How to solve Passing Through in The Talos Principle 2

Passing Through is one of the pairs of Lost Puzzles situated on the Desolate Island in The Talos Principle 2. The region revolves around the Control ability, which allows you to transition between bodies to navigate and solve puzzles.

To begin solving this puzzle, go to the Energy Gate on the left side and assume Control of the nearby Body. Lift the Jammer and deactivate the Energy Gate. Afterward, rush outside to the left, where a Platform item lies on the ground. Retrieve it and return to stand beside the Jammer within the jail.

Shift Control to the other Body and navigate to the back right corner of the main area. Pick up the Hexahedron and bring it back to the Jammer. Place it in the jail, making sure it's placed behind the Body holding the Platform above.

Pick up the Jammer and jump on the Hexahedron for elevation. Align the Jammer on the platform held aloft, angling it to jam the Energy Gate. Now, you've got a mobile Jammer that traverses both sides of the Energy Gate seamlessly.

Control the Body holding the Platform/Jammer and walk to the opposite side of the Energy Gate in the main area. In the final step, use the Jammer and target the Energy Gate with the Progress Wheel.
