Tapping the Grid Walkthrough and Objectives

Main Objectives

1. Locate the Junction Box
2. Power Down the Junction Box
3. Talk to Louisa Reyez

1. Locate the Junction Box

First Junction Box Location

The first junction box will be marked on your HUD after starting the side quest. From where Louisa is, turn left and head straight through the "exit" pathway.

You'll find some stairs on the other side, but instead of going up, turn left again (to where the marker is) and you will find the first junction box mounted on the wall. Open the panel door and activate the panel to proceed.

Second Junction Box Location

Reaching the second junction box can be quite tricky. From the first box, turn around and follow the path past the stairs then take a right at the turn.

Continue moving forward until you see two flights of stairs. Ignore these stairs, continue past the Apex Electronics store, and go up the other at the end of the path.

You will be barred from going further by a closed red door. Check the switch on your right to open it then take a left to where you will need to open another red door.

Just a few more stairs on the next area and you will find the second junction box, behind a retractable door. Open the panel door and activate the panel to proceed.

Third Junction Box Location

The third junction box isn't that far as it's just on the floor below the second. The door ahead is locked so you'll have to turn around and go back the way you entered then turn left down the stairs near the first red door.

You'll find the junction box at the end of the path.

Fourth Junction Box Location

Return to the double stairs near the Apex Electronics store (where you passed by after activating the first junction box). From here, with the stairs on your right and the electronics store behind you, head straight and you will find another set of stairs.

Go up while following the quest marker until you reach a gray metal door. Enter the room to find the fourth junction box locked behind a puzzle!

2. Power Down the Junction Box

Louisa says you'll need to flip some switches until the circuits are down. To put it simply, you need to interact with the electrical panels on your left in a certain order to get four green lights behind them.

To solve this puzzle, turn off the first three panels first so that only the first and third green lights are on, then turn the leftmost panel back on.

After opening the retractable door, check the junction box and activate the panel.

3. Talk to Louisa Reyez

Return to the medbay at the start of the quest. Near where you found Louisa earlier is a small entrance with more stairs. Go up the building to the monitoring room to find Louisa and complete the quest.
