Vault of the Beamcasters
Checked 14 October 2026. The west world. Colored beams grant tools. The old name was The Promise.
What I checked
Community routes from joric/ootss, commit 86e9aa79c31c57a14bda600d7ba93e4d18bce403, checked 14 October 2026. These sequences have not been replay-tested by this guide. Release_v1 is an upstream map-layer label, not a verified game build number. Patches can change checkpoints or invalidate older moves.
How beams are described
The official west-world description follows an explorer whose gem beams enable abilities such as phasing, breaking boulders and long-distance teleportation. Plan for the required beams to be active at the same time; a color grants a rule, not a guaranteed route through every obstacle.
The base promesst1_and_2 group has 12 markers and two nonempty routes: beam_rooms and target_practice_gem. promesst3 has five markers and none. The seven-marker gems group also has no sequence, so the high-demand 'gems maze' search remains an actual solution gap rather than being assigned to a convenient filename.
Two published base-group routes
beam_rooms and target_practice_gem have community move sequences. They are not all solutions for the Vault. promesst1_streamlined has an empty record in solutions.txt and is not counted as a route, even though the upstream video list mentions it.
Related groups beams_and_mirrors (39), beams_and_stones (36), beams_and_basic_heroes (62), beaming_objects (9) and gems (7) have coordinates but no nonempty route in this source snapshot. Specific 'reflective beams', 'beam shatter' and 'cart rod' puzzles need a board match and a verified sequence before being labeled solved.
Promise versus Beamcasters
Use Vault of the Beamcasters for the 2026 game. Use PROMESST for Sean Barrett's earlier puzzle game, which the west world is based on. Mixing the two names is why search results collide.
If a video or marker still says The Promise, it was filed before or without the rename. The launch note is the correction.
Community puzzle routes and locations
33 locations in this index. The full snapshot contains 920 locations and 106 matching community routes, not a complete solution for every game puzzle.
Data: joric/ootss,Unlicense, captured 14 October 2026 at commit 86e9aa79c31c. Names are community/internal identifiers, not confirmed display names. These routes have not been replay-tested by this site on a named game build.
33 locations
U/D/L/R mean up/down/left/right; a number repeats the preceding move (R2 = right twice). X/C/V are action-key symbols in the community recorder, not a verified console binding chart. Match the exact board and starting state before following a route.

Questions
What is the gems maze solution?
No official route was published. This page will not invent one. The beam rule is to light the color combination the board is teaching.
Is The Promise a different world?
It was the previous name of this west world, and it is also the name of the source game.
