Call of the Sea features several intricate puzzles that require careful observation and clue gathering across the mysterious island. Among the most notable challenges in Chapter 2 is the lens aligner device, which plays a crucial role in burning precise eye patterns onto a glass lens. Understanding how to locate the required clues and operate the machine correctly ensures smooth progression into the stargazing and well puzzles that follow.
Locating the Eye Clues Across the Excavation Area
Before attempting to interact with the lens device, players must explore the excavation campsite and surrounding ruins to record essential environmental clues. Down near the well area, Norah can find three distinct eye markings carved into stone surfaces. Inspecting all three wall carvings prompts Norah to sketch the exact configurations into her journal for later reference.
It is also essential to solve the nearby tiki totem puzzle in the adjacent cabin prior to finalizing the machine's setup. Accessing all necessary notes prevents unnecessary trial and error when adjusting the burn-hole apparatus. Taking the time to double-check Norah's journal ensures every required pattern is fully documented.
Operating the Lens Device and Aligning Patterns
With all three eye sketches secured in the journal, head back to the cliffside hut containing the burn-hole machine. Interact with the contraption and overlay the recorded eye designs with the ink blot templates on the screen. Rotating and adjusting the plates until the alignment perfectly matches Norah's notes triggers the burning process.
Once the machine finishes marking the glass, interact with the device again to retrieve the finished burnt lens. This custom lens acts as a vital tool that unlocks the next phase of Chapter 2's environmental mysteries.
Using the Burnt Lens with the Telescope
After acquiring the burnt lens, make your way to the nearby telescope perched overlooking the island landscape. Place the newly crafted lens directly onto the telescope mechanism to reveal a hidden constellation in the sky.
Looking through the eyepiece allows Norah to automatically record the stellar pattern into her notebook. This star map directly reveals the floor button sequence required to solve the subsequent well puzzle and conclude the chapter.
