Scorn: how to solve the act 1 egg puzzle

Jesse Lennox
By

Scorn is an obtuse game in just about every sense of the word. Right from the start, you'll be thrown into a nightmarish world of disturbing icons, harsh landscapes, and a brutal sense of dread with no direction. To make matters worse, this alien environment is a nightmare to navigate easily. Nothing is recognizable, which makes the prospect of solving puzzles even more daunting.

What You Need

  • Reach the upper floor in act one

Right in the first act, Scorn will stop you with a massive door you need to open. Exploring will show you an upper level with a puzzle involving eggs, but what you're supposed to do, or how, is as cryptic as everything else in the game. To help you open this door and dive deeper into this eldritch landscape of twisted and macabre sights, here's a full guide on how to solve the egg puzzle in Scorn.

How to solve the egg puzzle

Once you've seen the door you're trying to open and have taken the lift up to the higher level, it's time to start tinkering with the alien technology to figure out what the heck you're even supposed to do.

Step 1: Interact with the control "panel" thing.

Step 2: Navigate the crane over and move the red egg to the top left slot by creating a path by shifting the other eggs out of the way.

Step 3: Exit the crane and interact with the central panel to activate the bigger crane.

Step 4: This will cause the egg to explode, creating more room on the grid.

Step 5: Return to the first panel.

Step 6: Once in place, repeat the same process with the central panel.

Step 7: This will release a creature from inside the egg.

Step 8: Follow it back down to the first room and interact with the console.

Step 9: The egg will be placed on a cart, which the console sends down the track.

Step 10: At this point, you have two choices.

Step 11: First, use the console at the center platform to open the track toward the big scooping device and harvest the hand from what remains.

Step 12: The other option is to send the cart all the way to the last station and use the crane to put the egg in the chair and activate the saw to release the creature inside.

Step 13: Either way, take the hand, or entire being, to the locked door and interact with the console to open it and continue your journey.

How to get two primary weapons in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Soldiers battle in an abandoned airport.

Building your loadout in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is the same as crafting your build in an RPG. Which weapons and perks you take can completely change how you play and what role you should take in any given match. Typically, you are restricted to equipping a primary and secondary weapon, but previous titles included a perk that allowed you to double up on primary weapons to essentially play double duty. That perk, Overkill, isn't in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, so you will need to look for a different solution to get two primary weapons this time around.
How to equip two primary weapons

Instead of the Overkill perk giving you space to carry two primary weapons, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 introduces the Gunner Vest. This is a piece of gear rather than a perk, and can be unlocked when you hit level 20, or you can use the Overkill vest when you hit level 50. The Gunner vest lets you start with more ammo, reload faster, and, most importantly, equip two primary weapons.

All TV locations in Alan Wake 2
Alan Wake stands in front of a movie theater in Alan Wake 2.

Remedy has been one of the biggest studios to push the inclusion of multimedia in gaming. The first Alan Wake featured short TV episodes of a fictional show called Night Springs that players could discover and watch, Control added in real-life footage in various projections, and Quantum Break had fully live-action "cutscenes." Alan Wake 2 adds more TVs to the world in two different forms -- Koskela Brother Commercials and Writer's Journey videos. The former are found with Saga and the latter with Alan, and both have their own trophy/achievement related to finding them all. As a bonus, they are entertaining enough on their own to warrant seeking them out. Don't touch that dial, because we're going to show you where to find every TV in Alan Wake 2.
All Koskela Brother Commercial locations
Starting off with Saga, there are six commercials to find over the course of the game. All you need to do is approach the TV for it to start, and you get credit for them as soon as they begin playing, so you really don't have to watch them through to the end.

Head into the police station before the end of Return 3 and go into the employee lounge. Note: This commercial is missable if you do not get it before the end of Return 3.
This TV is in the Oh Deer Diner up on the left wall.
The TV in the lobby of the Lederwood Palace Lodge can't be missed.
When you reach the Nursery Home, go into the rec room to watch this TV.
The only TV in Coffee World is in the Lighthouse Trailer park inside the first trailer you pass on the left.
The final commercial icomes during the final sequence of Saga's campaign. Once you start Return 8, go back to the Oh Deer Diner for the last one.

All nursery rhyme solutions in Alan Wake 2

Alan Wake is a famous writer, but neither he nor the new protagonist Saga are known for being particularly fond of nursery rhymes. Whether or not you fall into that category as well won't matter because Alan Wake 2 hides some very valuable rewards behind puzzles disguised as these small children's poems. Solving them involves a little bit of exploration, deductive reasoning, and then putting all the right pieces in place. This is one of the many optional cases in the game, and these rhymes are hidden across all the major zones in and around Bright Falls. If you're stumped on any of these nursery rhyme puzzles, here are all the solutions in Alan Wake 2.
All nursery rhyme answers
There are 17 total nursery rhyme puzzles to find and solve in Alan Wake 2, broken up into all the different major locations. Whenever a puzzle involves placing dolls, make sure you pick up the dolls after solving it because they are needed for other puzzles in that area as well.
