Race against time in Atomic Heart - a story task in which you need to find a flask with a polymer from Algosek, and then attach it to Birch PK-4. In the process of completing the quest, you will need to solve another puzzle with circles.
In this guide, we will show you how to cope with the main stages of the task. Read on to find out the solution to the color-coded puzzle and complete the Race Against Time quest in Atomic Heart.
How to start Race against time quest
To start this quest, you just need to complete the quest "Into the hell", during which you will receive a flask from the Hot Shop. The race against time will begin after returning to the tree: HRAZ will report that the process of photosynthesis has begun, after which the goal “Get a flask with a polymer from the Algoshop” will appear.
Walkthrough Race against time in Atomic Heart
The main task in this task is to get a flask with a polymer for Birch PK-4. To do this, Major P-3 needs to infiltrate the Algoseh and complete a number of key tasks.
How to find Algoseh
To the left of the age, closed by a fan of laser beams, there is a age. Follow the quest marker and go through the door with the red button.
On the left is another similar door. Press the red button and get into the next room. In the center of the laboratory, on one of the tables, you can find a chirp “Here we played…”.
There is another closed door in the lab with a red button. Activate it and go into a long corridor filled with enemies. On the sides there will be many rooms with materials for upgrading weapons.
In one of the rooms is a computer with text messages. Return to the main corridor, reach the end and turn right. A dead body will lie at a dead end, with whom you can talk and find out about the fate of one of the employees of the complex.
On the opposite side is a closed door. To go further, you need Yezhiha and will open the way to Algotseh.
Obtain a flask of polymer from the Algoshop
Before entering Algotseh, you can go to the rest room, which is located on the left side. Inside it is blueprint with random weapons".
Next, go through the broken window and follow the quest marker. In this room it is necessary to find an installation for the issuance of a luminescent polymer. For ease of movement, use polymer tunnels.
On one of the platforms lies a chatty corpse. Dash jump to another platform where the Luminescent Resin Dispenser is located, or climb up the stairs there. To the left of the box is a chirp "This is not Vova - this is Mario".
Where to find a flask for installation
The flask is on the next platform, not far from the chatty corpse. To get there, you can use the dash jump or climb the metal stairs.
Increase the load on the motors to speed up polymer synthesis
Next, you need to find and accelerate the electric motors. To do this, climb onto the platform under the ceiling using a polymer tunnel. Press the button that activates the funicular.
Quickly jump onto a moving platform, then successively apply the Shock ability to electric motorsto speed up the synthesis process.
Restart the platform: how to solve the circle puzzle
Halfway through, the robots will throw Major P-3 off the funicular. To restart it, you have to climb back up the polymer. Use dash jump and get to the circle puzzle.
Previously faced with a similar puzzle in the quest "Not so fast, Major"but now in a riddle with lasers there is a new element. He es the beam not only through himself, but also duplicates it on the upper left block. In our case, the green beam is at the very bottom. To restart the platform, you need:
- Turn once the second circle in the first row.
- Turn the very last circle in the second row once.
After successfully solving the puzzle, the funicular will continue its movement. You can return to the process of accelerating polymer synthesis and increase the load on the two remaining electric motors.
Take the flask with the polymer
It remains to go back and find a flask from Algotseh. After you pick up the filled flask, the task will begin "And everything lit up".
Attach the flask from Algoseh to Birch PK-4
Follow the mark on the screen and leave the Algoshop. The exit is located right behind the installation from which the flask was taken. On the right side there is an elevator: it leads to the premises, not far from Bereza PK-4.
Attach the flask to the birch in the main hall. This action will give you access to Pesticide and Cold Shopand also continue the mission "In an overgrown park ...".
We hope that the guide helped you find the location of the flask to install in Atomic Heart and complete the Race against time quest. Questions about the age ask in comments. In a special section on the site, see others Atomic Heart guides».
