the other Blue Receiver with no connections.
Go to the other room and take the Connector.
Link the Connector to the Blue Generator through the gap in the wall.
Take the first Inverter and change its connections to the following: both Red Receivers, the leftmost Blue Receiver, the second Inverter, and the Connector.
Finally, get into the other room and link the Connector from the Blue Generator to the second Inverter.

Oscillation (Puzzle #3)

The first Connector must be connected to the Red Generator, the Blue Generator, and the Blue Receiver. Place this one on the other side of the moving fences in the middle of the room.
Connect the second Connector to the Red Generator and the Red Receiver. (Place this one near the Blue Generator.)
Wait for the moving fence to change the lasers’ colors and unlock the gates.

Alternation (Puzzle #4)

Take one of the Connectors and link it from the Red Generator in the back to the Red Receiver and the Blue Generator on the other side. (Place this Connector in front of the gap on the left.)
Link the second Connector to the first Connector, as well as the two Blue Receivers on the right, the Red Receiver on the right, and the Blue Generator in the back. (Place this Connector in front of the gap on the right.)
Wait for the lasers to change color and unlock the two gates blocking the Progress Wheel.

Tritogeneia (Puzzle #5)

Take one of the Connectors and link it to the Green Generator in the middle. (Place the Connector in front of the Generator.)
Get the other Connector and link it to everything except for the Green Generator. (The second Connector must be linked to the Red, Green, and Blue Receivers and the Blue and Red Generators.)
Place the second Connector in front of the Green Generator between the two gates.

Wait for it to open the gate and shut it down once it does so.
Switch on the other device and then immediately switch the first device back on.
Your goal is to create momentum with the gates so they take turns blocking the lasers.
Finally, wait for each gate in the back to open and get past them to interact with the Progress Wheel to conclude the puzzle.

Voyager (Puzzle #6)

Find the active Connector in the back.
Change its connection to “Red Generator, Red Receiver, and the other Red Receiver.”
Take the Fan with you and place it over the Pressure Plate near the puzzle’s entrance.
Retrieve the Hexahedron from the locked room and restore the Fan to its initial spot.
Place the Hexahedron on the Pressure Plate next to the Fan.
Fly to the other room using the Fan.
Poke a hole in the wall using the Driller and place the device itself over the Pressure Plate.
Get the Hexahedron and push it into the Driller’s room through the hole in the wall.
Replace the Hexahedron with the Driller. (Place the former on the Pressure Plate and take the other one.)
Punch a hole in the wall from the other side and retrieve the Hexahedron.
Place the Hexahedron on the Pressure Plate next to the Fan.
Create a hole in the wall in the same room (the one with the Fan).
Change the Connector’s links to the Red Generator and the Red Receiver away from the entrance and place it near the hole in the wall.
Retrieve the Connector from the other side and place it in front of the Fan, as close to the other breakable wall as possible.
With the Driller in your hand, fly to the other room with the Fan, punch another hole in the wall, and pull the Connector in.
Place the Connector on the Pressure Plate. Using the Driller, create another hole on the other side and retrieve the Connector again.
Finally, poke a hole in the wall near the Progress Wheel and link the Connector from the Blue Generator to the Blue Receiver.

Stylite (Puzzle #7)

Connect the first Connector to the Red Generator and the Red Receiver.
Take control of the Clone and stand on the Pressure Plate so the laser beams connect.
Jump to the other puzzle area using the Fan.
Take the second Connector and place it over the Pressure Plate after connecting it to the Red Generator.
Move your Clone away and replace it with the first Connector. (The Connector must be linked to the Receiver in the back from the other Connector you linked with the Red Generator.)
Now that the Clone is free, bring it back to the main room and have it stand near the Fan.
Using your main body, fly to the other end of the room.
Teleport to your Clone’s body, detach the Fan, and replace it with the nearby Connector (the one that’s currently linked to the Generator).
Connect the released Connector to the Red Generator and jump on the Fan’s platform. From here, you can see another Red Receiver past your body at the top. Link the Connector to this Receiver and place it on the Fan’s platform.
Using your Clone, hold the fan and step on the fallen stone just behind the Pressure Plate. Your goal is to give the Fan to your main body.
Once you retrieve the Fan, have your Clone stand over the Pressure Plate and teleport back to your body.
Install the Fan in the empty slot on the ground and use it to fly high enough to reach the Progress Wheel.

Metaphora (Puzzle #8)

Connect the first RGB Converter to the Red and Blue Generators.
Connect the second RGB Converter to the Blue Receiver, Red Generator, and first RGB Converter.
Connect the third RGB Converter to the Blue Generator, Red Receiver, and the first RGB Converter.

Take the first RGB Converter and place it over one of the Pressure Plates. Finally, grab the third RGB Converter and position it on the other Pressure Plate to solve the puzzle and conclude the third chapter of The Talos Principle 2's DLC.
