Pottery (Symmetry) 

Along the path between two rock faces you'll find this pottery.

Hint: This area is based on symmetry.

Open the door to enter the pottery.

Hint: The lines will mirror each other, and both paths must be clear.

After the first set of panels opens up the wall, return to the kiln.

Notice that all three solutions are actually the same here - neat! Once completed, follow the wire up the hill to the first red branch gate.

Hint: Pass through every hexagon.

Follow the path down on the right to the first set of panels.

After solving this first set of panels, follow the wire but take the right hand path down the slope here to a separate set of panels.

Hint: Pay attention to the background, including reflections.

Hint: Check all of the background, not just ahead of you.

These rocks are off to the right hand side.

These rocks are also off to the right hand side. Once completed, head back up the slope to continue the previous series of panels.

Hint: You control the blue line, so your starting point is important.

Follow the wires to the next set of panels.

Hint: The yellow line is fading, but still follows the same symmetry as before.

Solving these panels will reveal the lock to the next red branch gate, so head up the slope to reach it.

After opening the second red branch gate, take the left hand path down to a ledge to find a recording. Listen, then head up to the final panels in this area.

Hint: Remember this area is all about symmetry, so consider the opposite panels.

Hint: Check the rotation on the final panel.

Solving the final panel and swiping the lock will activate the laser, unlocking the Symmetry trophy.
