How to solve the Duet in Talos Principle 2

To solve the Duet puzzle in Talos Principle 2, start by heading southwest. Use the Driller to make a hole in the northeast metal wall. This creates an opening that allows access to a fan switch.

With the fan activated, use it as a platform to leap to the area housing the Jammer. Use this tool to destroy the nearby blue barrier, then return to the southwest Driller and make another hole in the metal wall adjacent to the second Driller.

Go back to the Jammer and use it once more to lower the barrier and access that second Driller. Place it on the wall's opposite side, then position the first Driller on the other side of the hole and stop the second Driller.

Deploy one Driller to the square slot to lower the blue barrier. Use the other one to reach the metal wall near the Jammer and drill a hole. Jump to the tool and place it outside the hole between the metal wall and the purple barrier. Make use of the nearby ladder to exit.

Afterward, use the Driller on the metal wall near the Progress Wheel to expose a sightline of the barrier. Finally, get the Jammer and use it to destroy this blockade.
