How to Retrieve Claire’s Head from the Icarus Hall

If you know how Atomic Heart goes, take a guess on how we will be able to retrieve Claire’s Head from the Icarus Hall. If you said by solving a puzzle, then you are completely right. I mean, this game has everything puzzle related, and, after arriving at Icarus Hall, we will be dealing with a very familiar type of puzzle, like said before. And that is, with a lack of a proper name popping in my head, is the “tilt the table to get the ball to the hole” puzzle. I know, I should get an award for this puzzle naming. A Razzie at least. Anyway, on with the puzzle.

So, the ball must go into the whole, and there is only one way to do that. And that way, is going left, or clockwise. The maze may seem overly complicated, but tilting the table to make the ball go to the left is the way to go. This is the only way that features the openings necessary to make it reach the hole. You will be able to both tilt the table and also rotate it to have a better look at it. Just keep tilting it to get the ball clockwise all the way to the last portion of the maze. There, you will have to bring it back counterclockwise to get it to the hole. Be sure to time your moves in order to get the ball in the correct line.

Once you complete the puzzle, jump down to the level below. You will be able to collect Claire’s head from where the puzzle table was located. There is no major tip or advice other than what was said. Just take a good luck at the maze and trace the correct path. It can potentially be a trial and error type of puzzle, but I guarantee you that the ball physics will be your major enemy. Good luck!
