The key to solving this puzzle is finding the optimal switch combination to overload the generator and open the connected door. The only way to do this is by flipping all the switches up!

The number of switches varies per puzzle difficulty - with Light mode getting 5, Standard having 6, and Hard with 7.

Hard Hard Mode Switch Sequence

Prison Generator Overloading and Solved

Once you've set all switches up, all that's left is to flip the main breaker to initiate the overload! The generator will overload not only the door next to it, but all the cells in the prison allowing James to explore the prison further.

Prison Generator Location

Found in First Floor of Toluca Prison

The prison generator is found in the Witness Room on the first floor of Toluca Prison. This puzzle is essential in progressing the game because besides the door next to it, it also overloads & unlocks prison cells needed to fully explore the location.
