Motorized valve to control connections in all directions in Meropida fortress. By activating this giant switch, you will be able to open ages to different parts of the floor and find hidden treasures there.
This guide will explain how the Actuator Valve works to control connections in all directions and where to find the gear drive to change it.
Where to Find Motorized Valve to Control Connections in All Directions
An actuator valve for controlling connections in all directions is located in Meropid Fortress in the Abandoned Manufacturing Site level. If you haven't been to this location yet, start your journey from the istrative District of the prison. In the western part of the floor, find a lift and take it down to the Lower Floor of Production.
From there, head north to another elevator. Next to it you can activate a teleportation point if you have not done so before. Go down to reach the floor called Meropid Fortress: Abandoned Manufacturing Site. Walk forward along the opened corridor until you see a large round room. The desired mechanism will be located in its center.
How does a motorized valve operate to control connections in all directions?
The actuator valve for controlling the ts is a rotary mechanism operated by gear drives installed in it and power supplied by a switch nearby. Start the mechanism and direct the central drive (big arrow) in the direction of the doorsthat need to be opened. It is also necessary that the small arrow located on the gear drives be turned in the direction opposite to the selected gate, i.e. “looked” at the central arrow.
More details about the operation of the valve can be found in the instructions located next to the switch itself, which controls the movement of the gear. For clarity, it shows the positions of the central drive to open each of the available ages. You can open it by selecting the option "To read" next to the lever.
What to do if the arrows don't point at each other
If the mechanism does not work, and the arrows on the central drive and the gear drive are for some reason not directed in the right directions, it is necessary to correct the position of the gears themselves. You can do this in several ways:
- Re-enter the game through the Paimon menu. This action will reset the current settings of any mechanisms and puzzles. In this way, it will be possible to return the drive positions to their original position without any effort.
- Set the drive directions individually. Select the gate that needs to be opened and start the mechanism. Wait for the gear drive arrow (small) to point in the opposite away from the desired doors in the direction, then stop the movement of the valve and remove the small actuator. Reactivate the switch, placing the drive in any other place, and direct the central drive (big arrow) to the selected age.
How to Use a Motorized Valve to Control Connections in All Directions
To open each of the ages, you will need to adjust the mechanism so that its central drive is directed towards the desired gate. The correct arrow positions are indicated in the instructions located next to the switch. After activating the lever, the camera position will change and allow you to observe the rotation of the drives. Press the button at the right time "Stop"to complete the movement and open the doors.
However, it is not necessary that the gear drive itself be in the same place where the large arrow points. It's enough just wait for the desired direction and remove the drive, moving it to another cell. The setting will be saved, allowing you to tighten the central part of the mechanism in the desired direction.
The screenshots clearly showed that activation occurs even when the small drive is in a different position, but only under the condition that the correct direction has already been previously configured for the quarter of the mechanism where the main arrow is directed.
How to open the eastern age (right) to equipment warehouse No. 1
Opening this age is a quest step “Scenes of life in the Meropid fortress: Safety precautions”, in which the Traveler, together with the Caterpillar, will help the injured employee get out of the locked room in which he ended up by mistake. Position the central drive of the mechanism so that the main arrow points right down, and the small one - to the center of the mechanism.
If you have already opened this door before and have only one drive available, proceed as indicated in the screenshots:
- Place the gear drive on bottom right place and rotate the device to the small arrow pointed to the center.
- Remove the drive and place it on any another place.
- Rotate the device to the big arrow pointed down to the right.
Then be sure to take the gear drive and go into the opened age. Enter the small room and place the gear in the marked slot, then trigger the switch on the right side of the room.
Wait until the drive arrow points to the desired age (to the east), then stop the movement of the mechanism and enter the room that opens. According to the quest, there will be an injured prisoner there, after talking with whom you will be able to pick up one ordinary chest as a reward.
Also inside you can find a container with moroi and one point of interest.
Opening the age to the room with the NPC will block the exit to the room with the mechanism. To open it, start the mechanism again and wait until the drive arrow points in the opposite direction.
How to open the northern age (above) to the geode shaft
The northern age is used as part of the quest "An Eye for an Eye" and leads to an ore mine and an alternative exit from the fortress.
Position the center drive indicator so that it faces right up.
If any problems occur, do as indicated in the screenshots:
- Place the gear drive on top right place and turn the mechanism to the small arrow pointed to the center.
- Remove the drive and place it on any another place.
- Turn the mechanism until big arrow won't watch right up.
After opening the doors, take the free drive, it will be useful later. The corridor that opens will lead to a small room with another puzzle.
Place the gear in the slot in the middle, find a portable energy storage device in the room and place it next to the terminal. Start the rotating mechanism and stop it when the drive arrow points to the desired age. Inside you will find an entrance to a cave, which opens only during the completion of the mentioned task "An Eye for an Eye".
Inside the cave you can open a new one forging press.
How to open the western age (left) to the energy storage warehouse
In order to open the western age, you need to point the central drive pointer left up. To configure the mechanism:
- Place the gear drive on top left place and rotate the device to the small arrow pointed to the center.
- Remove the drive and move it to any another place.
- Rotate the device to the big arrow pointed upward to the left.
Inside the age you will find a small room with a drive and a switch already installed against the right wall. Point the gear pointer towards the closed door to open a age inside.
In a small corridor you can pick up a valuable reward in the form of a luxurious chest.
Before returning to the central hall, take one charged portable energy storage device, it will come in handy in the next age. And to exit, use the terminal again and turn the drive arrow towards the exit. You can take the item with you.
