Scorn: How to Open the Shutters

Scorn is full of difficult puzzles and at the end of the first Act, players will need to open the Shutters around an old tree to get out of the strange place.

In this guide, we’ll tell you how to open the shutters in Scorn.

Opening the Shutters

You’ll get to the Old Tree area after getting through the Big Gate and in order to use the consoles in the Room of the Old Tree, you need to get the First Weapon of the game. The weapon will help you use the console in the room. There are two consoles in total that you need to use with the weapon to reveal the pillar and then the pillar will be taken to the tree location. Both of these consoles are opposite to each other so when you use one of the consoles, just run to the other side to use the other.

Be careful when you use the console because it’ll also free the flying creatures in the area that you can kill by shooting at them with the weapon. After getting both of the pillars and clearing all of the flying creatures, go to the middle of the area where the old tree is located and use the main console. The console will be used to place three pillars in the tree. Two of the pillars are the ones that you freed from the other two consoles and one pillar is already at this location.

Using the console at the tree will give you control of a machine that will take a pillar and then place it on the tree then a mechanism will appear under the pillar that you have to use to fill the pillar with white fluid and then the Shutter of one side will start to open. You need to repeat this process three times to open all of the shutters but when you place the third pillar in the tree and use the mechanism to fill the pillar with White Fluid, the tree will burst and a cutscene will start which will end Act 1.
