There is a hexahedron in the room, and the fan is angled towards a raised platform with the progress wheel.

Hints

A basic hint:

[ hint ]

Since the name of the puzzle is Phase Entry, you will have to figure out what kinds of barriers you can teleport across, and what you cannot. There are multiple types of barriers here to experiment with, a grill wall, a blue wall, and a purple barrier. You should make a note of these rules, because this will be important in future puzzles.

• 
  Step 1: Teleport into the first room by looking at the teleporter across the grill wall.
• 
  Step 2: Walk into the second room across the purple barrier. Pick up the hexahedron, and teleport into the first room with it in your hands.
• 
  Step 3: Remove the teleporter from the pressure plate. Place the hexahedron on the fan, then place the teleporter on the hexahedron. Step on the pressure plate momentarily to push everything to the second room.
• 
  Step 4: Detach the fan blade, and then teleport to the second room while holding the fan blades.
• 
  Step 5: Attach the fan blades to the fan, place the teleporter on one of the pressure plates and the hexahedron on the other, then fly onto the platform with the progress wheel.
