When you first begin, the puzzles start right away with a gate blocking your way into a lush garden. When you approach said gate, you’ll notice that the puzzle is being covered by three black panels and that there are chords leading from them. Follow these chords to find the three puzzles necessary to remove the panels.

Each panel is solved by drawing a line from the entrance (indicated by a circle) to the exit (indicated by a tab outside of the square). You can check out the solutions for each one below:

One of the puzzles has two possible starts. In order to open the black panel, you’ll want to solve the one on the bottom first like this:

Then, return to the gate and solve the puzzle to open it:

After doing so, return to the puzzle with two solutions and do the top one, as you’ll need that later:

Now, go through the gate that has just been opened up. Head left and follow the wall until you find an open gate. This is the reason you needed to solve that puzzle with the two solutions fully.

Through here, you’ll find several more puzzles. Keep an eye out for one that is found on the floor, among some rocks. The solutions for these are as follows:

Once you open the last gate, you’re done here. You’ll gain access to the starting path that was blocked by this area and can continue on with The Witness.
