How to Get All of the Pieces to the Key in Level 2 of Scorn

Scorn is here and with it comes puzzles… lots and lots of puzzles. But Act 2 is where things really seem to kick off. Today, we’ll explain how you can find the key as well as all 4 of the pieces needed in order to progress through the level and get started on that key puzzle. Without wasting too much time, let’s get started!

How to Get All of the Pieces to the Key in Level 2 of Scorn

To find the key and the first node for it, once you find your way into the structure from outside, follow the pathway until you’re in a large atrium with a doorway to your left, and follow the walkway past it until you see a closed door to your right and a dead body to your left. This body holds the key, so interact with it to pick it up. After picking it up, interact with the terminal beside it to get the first node for your key.

The terminal will make you complete a simple puzzle that has you twisting dials until your cursor matches up to where the 3 latches attach. The first puzzle is a nice simple practice, but each of the four you need to complete in order to get more nodes will get progressively harder, with the latch’s lock spinning, leaving you to perfectly time your cursor to match it. The last puzzle goes a step further by covering half of the dials.

After the first puzzle, you’ll have to return to the main room of the building that houses the Venus Flytrap-looking thing and interact with the terminal. The plant-looking organism will react and a new pathway above you will open. Use the elevator to get up towards the next area. Follow it and you’ll arrive in a shaft that will allow you to connect it to another. Connect it to the shaft to the left where you’ll be able to grab the second node.

Next, interact with the shaft again, and head to your left once more. You’ll be in a new area with a fan to the left side of you. Follow the path around it until you find a device with three cupplers you can unplug. Do so, and you can then head through the fan on its left side. Then, you’ll find puzzle 3.

From there, head back to where puzzle 2 was as you’ll now have the gaunlet and bolt gun (assuming you’ve interacted with the terminl to get the gauntlet and initiated the cutscene to receive the gun) needed to interact with the terminal that has the dead body hanging over it. You’ll need to hose off the shaft ahead of you in order to be able to access it. Once done, cross over it.

For the last puzzle, since it’s partially covered, you’ll need to listen for clicking sounds in order to know when to time your matches. Once you’ve gotten it though, head back to the room with the giant plant and interact with the terminal yet again to get started on that key puzzle!

So now you have all you need in order to collect all of those pesky pieces that key in level 2 of Scorn! Good luck and check out some of our other guides for even more help!
