Ben's Comments: I read a comment saying that Alternator from West-3 had 4 solutions, but Oscillator from Into the Abyss was basically Alternator reworked so that it had only one solution. I wonder how many solutions this puzzle has in total...
My completely different and fairly simple solution (I think so, anyway): Both connectors in the middle, on a line between the green source and sink. Connect the source-side one to all three light sources and the other connector. Connect the sink-side one to the red and blue sources and all three sinks (and still to the other connector, obviously). Set the gates going so they're one-third staggered in time. (I.e., one is at about 2/3 height when you start the other going as well.) The idea is that the green light passes right through to its sink when both the red and blue lasers are blocked, and the source-side connector gets turned off any time both the green and red-or-blue lasers hit it, so it doesn't send the green light forward to the other connector, thereby allowing it to pass the red/blue on through to its respective sink.
My solution was to have both connectors in the middle of the gates, the main connector connected to each receiver and red and blue lasers. The other connector connected green to the main connector. Then the gates were timed so that red and blue had long enough on their own, then long enough for green to come through when both gates were up. The extra connector is to weaken the green signal when one of the blue or red gates were open. A few ways to solve it seems.
Mine was almost the same: I also connected the green-source-connected Connector to both the red and blue sources, so that it got completely turned off any time it was hit with green + red-or-blue, rather than "fighting" with the other connector's light being passed along and "colliding" between them.
It clear there isn't only one solution for this one, but plenty. Mine was way different and didn't involve connecting the connectors to each other. I first timed the fences in opposite directions, but not perfectly because I needed a small window with no connections. Then I took one connector and connected to the green and blue beams, placing it near the corridor, more or less in front of the blue switch, in a way that both the green and blue beams are still intervened by the fences (remember, I needed a window with no connections). That got me a good window with the blue switch, and a good window with the green switch, and a small window with nothing. Then I held the second connector and connected the red beam and the red switch (which is at the other extreme of the room), posted myself in front of the purple plasma and waited. As soon as the blue switch was full, I let go of the connector in my hands, and rushed through the gate before the red laser cut off the blue laser. It works. And then it was only a matter of waiting for the other connectors to do their jobs through the fences. Worked like a charm.
i had another solution, where both connecors where on the side with the blue laser. the red and the green laser went through the different fences. But, the good thing is, there isn't the one solution in theese puzzles, because I think, I'd never get your solution.
Boy! So simple that I feel stupid. Thank you again for helping me solve this puzzle. Boy! 😮

would have never gotten this one
i had another solution, where both connecors where on the side with the blue laser.
the red and the green laser went through the different fences.
But, the good thing is, there isn't the one solution in theese puzzles, because I think, I'd never get your solution.
I am literally hating this DLC. lol. I haven't had any fun trying to do these.
Because of the difficulty? Or did you think the puzzles were boring
@@chasmkek for me its a mix of both. I do like there's some very difficult puzzles, but they are nearly all just laser crossing puzzles
@@Toefoo100 laser puzzles do have the highest potential for difficulty tho
Yeah it is pretty shocking, boring too. The isle of blessings was alright, the abyss is trash
This map is trash. Just recycling levels.
