Portal to Unicorn Island

Find the Strange Machine at Tesla Lab. Repeated lightning strikes activate a portal to Unicorn Island; it is unsellable and cannot be deposited.

Activate

  1. Place the machine. Move it where lightning can strike it.
  2. Apply lightning. The article documents Electrocutioner shots, Holy Water, Lightning Rod setups and Strange Mask lightning.
  3. Watch for blue light. Stop when the portal opens. The article says entering is not required for the portal challenge reward.
