Linking Connectors (Image via Croteam)

There are alternative options to start this level. However, the straightforward way to kick off this stage is by linking the first Connector to the blue Light Generator. Then, head inside the room of the second Energy Gate to connect the second Connector with the first. Make sure you do these things from an angle that gives you a clear view of these items.

Now, without moving anywhere, find the angle from where you can look at the blue Light Receiver and select it with the second Connector. Go near that Receiver, pick up the Accumulator, and return to the first Connector's original location.

Before using the Accumulator to collect red energy from the first red Light Generator, disconnect the first Connector. Then, take hold of the energy-collecting device and return to the original spot of the blue Light Receiver. You will see the first red Light Receiver to your right; connect the Accumulator to it. Return to the place of the second Connector. Take hold of the connecting device and link it to the Accumulator.

After completing the required tasks to move forward with The Talos Principle 2 Wellspring, you are only a few steps away from finishing the puzzle. Leave all the equipment in their respective places and grab the first Connector. Now, position yourself behind the structure of the red Light Generator. From here, you will get a precise angle to link the second red Light Receiver and Second Connector to the first.

The blue Energy Gates that block your way to the Progress Wheel will be removed with this calculated connection setup. You can now access the terminal and complete The Talos Principle 2 puzzle.
