In Atomic Heart, Race Against Time is the main quest in which you will need to retrieve a flask from the Algoshop by solving a circle puzzle and fighting dangerous enemies. In this guide, we will tell you how to get to the desired location, solve all the riddles and get the quest item.
Passage of the task "Race against time"
How to get to Algotseh
You can take on this mission after completing the quest. "In hot pursuit" and started the task "In the overgrown park...". Having installed two candles, you will need to get four flasks from various workshops and place them near the Birch. We advise you to go to Algotseh first.
To do this, go into the passage to the left of the glass cylinder, next to which there is a sign with the name of the location you need. Go down the corridor, and at the fork, keep going forward. On the left you will see a rest room (here you can save and find with blueprint chest ), and on the right is a steel door and a button - click on it to open a passage to the Algology Lab.
After going inside, go forward along the corridor, turn into the left open passage and go down the stairs to the room with dioramas. Here you will find a red chest, which may contain Dynamo drawing. Head back to the second button door and open it to enter the lab.
How to get a flask with a polymer from the Algoshop
Inside, you will come across several mutant plants. Deal with them, inspect the adjacent room for materials, and then open another steel door with the button. As soon as you enter the corridor, all side doors will open and monsters will come out of them. Deal with them.
You can now look around these side rooms for resources and new entries. Next, go forward and turn left to the piston lock - crack it by playing a mini-game (if you come across a difficult puzzle, then just exit and interact with the mechanism again). When you pass through the bars, a cut-scene will start in which you will see the Hedgehog.
The grate will break, and you will be able to go down to the Algoseh, but before that, we advise you to look into the rest room located at the back. It contains a red chest, which may contain a blueprint electrical cassette. So, jump down to the workshop hall and go up the stairs to the right to the platform.
Turn around and go to the left platform. Go even further to the platform with the polymer tunnel. Climb into it and start moving towards the quest marker. Use similar streams to get to the right place. However, the flask will not be in the device.
How to find a flask to install
Turn right and look on the iron container Twitterer. Now go to the next site. To do this, you can simply use the dash jump or jump down, and then find the stairs leading to the area you need. Take the empty flask from the drawer and return to the mechanism.
How to increase the load on the motors
Return to the platform where you found the flask, and then go down and climb into the polymer tunnel. Swim up it and emerge on the upper platform. Approach the control panel and press the button to activate the funicular.
Jump onto the platform in front, which will begin to slowly move in a circle. When you pass near the motors, hit them with Shock by pressing the button displayed on the screen. You will need to do this several times. In this case, you will constantly be under fire from flying drones.
How to restart the platform (solving the puzzle with circles)
The funicular will stop about halfway along the route, so you will need to reactivate it. To do this, turn right and with the help of a jerk during the jump, get over to a wooden plank and enter a small open room. Here on the wall you will find a puzzle with rays and disks.
Interact with her for lasers to appear. Be careful, because at this moment two androids can attack you. To solve the puzzle, first rotate the bottom rightmost circle once, and then the top center circle - the finished result is shown in the screenshot below.
Now return to the platform, which will start moving again, and hit the remaining motors with Shock, continuing to fend off flying opponents.
Take the flask with the polymer
The task will start "And everything lit up". Wait until the platform stops, and then get off it and save. Climb into the polymer and swim down. After going down, get to the platform with the installation and go to it to pick up the filled flask.
Now you will need to return to Bereza PK-4, following the marker. Jump down to the very bottom of the Algoshop and move towards the passage shown in the screenshot below. Then take the elevator, which will take you to the corridor located near the "Birch". At the fork, turn left, and soon you will find yourself in the right room.
Install the flask, and take on the next task called "They want to green Mars", in which you have to go to the Hot Shop and cool the boilers.
