The battery puzzle in the Biodiversity Labs section of Poppy Playtime Chapter 5 isn't the only power puzzle you'll have to solve to beat the game, but it is the first one you will encounter. It may seem simple from the get-go, but it's actually not super easy to figure out, especially if you're playing Poppy Playtime for the first time.

This guide will walk you through the first battery puzzle so you can progress through the rest of the game.

Biodiversity Labs Battery Puzzle Guide for Poppy Playtime Chapter 5

After passing through the room with the large tree with the orange pockets you have to break, you'll reach a new area. Find the yellow door labeled "Utility," and you'll see a battery on the ground that you can carry with you once you're inside the utility room. Turn around and climb onto the boxes to find a panel you can destroy with your Pressurized hand.

Next, you will see two battery slots side by side on the wall. Place the first battery into one of the slots, and then you'll find a second battery nearby. Place that one into the second slot. Now comes the tricky part!

You'll have to use one of your hands (it doesn't matter which) to grab the switch right in the middle of the two battery holders. If you do this, the wire coming from your hand will turn blue, indicating it's carrying electrical power.

Now, do you see those two power boxes with a thunderbolt icon in the middle of the room? There are red poles coming out of the top of these boxes, and you'll need to essentially wrap your blue wire around both of these poles and then shoot your other hand at the electrical switch on the opposite side of the room to unlock the door nearby.

Here's the exact way you want to maneuver around the room in order to complete the battery puzzle in the Biodiversity Labs. We will also throw in a video down below so you can see exactly how we managed to solve it!

  • Face the battery slots and shoot one of your arms at the switch in between them, and hold your arm there.
  • Back up, and move left, and around the first power box (the left one).
  • Repeat the same motion to wrap the wire a second time around the same power box.
  • Then, go past the battery slots and walk to the right, going behind the second power box (passing the terminal on the wall).
  • Walk through the middle of the area and loop back around the second power box as you just did.
  • Once you reach the power terminal on the wall, you should see two blue thunderbolt icons lit up, indicating that you've properly connected the power.
  • Now, shoot your unused hand at the switch, and the red door to the right will open, leading you to the next segment of your Poppy Playtime adventure.
