Everyone already understands that the game The Medium is packed with a bunch of puzzles and quests - for that, special thanks to the Polish developers.

Creators designed it so that each new level is harder than the previous one, so by the end of the game, the quests become very challenging. One of such quests is the pump station puzzle.

In this guide, we will tell you how to complete the puzzle with the pump station and how to defeat the monster in the game The Medium. Let's go!

Solving the Pump Station Puzzle

When you restore power to the control room, carefully examine the panel with 5 liquid containers. They can be either fully filled or half-filled, depending on the button you press. First, work with the containers at the top, and keep the ones at the bottom open.

Follow the steps below:

1. Control the water flow: direct it to the middle and right tanks. Pay attention to the image on top.

2. Leave the room and go downstairs (the stairs were previously flooded with water).

3. Use the energy shield to protect Marianne. Then find the valve and open it.

4. Now turn around 180 degrees and turn off the electrical switch, then return to the control panel.

   

5. Press the buttons on the panel to fill the top left and middle reservoirs with water.

6. Go to the right. Enter the room located to the west.

7. Pay attention to the cupboard; there is a valve. Use it to open another water reservoir.

   

8. Now drain the water from the upper middle and right reservoirs. Direct the water flow to the left of the central reservoir.

9. The door is open, enter it. Be careful, there's a monster inside.

How to Defeat the Monster Without Engaging in Combat

When the puzzle is solved, you find yourself in a room with the monster, and it seems to be hostile towards you. Don't worry, passing by it is much easier than it seems:

• As soon as the video ends, enter the spirit world and head through the door to the left of the monster.

• Keep going to the end of the corridor and don't stop. The creature will follow you, so be careful.

• If the monster manages to grab the girl's spirit immediately, immediately return to the real world.

• You should turn on the electricity using the switch near the door.

• The electric charge will flow through the ground and severely hit the monster.

• That's it, you have defeated the creature, it is defeated, and the path is now open for you.
