How to solve the puzzle in Mantis' Lair
Behind the door where Livvy stood is riddle in the lair of the Mantis. There are several options for solving it.
Go through the letters
The most direct and plot-obvious way to get past the Mantis trap is to simply follow the correct letters. The code word is not directly stated anywhere, but from notes and audio files one could hear the phrase Tyrannis Mantis. The right word is Tyrannisto get through you need to follow the letters in the following order:
- Third from the left.
- First on the left.
- Third from the right.
- Second from the right.
- Fourth from the left.
- First on the right.
- Second from the left.
- Third from the left.
Please note that the companion does not trigger a trap: if he walks over a random letter that is not part of the word, nothing will happen.
Break the turrets
Alternative way - destroy all turrets. There are four of them in total. Activate the first letter incorrectly and immediately run through the door that leads to a corridor with a trap. Guns deal enormous damage, so use a rifle and hide behind cover.
Hack control
To the right of the door that leads to a corridor with traps, there is компьютер. He is responsible for the turrets, he can be hacked with skill Security [Master]. Take advantage of digipics and open the lock.
If you successfully hack the remote security control system, you will be able to deactivate the turrets, or update the settings to remove combat inhibitors.
