Tattered Bridge Puzzle Solution

1. Pick up the Blue Crystal
2. Use the First Projector
3. Knock Down the Wooden Post
4. Use the Second Projector
5. Use the Second Blue Crystal

Pick up the Blue Crystal

When you get to the west end of the bridge, take the crystal to get rid of the blue barrier blocking the path forward.

Use the First Projector

Walk down the bridge and place the crystal on a node to your left to create a path that leads to a projector.

Use the projector and aim it down the path you just created to hit a node that's hanging from a floating platform.

Knock Down the Wooden Post

Backtrack to the bridge and pick up the crystal. Place it on another node at the end of the bridge to create a ramp that goes up to the floating platform.

Go up the platform and knock down the wooden post there.

Use the Second Projector

Go back down the ramp and pick up the crystal once again. Return it to a previous node to get rid of the ramp.

Walk back toward the bridge entrance and break some wooden boxes on your left to open a path that leads you back to the floating platform. Use the projector here and point the beam at a node behind the nearby zipline.

Use the Second Blue Crystal

The bridge should now be connected to a ledge that has a treasure chest and a doorway that's blocked by another blue barrier. Pick up the crystal to your left to get rid of the barrier.

Go through the doorway and place the crystal on a node in the southeast corner of this room. This will create a path that fixes the rest of the bridge.
