Where to find a device to access the spinning circle puzzles in Scorn Act 2
Once you enter Scorn’s Act 2 building, after traveling outside for a short while, you’ll soon come to a room with a red glow that has plant-like creatures in the middle. There are two devices that you can see at one of the entrances to this room, but you cannot interact with them yet.
This room actually contains the final puzzle of Act 2, and you’ll first need to solve four spinning circle puzzles before you can access it. To do this, however, you will need to find the right device!
While looking at the glowing plants and the two devices in front of you, turn around and take a left. In front of the locked door here is a corpse. Interact with him to collect the device you need to solve the puzzles in the spinning circle in Act 2.
The very first of these puzzles is right next to the corpse you just looted, to the right.
Solution 1 of the spinning circle puzzle in Scorn Act 2
When you interact with this alien console, as long as you have the device, you insert it into the console and the puzzle begins.
Each circular puzzle in Act 2 is a little different, but they all require the same logic to complete. The basic principle of each is to move your device to grab each of the notches in the circles in the correct orderthen rotate to the top of the console and drop them.
The first solution to the spinning circle puzzles is the easiest of the four, as all the notches are fixed. Raise the notches from the outside to the insidethen drop them on top.

Turning circle 2 puzzle solution in Scorn Act 2
You can find this second spinning circle puzzle solution by taking the elevator up one floor, then using the alien panel to create a hallway to the left room opposite. It’s the one a stone’s throw from the room that’s blocked by corpses.
Take a right when you get to the end of this room, because we can’t access the left panel yet until we get another device. You will find the second circular puzzle in this corridor on the right.
The solution to this one works on the same principle, only this time the notches you need to collect rotate on their own. To solve this one, you need to rotate your device to where the notch will eventually stop in the position you can pick it up from. We recommend increasing the volumeas the notch will click when it reaches the area in which you need to spin your device.
It takes a few rotations for a notch to line up perfectly again, so watch it, then move your device to where it will be next time in order to successfully pick it up. Once you have all three, complete the puzzle at the top again.

Turning circle puzzle solution 3 in Scorn Act 2
Once you’ve solved the second circle, return to the alien panel which allows you to create hallways, then select the room to the left of the one with a pile of corpses.
You’ll walk near a fan, but to get inside you’ll have to keep exploring until you find a structure that has three tentacles attached to it. Take out the three tentacles, then turn around and go forward. Something a little weird is going to happen, but don’t worry, it’s part of the story and you won’t die.
Go back to the fan and you will see that it is now disabled and you can browse it. Explore it until you come to a console at the top of a ramp, which is the third spinning circles puzzle.
This one follows exactly the same logic as the second puzzle. Wait until you hear the click of the correct notch location, then rotate your device to that position and wait for the notch to return. Pick up all three then drop them at the top to complete this third circle puzzle.

Turning circle puzzle solution 4 in Scorn Act 2
It’s time to finally get rid of those corpses!
After solving the last circular puzzle, explore a bit further until you come across a new circular elevator and interact with the panel. This will take you to a new room where you can use the machine on the wall (under the small light) to retrieve the device that lets you control some of the alien technology.
You can now return to the same area as the second spinning circle puzzle and access this panel through the corpse overlooking all the rooms you can access by creating hallways (the entrance to the room is located two to the left of the stack of body) .
Once you have interacted with this panel, spin the device in the room with the corpses and activate it. A little green liquid will get rid of the bodies, and you can now access this room by making a hallway through it with the same device as always.
Explore beyond the entrance to this room and you’ll eventually come to the fourth and final spinning circle puzzle in Act 2 – and this one is the hardest. It’s exactly the same type of puzzle as the previous two, but this time half of the puzzle is blocked.
You really have to listen to where the correct notch placement is on the left and spin your device to pick up all three of them, then drop them at the top as always.

How to Solve the Red Plant Room Puzzle in Scorn Act 2
For the final puzzle in Act 2, go back to the start and find the two devices across from the plant-like creatures in the room glowing red. Insert your own device into the one on the right side of this room to knock down the four plant pods, then interact with the device on the left to access the puzzle.
To solve this puzzle you need to move the four white lights on the right to their correct positions inside the red lights on the left. They all move at the same time, so you have to make sure to move the first light into the longest stretch of free space on the leftthen the second white light to the second longest free space on the left, and so on.
Here’s exactly where you need to move each of the four white lights to solve the red engine room puzzle in Act 2:
And this is what the finished puzzle looks like:
All you have to do to complete Act 2 now is go forward and pick up this device on the pedestal with the only light on on it, then go back to the door opposite the first circular puzzle you solved and to use your new gadget to open it.
