Maquette - The Gardens chapter explained

How to complete the first chapter in Maquette.

The Gardens is the first chapter in Maquette and it begins, as the name suggests, in a garden.

You won't actually do any proper puzzle solving in this chapter, but it will show you have keys and levers can be used in Maquette. Despite this, the area is quite sizable, so feel free to explore.

Throughout Maquette you can also collect a variety of trophies, all of which are listed in our Maquette trophy guide, and we also have a Maquette walkthrough which will guide you through every puzzle.

The Gardens chapter in Maquette explained

The Gardens is the first chapter in Maquette and, to begin with, you simply need to follow the path, until you reach a door which is opened by pulling the lever next to it.

Now continue to follow the path until you reach the next locked gate.

To open this gate, you need to head to your right where you'll find a key lying in front of the pond.

Pick up this key and, holding it out in front of you, return to the gate. Walk up to the gate and the key will automatically open the gate.

You now need to take the key out of the lock and repeat the action to unlock the third gate.

To finish this chapter, all you have to do now is walk towards the golden tree.

You'll now find yourself in the second chapter of Maquette, called The Maquette. Don't forget to check out our Maquette trophy guide.
