Before you get to embark on your journey, however, you'll need to crack some sigil doors by locating sigils locked behind various puzzles in the game's introduction. The final puzzle of the introduction, Ascension Awaits, synthesizes all the mechanics introduced in previous puzzles—fans, wires, hexahedrons, connectors and pressure plates—into a test of your problem-solving abilities.

Upon entering the puzzle chamber, you'll see a deactivated fan in front of the entrance, connected to a wall switch. This wall switch will activate the fan, but hold off on that: you don't want the fan turned on yet.

Walk forward and pick up the hexahedron block on the ground to the right of the energy wall, and place it onto the fan.

Next, pick up the connector to the left of the energy wall and return to the fan. Connect this connector to the red generator on the wall above the wall switch, and also to the red receiver behind the energy wall. Place this connector on top of the hexahedron block.

For the moment, the red power line will become blocked by the energy wall. To fix this, use the wall switch, which will turn on the fan and elevate both the hexahedron and the connector so that the red receiver is powered on.

After this, the energy wall will open and the final sigil of the introduction will be yours for the taking.