How to open the southern age (from below) to equipment warehouse No. 2
Opening the southern age will require setting up the mechanism indicators left down. For this:
- Place the gear drive on lower left place and rotate the device to a small arrow pointed to the center.
- Move the gear drive to any another place.
- Rotate the device to the big arrow pointed down to the left.
Inside you will find a hall with an already installed drive and switch. Use it to direct the arrow of the mechanism towards the next age to open it.
In the next room you will find only a pear and notes left on the wall. Place the drive you picked up earlier next to the mannequin and hit the activated mechanism. A reward in the form of an ordinary chest will appear nearby.
In the room itself with a drive and a switch, you can pick up an amazing chest and examine one point of interest. Inside the treasury you will find the furniture recipe “Strong Mallow Wood Commodity Box”.

I can't open the age even though everything is done correctly. As in the first screenshot
and what to do if the 2nd gear just disappeared from the inventory, when I got out of there I took it with me and then it disappeared, I returned to the wheel and it was gone too, I can’t open it to the south without the 2nd gear it’s just not possible
My gear drive does not fit in the south, what should I do?
What should I do if I have a different gear drive, but I simply can’t take the other one and it almost completely matches the central one, and I can only put the other drive in 2 of 3 places?
Hello, tell me what to do if I can't take the energy accumulator out of the western age? It disappears when I exit the age. Because of this, I can't unlock the mannequin in the southern age.
Hello. Try writing to technical .
how to open the second door in the east, south and west? I always have it closed
pick up the small gear from the big device and transfer it to the device inside
there are two doors in the age that lead to a small room. and now the first door opens for me, but the second one is constantly closed. there's just a corridor that leads to a dead end/to nowhere/to a second closed door
If you open the door to the tunnel and the situation inside does not match the screenshots, try starting the quest chain in the Meropid fortress. could you send me a screenshot of what you have in the game? to any file hosting service and the link can be in the comment
https://dropmefiles.com/LkOKp
It seems that all the tasks of the world in the Meropid Fortress have been completed, the second door is constantly closed on all sides.
Meropid*
and in the east, and in the south, and in the west.
maybe it's just me being so stupid
Well, either it's a gift from Hoyovers
I'm not receiving the link
the site probably doesn't approve it
I saw your screenshots, if you completed all the quests in the fortress, then this is very strange. have you completed the Unfinished Comedy chain? try writing to technical
I just finished it... it seems I just needed to read the guide more carefully... you must first insert the gear, turn it towards the center of the mechanism (without paying attention to the main arrow), then put it in any other place and turn the main arrow in the right direction. so everything works and both doors are open
there, if everything is installed and done correctly, the mechanism will make a special sound and the main arrow will especially point in the direction
I'm glad that everything worked out for you)
In short, I figured out why it’s not working for you, I also couldn’t open the south door at first
in the first paragraph, where it is indicated that the small arrow should point to the center, does not coincide with the first screenshot, I set the small arrow in the screenshot and therefore my second door was always closed
You need to set the small arrow to a position pointing to the center of the mechanism, that is, it should look up to the right if you place it on the point indicated in the screenshot
I advise you to replace the screenshot so that people like me don’t get stupid and confused)
I advise you to read the entire manual before trying to point out an error to us 😐
The text indicates many times what and why it is done this way. The mechanism of operation of the drives was even explained in the paragraph above. If for some reason you decided to focus only on pictures, ignoring the text, this does not mean that now all guides should be tailored to such “readers”.
As you wish
I did not point out an “error” but a discrepancy between the text and the image, nothing more
I double-checked the pictures. Everything is shown correctly on the screenshot. The small arrow points to the center of the mechanism, “up to the right.” There is no discrepancy or error here.
This is exactly what is stated in the text of the manual.
The gear is not inserted into the top left one.. will it be cured after the quests?
at the age to the west, which is on the left on the map? in theory it should, but if not, then after the quests
Tell me what to do if the gear drive remained in the age to warehouse N1, left the game, did not pick it up and teleported to another place, the age is closed, and there are no gears to open it
Those. Are there not a single gear left in the central room? After a reboot, they are usually reset and at least one appears in the room with the main mechanism. Check the center, one gear is enough to open all other ages.
Tell me, I want to open the age, but I don’t have a gear drive, because I’ve completed the plot and secondary tasks
Have you tried re-entering the game through the Paimon menu? one drive is usually always there. if it does not appear, technical
I cannot go through the age to the cave, because for some reason the mechanism in the age is blocked, what should I do?
Have you completed the quest? "An Eye for an Eye"?
Okay, so I thought that the age to the trunk would open according to the plot. And I really wanted to take the eyeglasses right away.
What if I’m a d***, and all my drives are placed in other rooms that are closed and I have 1 drive that I can’t pick up, otherwise nothing will work?
This is how it should be after completing the fortress story, in the central room there will be only one drive, which is more than enough to open all the doors.
Follow our instructions: place the small drive in the direction where the door needs to be opened. Adjust it so that it faces from the door !to the center!. Then take it and move it to any other cell and turn the large arrow in the desired direction.
Nothing works for me at all. One gear cannot be removed. No matter how hard I try to restart
Tell me, have you completed the “Game of Monopoly” quest?
God, I can’t open anything even with the guide. Adishche. I put the arrows as in the first screen, nothing opens
Look beyond the screenshots. Below them, they described in detail, point by point, what exactly needs to be done. Perhaps you make some mistake at some stage.
Everything worked, thanks
happy to try)
What to do if the southern age does not open in any way? The first partition opens, but the second one doesn’t and you can’t get through there?
The article indicated what needs to be done. Use the switch and turn the actuator so that its arrow points to the partition.
