Reconnection ramps up the difficulty from the previous stage (RGB Shifting) by forcing players to use two RGB Converters in tandem with each other.It’s certainly worth completing the first Grasslands Ring puzzle before Reconnection, as players will gain valuable knowledge that can be applied to this trickier puzzle. Doing puzzles in order is a good idea for the rest of the game - and most puzzle games in general - for this reason.

Blue + Green = Red

Blue + Red = Green

First things first, players need to free the trapped RGB Converter from behind the Energy Gate. To do so, players need topick up the available RGB Converter and select the green and blue Light Generators; doing so will turn the Converter red. Then,select the red Light Receiver with the red Converter, and the gate will open.Grab the newly freed Converter and leave it just a few steps outside of the Energy Gatefrom which it came so that it is roughly in line with the red light receiver.

This is where things get tricky, as players are unable to create the red light needed for the final Energy Gate with just one RGB Converter due to its location, tucked away behind a long wall. What players need to do is essentially turn the original Converter into a Light Generator.

To accomplish this, players need toreturn to the original RGB Converter, select the blue and red Light Generatorsto create green, and thenselect the recently freed RGB Converter.

Finally,pick up the recently freed RGB Converter with the Keep Connections option and select the blue Light Generator. This will turn the RBG Converter red, so players cannow select the second red Light Receiver; the gate will open, and players can complete the level.
