AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
A comprehensive walkthrough for the Gate to the Otherworld quest and Scholastone Institute puzzle in Crimson Desert, detailing the button sequence, battery placement, and the subsequent Tenebrum boss fight.
Crimson Desert continues to test player wits as they explore the massive open world of Pywel, particularly during Chapter 4's Forbidden Knowledge storyline. A major roadblock for many players is the Gate to the Otherworld quest, which features the tricky Scholastone Institute puzzle. According to a detailed walkthrough by Marloes Valentina Stella over at Polygon, cracking this puzzle requires heading underground to the large chamber, locating the square button console, and inputting the correct sequence to unlock the next phase.
Once the button puzzle is solved and the lever is pulled back, the focus shifts to powering up Octavius's experiment. Players must use Axiom Force to maneuver the floating electric cube batteries into their designated square sockets before securing them with a Force Palm. After the unstable core is activated, you will need to yank on it with Axiom Force until it triggers an explosion. That clears the puzzle phase, but players should prepare immediately for the Tenebrum boss fight.
Overcoming Tenebrum successfully wraps up the Gate to the Otherworld quest and grants access to the Spire of the Stars. Navigating massive open world action RPGs can be daunting, so utilizing community resources and interactive maps helps streamline resource grinding, life skills like fishing and mining, and tackling other Abyss puzzles.
