The Gift is the fifth of the eight puzzles that you can find in the Desolate Islands region of The Talos Principle 2. While solving this puzzle, you will be able to assume control and switch between two robotic bodies. The key to finishing it is to use both of them efficiently.

You'll notice a barrier with a Hexahedron behind it when you arrive at the puzzle location. A power grid beside the barrier disables it if you stand on it. Position yourself over it and look around for another robotic body in an elevated position. Take command of the body and jump down.

Pick up the Hexahedron and align it beside the fence. You can jump on the Hexahedron and grab the connector behind the fence.

After you've retrieved the connector, use it to connect the red panel behind you to the conduit behind the fence. Place the Hexahedron at the wall that runs perpendicular to the fence. Place the connector over it, and a connection will be established. Ensure not to place the Hexahedron and connector too far away from the wall.

Once you've made the connection, another electrical barrier will be disabled. Continue past the barricade to find another circuit board on the floor. Stand on top of it and take control of your initial body.

Make your way back to where you left the second robotic body, and you'll see a fan that can push you above the wall has triggered. Use it to climb and continue to the right until you reach another circuit board on the ground. Look down below the wall, and if you're in the right spot, you should be able to pick up the connector. Position it above the circuit, and your way in The Talos Principle 2 The Gift is clear.
