The Ship of Theseus

Description
"The Ship of Theseus" is an adaptation of a series of puzzles I made for Portal 2, which were inspired by Talos mechanics and gameplay. I've tried to replicate their designs and solutions as best as I could, but given the different game styles, some changes had to be made.

This episode includes three distinct maps connected by a central Hub. The maps feature a total of 6 unique puzzles between them, ranging from simple and easy to long and complex.
All of the puzzles involve pure logic and require little to no execution, timing or funny angles.
6 sigils in total are needed to complete the episode.

On top of that, every single puzzle includes a secret star within it.
The Hub area also features 4 bonus stars for completionists and secret hunters, so be on the lookout for those!

This was my entry to the Talos Principle Reawakened puzzle jam :)

You can find the original Portal 2 anthology series, "The GLaDOS Principle", here:

@Arthune thanks for playing! I think you have the older version of this map, in the latest update the box is no longer there (and the message is updated).
That whole segment is just a minigame exploiting a fun bug, and is not related to the star. All stars in this episode are easy to access and require little to no motor skill (I've even updated the map to include jump assists for them).

apart from that single point of frustration I have high praise for the pack as a whole. Especially like the cleverly hidden receivers for some of the level stars.

Super confused by the QR code behind Borealis in the 3rd world. "After flinging" fling what? I thought we weren't supposed to pick up the box? How can you even "fling" something you carry anyways? and WHAT fan? Where am I supposed to be aiming. Is there some kind of fan hidden a thousand yards into the ocean thats only reachable by doing some kind of super weird frame perfect bunnyhop movement glitch? Does that fan launch you to the starting portal back to the hub?

so many questions- please update the text or add an extra qr code to explain what all this is about. Since I haven't gotten the star on this level I don't know if this is just a 'for fun' tutorial or actually necessary to get the star.

Great map. This was difficult but very fun. The hidden stars are my favorite part

Really nice puzzles! Not interested in the riddles, though. Got one star, I might get myself to do the other stars at the weekend

@fleischer.karsten Thank you so much for the kind words!! Some really high praise there :D

The riddles not working in the hub was a deliberate choice. Even if they did work there, they each relate to their specific worlds, so there wouldn't be much help there. I'm definitely planning on updating the map after the competition though!

Definitely the best of the community puzzles I played yet.
Borealis took me a long time, also finding and getting to the second star in Gladys.
I have seven out of ten stars now, but I don't recall where the seventh star came from.
As for the the last three stars, I believe they are connected to the riddles on the terminals.
I think the terminal in the main hub area was supposed to show the riddles from the three area terminals once unlocked, but it doesn't. Unlocking the terminals in the areas again is tedious and the riddles didn't make much sense to me. Maybe you should work on that.
Otherwise: Great work! :steamthumbsup:

@Silverfish003 The fan is powered by the blue receiver near the horizontal barrier/pool

Can you explain please what activates the fan below the red emittor in Borealis? I do not see anything to start it with nearby.

@RolandsSh Puzzle stars were already replaced with sigils. Terminals will stay as they are though: they're only for optional collectibles, if people want to engage with them :)
