Puzzle elements


Overview

When you enter the puzzle, you find yourself in the large open room. On the left is a gravshifter standing on a gravity surface. There is another gravity surface above you on the left side, as well as some on the ground. There is a pressure plate nearby, connected to a fan. On the other end of the room is another room that is blocked half by a blue door and half by a purple barrier. There is a pressure plate inside that opens the blue door. There is one gravity surface on the floor, and two gravity surfaces on the top of the room, one of which has a hexahedron stuck to it. The progress wheel is visible behind some grates, and there is a gravity surface above the progress wheel.
