How to unlock the Keep achievement in The Witness - Definitive Guide

There are two separate ways to complete the Keep. It's generally one of the easiest sections in the game after the symmetry island.

The keep is the castle in the middle of the field between the town and the marsh.
As you enter you will see a bunch of cut hedges, and can walk through towards a puzzle than you don't complete with your cursor but actually with your footsteps.

Each puzzle opens a new door.

Puzzle 3 - this one is a bit tricky. You have to do it in reverse as there is a blocker in the path.
Stand at the end of the puzzle and from a distance, reset the puzzle on the board. Then start it from the end and go backward

Puzzle 4 - This is a symmetry puzzle but u only need to walk one side.

Climb the tower and complete the final puzzle to activate the laser

Maze Side

The other option is to complete the 4 mazes in the front of the keep tower.
Moving in a clockwise fashion

Maze 1 - draw the only possible path

Maze 2 - draw the path that is not blocked by tall grass

Maze 3 - draw the path that has no sound of breaking branches as you step

Maze 4 - draw the path that exists on the panel and in the maze, the rest of the directions don't exist in both

Finally climb to the top of the tower and complete the maze by memorizing your answers to all the mazes on ground level. It may help to draw this with a pen.

Other than for completionist's sake, is there any reason to complete both final puzzles? I did both sides, just popped the achievement after completing the hedge maze final puzzle.

No reason to complete both. You can get full 1000G in this game completing only one side of the keep

I think i found a much better solution for the final puzzle on the "glass side". It matches the ground puzzles much better. Still not perfect but much more logical smile https://i.imgur.com/XzLYt5l.png

Puzzle 3 on the first side. You don't need to do it from the rear. You can walk in between the lines (on the wood) to get around the path blocked by an object.

The 3rd puzzle is incorrect after it's reset. The correct path is on the wall, but the wrong path is taken when showing where to walk.

In order to unlock this trophy, you must complete the Keep area, located to the top middle of the island (refer to map if needed - named "Keep"). The Keep area begins in the center of a castle and ends in a tower overlooking the castle grounds. There are 5 puzzles to solve in this area in order to reach the laser.

If you are in need of assistance, you can refer to the video below:

The Keep area is a big castle located in the back of the map between the Shady Trees area and the Treehouse. There are two sections of puzzles in the keep: a group of 4 hedge mazes and a group of 4 life sized puzzles. The hedge mazes use the environment, and so don't require any prior knowledge of other puzzles. The life sized puzzle use Tetris shapes and Symmetry among other things. 

Note that you only have to complete half of the Keep to access the tower in the center, so one side of the hedge mazes and one side of the life sized puzzles. Once you've completed half, the tower opens up. Climb to the top and there are two puzzles, one of each side. Again, you only have to solve one of these two puzzles to activate the laser, which unlocks the achievement. 

For a walkthrough of the Keep, use THIS LINK for solutions to all the puzzles.
