How to solve the Stellar Blade Floodgate Puzzle

From Zelda to God of War, almost every single-player game has implemented puzzles in some sort of way in its level designs. Stellar Blade is no stranger to this cliché at all. In the game, there are a variety of puzzles that block valuable resources as well as story progression. The Floodgate Puzzle is one of the latter.

Although the puzzle is not insanely hard, it can become annoying if you don’t have the proper directions. The Floodgate Puzzle in Stellar Blade can be accessed by interacting with the terminal in the underground sewers. The puzzle is a standard grid-matching puzzle with 16 nodes. Eve aka the player has to connect the nodes in such a way that the powerline can travel from one end to the other.

The power starts traveling from the top left corner and needs to travel to the bottom right corner. Connecting all the nodes will open the floodgate and rapidly increase the water levels in the location, effectively opening a path for Eve.
