How to solve Interplay in The Talos Principle 2

The Interplay is the second Lost Puzzle in the Desolate Islands of The Talos Principle 2. To solve it, start by climbing over the red ladder to access the other side of the wall. Then, take the Connector and place it on top of the red platform while also linking it to the two red receivers on the far left and right of the room.

Climb the ladder to your left and pick up the Hexahedron. Switch control to the first body and go to where the second body was. Step on the jump pad at the back of the room to activate the fan catapult.

Switch control to the second body holding the Hexahedron. Use the fan catapult to go up and climb the elevated platform. Then, go to the other side.

You will be transported back to the Connector on top of the red platform. Place the Hexahedron on the fan catapult nearby and place the Connector on top of it. Link it to the two red receivers.

Take control of the body from the other side and place it near the metal bars. Switch control to the other body and stand on the red platform beside your Connector. This will disable the Energy Gate on the other side.

Control the other body and access the other Connector. Place it near the metal bars before switching control over the other body again. Using the ladder, go to the other side and stand on the red platform to activate the fan catapult once again.

Switch control over the body holding the Connector and stand on the fan catapult to reach the platform connected to the other side.

Go to the other side and get the other Connector. Link it to the other Connector you just placed on the platform and to the blue receiver at the back of the room. Place it back on top of the Hexahedron.

Take control of the other body and get to the other side. Step on the red platform beside the Hexahedron with the Connector. This will open the Energy Gate with the Progress Wheel. Use the other body and go towards the wheel to complete the puzzle in The Talos Principle 2.
