Introducing the Upperway Puzzle in Rogue Trader
The Upperway puzzle in Rogue Trader stands out as a particularly challenging obstacle for players early in the game. Unlike other puzzles such as the Eurac V lab puzzle or the First Galvanic Hymn, which offer some form of guidance, the Upperway puzzle presents a unique difficulty due to the minimal feedback provided when interacting with the warehouse generators. The primary objective of this puzzle is to figure out the correct sequence of actions to power up a locked safe, which holds valuable loot for the player to claim.
How to Solve the Warehouse Puzzle
To successfully navigate the Warehouse puzzle in Rogue Trader, players must activate various devices in a specific order. If an error is made, the puzzle can be reset using the big generator, or players can opt to quicksave before beginning to avoid losing progress. Follow these steps to power the safe and access the loot:
- Attempt to open the Locked Safe.
- “Power the cogitator” next to the safe.
- “Close the Relay” on the west side of the room.
- “Unlatch the damper”. Choose the southernmost one in the center of the room.
- “Distribute the Supply of Motive Force” located in the south-east corner of the room.
- “Close the Relay” by the stairs in the north-east corner leading down to the underhive.
- “Unlock the safe” back at the starting point.
| Action | Location |
| Power the cogitator | Next to the safe |
| Close the Relay | West side of the room |
| Unlatch the damper | Center of the room (southernmost) |
| Distribute the Supply of Motive Force | South-east corner of the room |
| Close the Relay | North-east corner by the stairs |
| Unlock the safe | Back at the starting point |
When each step is executed correctly, a message indicating “Everything seems to be correct” will appear, signaling that you are on the right track. Upon completion, the safe will be powered, and you can collect your well-earned rewards.
