You\u2019re confronted with Scorn\u2019s first door puzzle almost immediately after starting this first-person horror adventure. As you wake up and begin to venture through the grotesque architecture, you\u2019ll find the way forward is blocked by a solid door. You\u2019ll need to do some exploring if you want to open it but with so many branching paths heading off the main room, it\u2019s easy to become disoriented.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll need to find and interact with some glowing cocoons but even then it\u2019s not particularly straightforward. In this guide, I\u2019ll help you figure out the first Scorn puzzle and get you moving in the right direction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to reach the cocoon room Once you arrive in the large circular room, you can climb the spiralling column in the middle to get a better view\u2014from here, you can also see the large door you\u2019re trying to open. You can even interact with a panel up here, though, at this point, it\u2019s not particularly clear what you need to do. You can move some of the tracks on the outer side of the room but that doesn\u2019t appear to do anything at this stage. You\u2019ll need to do some exploring first. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head to the main door to find two panels you can interact with. Both move mechanisms on the door but don\u2019t actually open it. Instead, head through the doorway directly to your right and follow the corridor until you see a strange alien crane. Once in this room, turn immediately right, then right again to find a circular elevator and interact with the red pedestal to ascend. Follow the corridor\u2014ignoring the turnings on either side\u2014and you\u2019ll come to an open room with two pedestals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to solve the Scorn cocoon puzzle <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you interact with the pedestal directly ahead, you\u2019ll move a claw-like mechanism on the far wall and it will try to grab a cocoon but fails as there\u2019s nothing there. Move to the pedestal on the right instead and slide the cocoons around\u2014though be aware that some of them are connected and move in groups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should notice that two of the cocoons have lights on them and you\u2019ll need to move these to the place where the claw tried to grab earlier when you used the first pedestal. You technically only need one, but the first one you move to the correct position will break when the claw tries to grab it, so you\u2019ll need to move the second one too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get the first cocoon into place, check the last two screenshots above. Essentially, you want to move the single cocoon on the third row across to left, then move the double cocoon on the second row all the way to the right. This should make a clear path for moving the first cocoon into place. Once that\u2019s done, use the first pedestal and watch the cocoon break. Now it\u2019s time to move the other one.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
