Cart, Rod Walkthrough (Beamcasters)

Cart, Rod walkthrough for Order of the Sinking Star: the Beamcasters puzzles played with Torc, with the start time of every puzzle in two solution videos.

Cart, Rod is a Beamcasters section that players solve together with Torc. The Flying Chungus describes his video as covering “the Beamcaster's Cart, Rod and Torc sections”, and Mikan Hako plays them in one video (#5, right after the Vault in #4). This page has the start time of every Cart, Rod puzzle in two different solution videos.

Order of the Sinking Star Cart, Rod puzzle 4 with violet, green and orange beams crossing a cave room

Cart, Rod puzzle 4. Violet, green and orange beams cross in one room, and a cyan beam comes in from the top.

Beam colours in these rooms

The beams are the same ones the Vault of the Beamcasters page explains: yellow breaks things, green lets you walk through walls, orange teleports you over obstacles, cyan pushes and violet carries you to the end of the beam. If a room confuses you, check which colour is doing what before you move anything.

The two videos count differently

The Flying Chungus shows 5 Cart, Rod puzzles. Game Guides Channel shows 6, with its first puzzle starting 23 seconds after the zone start. The numbers therefore do not line up one to one between the two videos. Pick one video and follow its numbering.

Timestamps come from the chapter lists in each video. Mikan Hako's uncut playthrough of Torc and Cart, Rod is on YouTube if you would rather watch someone work a puzzle out than see only the answer. If a step does not match your screen, press undo and compare with the video.
