Puzzle elements
Overview
When you enter the puzzle, you find yourself on the left side of a two column layout.
- On the left side is a fan angled at Room 1 on the right. It is currently inactive, and there is a pressure plate next to it. Further along, there is a long strip of gravity surface along the wall vertically, and then some in the ceiling. On that bit on the ceiling, a hexahedron is placed.
- On the right side, there is a series of three rooms. The first one has a fan angled towards the left area, and a pressure plate next to it. There is a gravshifter available, and another pressure plate that deactivates a blue door leading to the next room.
- The second room on the right side has a connector in it, a half grill barrier across half the room, and a blue receiver next to the door to the next room.
- The third room on the right side has a pressure plate that controls access to the progress wheel.
