Poppy Playtime is known for its memorable characters, both friendly and hostile, and Giblet & Chum aren't an exception in Chapter 5. After meeting up with the friendly duo, players will make their way into the Engineering bay, where they'll need to activate three power sources simultaneously to provide power for Chum and progress to the next area.

How to Solve the Engineering Power Puzzle in Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5
After entering the Engineering bar, Giblet will tell players to restore power to unlock the red doors on the upper platform. There are three main sources of power in the room.
- The Pressure Tube (First Power Light)
- Red Valve (Second Power Light)
- The Trolley/Cart Plug (Third Power Light)
You'll need to activate all power sources at the same time to turn all lights green and move the chained platform to the right side. With that goal in mind, here's the best sequence to start activating the power sources and solve the Engineering puzzle in Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5.
- First, you'll need to charge up the Pressure Tube and pull the lever once the fluid is past the red line to activate it. Now you can free up your hand and head to the next power source.
- Head down from the platform and start turning the valve.
- While you're turning the valve, grab the trolley/cart plug and pull it into the socket.
Once all three power sources in the Engineering bay are active, the hanging platform will start to move to the right. You can release your grip from the red valve after activating it, but you'll need to hold on to the trolley/cart plug to keep it activated.
Keep an eye on all power indicator lights in the room. If one turns off, you know which power source has been disabled, and you can directly head to it to activate it. Make sure to be quick while activating power sources, as the first two are on a timer, while the plug needs to be held.
Keep all the power lights on to power the chained platform. Once the platform reaches the far right, you'll complete the Engineering power puzzle in Poppy Playtime: Chapter 5. Now, all you need to do is grab the hanging platform to reach the upper section. Simply use the Blue Hand on the scanner, and you'll progress to the next area.
