Small Gravity Pad puzzles
-
Take the GRAVITY REVERSAL PAD from the top of the square. The ball will fall, and a panel will open.
-
Take the METAL SPHERE and the block of LODESTONE.

Cube Puzzles
Turn around until you see the large control panel and click for a close up.
Note all the different circle patterns. These represent the numbers you need to enter into the panel.
Go back past the staircase, but this time turn left. You'll find a tall box that is some sort of scale.
Put the pulley on the knob at the top of the box.
Combine the GEODE (you must choose the geode first) with the SPRING. Attach it to the pulley in the box.
You can now weigh your blocks by placing each in the indent. Your findings will be automatically written in your notebook.
Iron=White. Lodestone=Black. Basalt=Red
Return to the large control panel.
The code is

Walk forward three times. Turn to look at the floor and you will see a block of NICKEL.
Pick up the Nickel and take it to the scale to weigh it.
Nickel=Yellow
Next return to the configuration table (which is next to the control panel). The fractions are related to the code you punched in earlier.
Think about how decimals are written. you have the tenth spot, the hundreth spot, etc.
Determine which numbers are in which spot. From there convert them to their color, and from their color to block type.
From left to right it's
basalt, nickel, lodestone, iron.
This will power up the last large gravity pad.
Go back upstairs and across the gravity pads to arrive at the catwalk on the opposite side of the room.
Proceed down the catwalk until the end, then look right to see a panel with a strange lock.

Walkthrough by Kimberly!
Thanks to Trinn...couldn't have finished the walkthrough without her!
Sweet! New Worldgate!!!
Let's see who obtains the secret ending first...(the walkthrough does not cover it).
By secret ending, do you mean the
behind the scenes and next game preview stuff?
One source of frustration:
In the red pocket universe, I didn't realize I had the basalt cube, since it blends almost perfectly with the inventory background!
The iron/basalt/limestone code is not making any sense to me. The answer is given in the walkthrough above, but I don't understand why that is the answer. What am I missing?
@baileydonk
I'm with you, I don't get it either.
Are you talking about when you enter the code in the console, or the order you put the blocks in the configuration table?
In my case, Kimberly, the answer is yes. I found it difficult to understand the answers to both puzzles.
It's really hard for me to explain so if someone can do it better, please jump in.
For the code:
All the numbers are represented by the small colored circles and how many of them are filled in. So none of the white circles are filled in, so that equals 0, 8 red circles filled in equals 8, etc.
For the configuration table:
Once you have the code 9.807, you have to think of it in math terms. You've got 9 in the ones place. 9 is black on the control panel. If you've weighed your cubes you know that lodestone is black on the scale. Therefore you know that lodestone goes in the ones place, or on the number one in the configuration table. 8 is in the 10ths place, and 8 is red. Red equals basalt, so basalt goes under the number 1/10, etc.
I hope that helped a little.
the instructons are hard to understand in this one. :(
@Kimberly
That helped, but how do you know the order the digits should go in? Ex. 9.087 or 0.987?
@ellingeng123 for the order of the numbers I was confused too. This is just a guess but...
Notice how some of the circles are inside of another colored circle. The black circles aren't, so start with black (9). Then inside of the black circle is red, so red is next (8) and so on, giving 9807.
Thanks so much Jamilworm! I think you are correct!
I wonder if, when the 4th part is done, Mr. Buchanan will consider releasing a 'mega' version that has all four parts combined into one continuous story.
And...huh, just looked at the information bit, and one of the music tracks is from Cyan? Interesting.
About the number puzzle:
There are 9 black small filled circles, so that's 9 units. Then there is a large black circle with 10 small red circles inside. That means one red circle is 1/10th of a black circle. Of those red circles, 8 are filled, so that means 0.8 units. Rinse and repeat.
I definitely did not understand the control panel, but it makes sense now it's been explained. :)
By the way, there appears to be an error in the HTML of the walkthrough, under Red Pocket Universe - Cube Puzzles.
I hope so, vulpisfoxfire! I'm already excited for Worldgate 4, and after I play it I want to have a single unified experience to send to all my friends.
Ah, good explanation, cu! That finally clicked it into place in my rusty brain.
A bit of constructive criticism for the sequence puzzle? I think I have an idea of why it's so difficult for people, and maybe I can suggest how to improve it. I hope I'm doing this spoiler thing right!
I think the big issue with that puzzle is that the nine black dots are shown in a different format from the rest of the numbers, thus making them look like they're not a part of the same puzzle. I spent several minutes flailing over that one, because I couldn't even figure out if the nine black dots were even a part of the solution because they looked so different. If they were done in the same groupings-of-ten-with-dots-colored-in-to-represent-numbers style as the rest of the solution, it would make a LOT more sense. Plus, it would make the fact that there's no circle surrounding them more obvious--given that all the other dots had circles around them, I was trying to figure out if they were keys for multiple different puzzles or something! I don't think the cube puzzle is as bad, especially since you get entries in your journal for every weight (which makes it obvious that the colors will be important), but I think a simple change of conveyance would got a long way to making that puzzle more intuitive. :D
can someone get me bet6ter directions after the
part where you get the metal gear and the lodestone
It just says to work your way back but I lost my way.
A bit of the ending doesn't quite make sense. I hit a point in the game where I have the D-Cores, the Exodus key, and I'm back at my home dig site. So why am I going to go back and hand the D-Cores over? I'm already free!
Also, a minor bug. At one point I had more items in inventory than could be displayed on the bar, and I couldn't find any way to scroll the inventory to see the hidden items.
Still, great game!
Now I'm puzzling over the secret ending.
don't mean to sound like i'm spamming or anything but has anyone had a chance to check out my problem above yet?
Yay! Another Worldgate! This series just keeps getting better and better. I loved this, and I can't wait for episode 4.
^^ Not sure what the problem is in the first place...
Have you installed the gear yet?
In examining all of the machines, you will see that one of them has four square receptacles...that's the one where you'll want to place the lodestone cube - as well as the other three cubes.
wyloch
no i'm talking about where it says to get the lode and the gear. it was in some machine I think. the next step says "from here, work your way back" and I keep going around in circles.
Minor flaw:
When trying to open the door with the hand-reader in the red pocket universe a second time, the door "jumps" to the button and opens again, which looks rather strange.
And also:
It affects both the inside and the outside view of the door.
wait in the dome area there is the journey man 2 music from the leonardo da vinci timezone!
Found this game series after I played the first one. Numbers 2 and 3 are very frustrating to me. The second one had little glitches like the power station where you had to use the three crystals. I had to use a walk through. Sometimes they worked and sometimes they didn't. Also the deep space atmosphere was really neat at first but after awhile I felt dizzy. So I abandoned it.
Number three has a full blown glitch.
This is from the walk through here:
Insert the GRAVITY REVERSAL PAD into the lower slot. The ball will float up.
Immediately remove the pad and place it into the other slot in the center of the square. You have to do this very quickly.
You'll know you did it right when the ball floats up and lands by the button.
I can place the gravity reversal pad in the first slot but when the ball rises and I click on the pad, the pad returns to inventory, when I click on it in the inventory, my mouse cursor disappears along with the pad and does not return until the ball returns to the bottom.
My guess is that after all these years, the browsers may be a factor. I am using Firefox.
