Once players crash their boats on the sandy shores in REANIMAL’s chapter one, the first area they’ll enter is a desolate building of a Mill (Factory). It’s a dark and dingy place, filled with rusted catwalks and fall hazards. One of the first puzzles you’ll encounter will be in the Boiler room, where you’ll need to activate a spinning cylindrical boiler with a hole in it to use it as a bridge and progress further.
Reanimal is Looking Like Little Nightmares Without the Training Wheels
With two horror puzzle-platformers in its arsenal, Tarsier’s Reanimal may be ready to dive into the horror that Little Nightmares only dreamt of.
REANIMAL Boiler Room Puzzle Solution
As players enter the Mill’s boiler room in REANIMAL, they’ll spot a large cylindrical boiler in the middle of the room with a large hole. The goal is to rotate the boiler around to make a clear pathway for one of the players to cross to the other side and reach the door. To spin it, you’ll first need to activate the boiler by reaching the control room.
After entering the marked room, you’ll notice a switch on the far side of the room with a red light. Head to the switch and interact with it to activate the boiler outside. Now you can head outside and continue solving the Mill boiler room puzzle in REANIMAL.
Once you’re outside, head down the catwalk and use the ladder to descend onto the pipes below. Use the pipes to reach the other side and hoist your partner above the platform. You’ll also need to get on top of the platform by jumping when your partner is in position, allowing them to pull you up.
Now, one player (or AI companion) will need to activate the switch on the platform to initiate the brakes and stop the boiler from spinning. Make sure to do this at the right moment when the large hole is facing below or to the sides, making a clear pathway for the second player to walk over the boiler.
Once the second player has safely made it across the boiler and onto the platform, the first player can release the switch. The player who made it across the boiler will now need to head right from the catwalk and lower the wooden plank. This will allow the player managing the switch to make it across, and now both players can progress to the next area.
