After you've progressed through the first open-world section of Atomic Heart, defeated Hedgie, and solved the puzzles to enter the center, you'll be tasked with finding four of the Tereshkova's (called Claire) limbs. These are basically elaborate fetch quests, but with some puzzles thrown in along the way.

This short guide covers how to get each of the four limbs, as well as puzzle solutions and other tips.

Proving That You're Human

The first quest in this section makes you prove that you are human by bringing the Tereshkova three items. Here's where to find each of the three items.

The Symbol Of The Motherland

Symbol Of The Motherland - Hammer

This is an easy one - located in a side room, you'll find a golden statue of a worker. Grab the hammer from their hand and take the hammer (the symbol of the Motherland) back to the desk.

The Voice Of The Motherland

Voice Of The Motherland Radio

Located within the desk area behind the Tereshkova, you'll find a radio on the floor that is the "voice of the Motherland."

The Sprout Of The Motherland

Lastly, the Sprout of the Motherland is the pot of flowers located in a side room. You will need to use Telekinesis to lift the boxes onto the platform and raise the cover over the flowers.

Locating All Of Claire's Limbs

VASHKOVA (2)

Once you've completed the initial "Darwin test" and followed the Tereshkova through the exhibit, you will now be tasked with finding four missing limbs for the Tereshkova called Claire. You can do these in any order depending on which marker you follow. Skip forward to the area that you're struggling with.

Left Leg

First up, Claire's left leg. This will send you through various exhibition areas on the way to the Service Room.

On the way, you will encounter these relatively straightforward puzzles that require you to rotate a piece of scenery until it allows you access through to the next room, as shown below.

Scenery Rotation Puzzles Atomic Heart

On the first puzzle, you need to rotate the wheel to three dots.

Moving on to the next area, you'll need to defeat several robots before handling the next puzzle. You will need to rotate the first wheel to one dot, as shown below.

VASHKOVA (3)

Then head into the scene and rotate the next wheel until dot one. Then head back outside again and rotate the first wheel to two dots. This will let you walk through and climb up to the next platform.

Follow the marker to the next section, then defeat the various robots. There is another rotation puzzle to complete.

Rotate the platforms until you are about to rotate from four to three. Dive into the gap between the two platforms, so you fall into the middle section. In the middle, rotate the wheel to number one until you see the platform like this.

VASHKOVA (4)

Climb up the platforms. At the top, you'll see yet another wheel. Turn this one and you'll drop. Climb up the yellow pipe and then jump across to the open door.

Defeat the robots then collect the leg from the back of the car. One limb down!

Right Arm

VASHKOVA (5)

Next up, the Tereshkova's right arm.

This limb is not complicated at all - you just need to defeat an entire room of robots., then complete a game of Snake. Yes, really, this is a super-sized version of Snake.

  • Don't hit the edges, or yourself
  • Collect the little diamond each time
  • The game ends when your snake gets big enough

After you finish the puzzle, you will receive the Right Arm.

For the Head, you'll need to clear a room of Sprouts. Make sure to clear out the Spawners around the room. Do this by hitting them with your shock ability and then shooting/hitting them with a weapon.

The Sprouts will resurrect various bodies around the hall. Kill the spawners otherwise they will just keep coming.

Progress on to the next room and defeat more robots. The Tereshkova tells you that you'll need to access the power room.

Follow the marker, then swim up the large green polymer tube. Then complete some simple parkour using the yellow beams at the top of the tube. Complete the parkour, then finish the Relay puzzle at the top of the tower. Solution below.

VASHKOVA (6)

Keep following the markers, then complete the "maze for kids." You can rotate the puzzle so that the ball rolls around to the small hole on the other side. Use the walls to your advantage. No special solution here.
