Overview

The large circular puzzle room is composed of a central area has a missing Fan leading to a large platform overhead, as well as three Blue doors controlled by Pressure plates. On the left and right are symetrical-looking area with a blue and green Emitter respectively, one Connector and a set of two doors connecting to the back area. In this back area are two Clones and a set of Pressure plates that lead back to the central area. A Fan can propel the player on a ledge that goes all around the room, each side leading to a Pressure plate used to reveal six Receivers that must all be powered to gain access to the underground room where the Progress Wheel lies.
