The Document Tubes are one of the first recurring puzzles you’ll encounter and are exceptionally devious. Fear not; here’s how to solve every Document Tube puzzle in Lorelie and the Laser Eyes.
Lorelei and the Laser Eyes: Document Tube Puzzle Guide
Let me quickly explain how these puzzles work for those who just want a nudge in the right direction. There arefive Document Tubesscattered around the Hotel, each with a name and three-digit code.
You can’t open the Tubes without a crucial puzzle piece: theArchitect’s Sketches. Fortunately, these areon a Drawing Board in the basementdown a corridor by the toilets.
Once you’ve interacted with the bench the first time, you can review the information whenever you please from yourPhotographic Memory under the Notes tab. Each Architect’s Sketch has a name in the right corner, which ties to the relevant Document Tube.
All Document Tube Solutions in Lorelei and the Laser Eyes
In Lorelei and the Laser Eyes,puzzles are randomizedto a certain extent. The Document Tube puzzles seem to have similar solutions but may have different values and names on subsequent playthroughs. Still, here’s how to solve each one:
Estimated Project Cost
This one is tricky because the image is misleading. The object does not look symmetrical from the angle shown, but the text says it is. With this in mind,there are thirteen cubes, and the answer is 13 x 20, which makes 260.
Any Hidden Costs?
The Hidden Cost puzzle kept me scratching my head for hours, but I was overthinking it. The“Hidden” costs are literal, and the solution is written on the sketch. Flip the image so North is straight up on the compass, andthe internal walls reveal a number. The answer is 714.
Least Expensive Option?
You have to think outside the box, asthe most obvious answer is incorrect. We onlyuse the square from the bottom row and the second and fourth shapes from the top. These three combined cost820, which will open the tube.Your values may be different, but the solution should be the same.
Recalculate the Area
This one is simple.Flip the image 180 degrees, and the sum changes from 81 X 9 to 18 X 6. If your numbers are the same as mine,the answer is 108.
Remember to Report Cost to Client
The final puzzle is far less complicated than it looks. You must pick matching sides to resemble the complete image at the top.Pay close attention to the number of windows. The outer pillar can also be slightly different, so watch out for that. There should beten windowson each side. Once you’ve added the two numbers, you’re able to open the tube.
For my puzzle above, the answer is195 from the top + 500 from the bottom, so 695.
These riddles are tough but worth it, as they unlock maps you can use to navigate the entire hotel. You can open these through thePhotographic Memory menu under the Maps tab.
The Document Tubes are tough to figure out, but theSafe combinations are arguably worse. Fortunately, everything you need to solve them is in the same room, although it may not seem that way.
