What is Punched Tape
Punched Paper Tapes are special items that can be found in Fontaine. They are located in towers, and special devices are needed to decipher them. To see how many punched paper tapes are available and read the description, open the Inventory and go to the tab "Exercise".
Where to find Punched Tape in Fontaine
Total in Fontaine exists 6 punched tapes. Some of them are located in towers in the Liffey District and the Institute of Kinetic Energy and are associated with the task "Treacherous Light of the Depths".
No. 1 Punched tape in the tower
To find the punched tape from the tower, head north from the New Fontaine Research Institute. Use the teleportation point and follow the road up the mountain where the tall building is located. To get inside, climb the wooden stairs on the right side of the building and enter the archway, where the quest will start "In Search of the Past: North".
Go down the steps and solve a small puzzle with the energy transfer terminal. Activate the device and aim at the drive on the left, then press Enter and take the energy. This will open a age down. Move deeper into the tower, where you will encounter three skirmishersthat must be overcome.
After defeating the enemies, take the portable energy storage device and rise higher with it. Place it next to the terminal and enter viewfinder mode. Point your sight at the storage device and fill it with energy, then leave the mode and go upstairs with the portable storage device.
Place it between the table and the terminal to open up an even higher age. Pick up the device again and carry it up the stairs, where you drop it next to the stabilizer in the center of the room. Activate the pillar and hit it when the ring is in the area with the blue light.
After successfully completing the test, a age to the top will open.
Explore the terminal and pull the lever to get the punched tape from the tower in the vicinity of the Research Institute.

Go inside and defeat Cryo Fatui at the entrance. Climb higher, where you need to fight two more enemies. Then go to the very top, where the task will start "In Search of the Past: West".
Go back one floor below and read the note on the table. Leave the tower and find a camp nearby to defeat the enemies there and look at the message on the box. Then head northwest and hit the cauldron with a normal attack. Three Fatui will appear and need to be dealt with.
Enter back into the tower and go up. Activate the stabilizer and complete the test with it to climb the stairs to the final room.

Go back up through the cameras and give the energy to the empty storage device. This will open the age above.
Swim into the hole that opens and activate the terminal to get the Punched Tape you fished out of the water.
