The Witness walkthrough & puzzle guide

Pressure Pad Maze 

In the same area as the Hedge Maze (Keep) you'll find another sequence of mazes that work via pressure pads you walk on.

If you make a mistake at any point, you can swipe the line on the panel to reset the pressure pads.

By the next panel is a path to a Shipwreck, which we'll cover later.

Hint: Match the shape to the path.

Constrain the shape within your path on the correct orientation.

By the next panel is a gate you can open for a shortcut to the Orange Trees (Shady Trees) area.

Hint: Don't worry about the orientation.

An angled shape can be constrained at any orientation.

Head to the top of the central tower for the last panel.

Hint: You'll need a new path that follows all the rules.

This is one of a number of possible solutions. Note that the bottom left area combines all three shapes, with the long bar running horizontally through the middle.
