Where Is the Blue Tower?

Look for the blue tube-shaped tower standing over the open ground in the middle of the area. That tower is the Blue Tower.

The map below draws the Blue route: the Blue Tower source, its five key cutters and the Train plinth destination, with the Blue Area challenges underneath.

Return Five Rewards to the Blue Tower

The Blue Tower has five reward slots. Bring five challenge rewards back to the tower and it releases the Blue Key.

What it needs
5 challenge rewards

Rewards returned

0 / 5 returned

Need 5 more rewards.

The tower counts rewards, not challenge names, so any five valid rewards you carry back will do.

Solving a challenge and carrying its reward back are two separate marks. The slots fill from rewards you returned, not from solved challenges.

Take the Blue Key Through Five Cutters

The released key still has to pass through five cutters, in order. Bring the current Blue Key to each one.

    The Train plinth

The cutters are ordered. A key that skipped one is not in its finished state, which is the usual reason the Train plinth stays dead.

Take the Finished Blue Key to the Train

The Blue route ends at the Train plinth. Place the finished key there and the Train gets one step closer to running.

What does the Blue Tower unlock?

  • • The Blue Tower route unlocks the island Train system.
  • • The finished key activates the Train plinth, which is how the Train becomes available at all.
Train:
Locked

The Blue route does not open the Chairlift, the Tunnels or the Map Room.

Fix the Train

Is the Train moving?

The key is at the plinth, so the Blue route is done. This last answer decides what you look at next.

Big Ride comes from boarding and riding the Train, not from unlocking it.

Why Is the Train Locked or Still Stopped?

Work down the list. The first answer that matches your state is the thing that is still open.

The Blue Key was never released
The Blue Tower still wants its five rewards. Bring them back before looking at cutters. Rapporter cinq récompenses
I have the Blue Key, so where next?
Go to the first cutter that is not complete on the Blue route. The route stays on that cutter until it is done. Trouver ma prochaine découpeuse
I finished all five cutters
The key is finished now. Carry it to the Train plinth and place it there. Destination : socle du train
The key is at the plinth and the Train still will not move
This is no longer a Blue Tower problem. The Train has its own activation state to check, so continue with the Train guide. Le train ne fonctionne pas ?

Explore the Blue Area

Useful for exploration and completion. These sit apart from the Blue Tower route tracker above.

5 challenges in the Blue Area

Pour l’exploration et la complétion à 100 %. Cette jauge n’indique pas la route bleue.

A solved challenge is not a reward returned, so every entry has two marks. Only returned rewards fill the tower slots above.

What Comes After the Blue Tower?

Once the Train is running, the Blue Tower route is complete.

The other major routes run side by side. Pick the system you want next, or let the progression assistant choose from your saved state.

No coloured tower has to come before another one, so nothing needs the Blue route finished first.
