Locations
How to complete the main path
Follow these steps to navigate from start to exit while noting chest spots.
Step 1
Go down the hallway from the start and turn left at the corner. Duck under the static lasers ahead.
Step 2
Move forward along the path until two pairs of lasers block ahead. Time your pass—the farther pair pulses on and off.
Step 3
Continue onward past lasers.
Approach the visible crate; the floor collapses, dropping you below regardless of timing.
Step 4
From the drop point, judge jump distances carefully across lasers.
Land on the far side and hit the jump pad to reach the upper container.
Step 5
Face rising lasers that activate row by row. Wait for gaps and leap across both sections in sequence.
Step 6
Descend the following path.
Activate the jump pad to climb the container, then grab the first rappel rope upward.
Step 7
Sprint post-rappel to the hall’s end rope—new beams spawn mid-run, narrowing the floor rapidly.
Step 8
Rappel up, veer left into the red-lit tunnel. Note the second chest visible on the right beforehand.
Step 9
Exit tunnel and drop down. Maneuver through dense static beams to the central Protocol Space exit.
How to get chest 1
This crate sits during the first ascent after step 6.
Step 1
After step 5, follow to the jump pad and ascend the container.
Step 2
Grab the rappel rope and climb up.
Step 3
Turn around mid- or post-rappel to scan surroundings.
Step 4
Spot and reach the crate on the nearby platform.
How to get chest 2
Visible early but accessible late, near step 8.
Step 1
Complete up to step 7’s second rappel.
Step 2
Before entering the left red tunnel, look right.
Step 3
Backtrack slightly to the ledge from the step 3 collapse view.
Step 4
Approach and open the crate.
How to get chest 3
Found right after the final drop.
Step 1
Finish the red tunnel in step 8.

Jump down into the beam-filled area.

Immediately turn around instead of heading center.
