'''Megastructure East''' is a story area that the player visits after they clear the first three main areas of the map. The player explores the interior of the pyramid shaped Megastructure for the first time.

Megastructure East
Short name: Meg. East
Area Type: Megastructure
Previous Story Area: Eastern Wetlands
Next Story Area: Desolate Island


Megastructure East is a story area that the player visits after they clear the first three main areas of the map. The player explores the interior of the pyramid shaped Megastructure for the first time.

Once inside, there is an initial exploration section where you will find a terminal and an opportunity to talk to Byron. After Melville remotely opens a door for you and go through some corridors, you will eventually find Yaqut, who has arrived via an alternate path using an elevator. There you will have a chance to talk to him, too.

Continuing forwards you will find an open space, a big golden gate ahead with three receivers (red, green and blue), three gun-shaped turrets of the same colours as the receivers, each preceded by a puzzle, and several bridge gates that allow you to connect all the sections with tetromino bridges. You will need to solve each of the puzzles to gain access to the levers that activate the laser turrets.

Switching on the three turrets will open the gate, finally letting you access the terminal NOEMA-03 and learn some shocking news about Athena.

Tetromino bridges

Unlike the main areas of the game, bridges in the Megastructure interior can be solved right away and you don’t need to solve puzzles or complete any task to acquire the tetrominoes.
