How to complete Gate to the Other World in Crimson Desert

Soon after you arrive at Scholastone you'll be asked to help Octavius with an experiment to open a portal to the abyss. The head of the academy enlists your aid in setting up the apparatus, and the Gate to the Other World quest is almost entirely puzzle-based, similar to repairing the kilns for Grimnir in Chapter 4.

Drop down from the courtyard and glide to the floor below, then interact with the lock device to begin. You must press nine tiles so they all light up; press them in this order: middle tile of the middle row, top left, bottom right, top right, bottom left. After interacting with the switch to start it, head back upstairs via the staircase off the left side of the pillared section and use Axiom Force to move each sparking blue battery into position.

Hit each battery with Force Palm to slot it; once all four are in place Octavius begins the experiment. The portal becomes unstable and you need to use Axiom Force to remove the unstable core by grabbing the glowing ball and pulling it to one side.
