Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Help/Tips/Tricks The Academy puzzle solution?

Totally lost here. I can't for the life of me figure out how to make this puzzle work. I have all the prisms pointed at the upper pylon but I either can't hit the two conductors fast enough or something because even when it seems like I've activated them all I can't pull the switch and the game won't let me cross this invisible barrier to where Alexander and the big Golem are.

That's a picture of what I'm staring at.

Figured it out. I set some rain down and electrified it, then I did the pylon, for anyone else who may be stuck.

Thanks! The "Electric Discharge" Aerotheurgy did the trick for the panel up on the pillar.

Regardless you've already pass the room, I'll just share another option here.

Actually its not invisible if you know the trick, here's another way:

You can use battery (forgot the name but looks like blue neon) you found inside the academy rooms, one on the west room (storage) inside the academy, master corpse in library, and cabinet in library (make sure you have 3-4 batteries).

Place those batteries on the east side of the room with lightning logo, move the mirrors there to face north, go to northern room (which is library) move the mirror to face west, go to the middle road and move mirror to face north. Now you can see the barrier. After that place one battery on the side of the lever (if i'm not mistaken), move those batteries to 2 lightning logo, move the lever, voila! the barrier is lifted.

You should do the hidden arena, it involves a boss fight that gives the blade of the swornbreaker, along with all the pylons you could ever need.

It's in there, enter a portal through the supply closet, talk to sketchy bird spirit on other side.
