Follow Zoe through Classrooms, finish the electrokinesis test, cross the High Risk Chamber, clear the atrium, and interact with the TV in Main Test Chamber V-E2.
In The House in Distress, the active objective is Reach the Oldest House Fault. The route takes Dylan through the testing wing and back to a sealed chamber, where Zoe can open the final doors.

Get through Classrooms and reach the electrokinesis test
The first security door is marked Clearance Level 18. Zoe opens the way through Classrooms with her clearance.
From the office area, the testing room is recognizable by its orange wall units and switches on the floor. Once Dylan is inside, the doors close. Completing the test opens the exit.
Complete the electrokinesis test and open the exit
The wall holds a three-by-three grid of Power Cores. Televisions above the active cores display the target arrangement. Strike the wall nodes to leave only the required cores powered; a correct arrangement changes the screens to the next test.
For each test, strike the wall nodes to match the configuration shown on the active monitors. When the screens change, adjust the powered nodes to match the next displayed configuration.
The final display calls for a cross: power every node in the middle row and middle column. The wall mounts can extend into platforms when struck, letting you climb from lower mounts toward higher nodes. Green screens, the success announcement, and the opening exit doors mark the end of the test.
Change the active nodes between patterns instead of clearing the whole grid each time. For the square, keep the top corners on, switch off bottom middle, and add the bottom corners.
Follow Zoe through the High Risk Chamber
After the test, the route doubles back through the side storage area before reaching an observation room with overturned chairs and a screen showing Dr. Darling. Rejoin Zoe at the upper monitoring station. Vault the planter on the upper terrace. In the doorway conversation, “You’re right!” is the response selected along this route.
Beyond the yellow office, the High Risk Chamber leads toward the P6 Mobile Containment area. A glass containment cube stands in the middle. Red emergency lighting comes on as Dylan rejoins Zoe; the doors open for the pair to leave.
Clear the Downtown 2 atrium and return to the entrance
In the circular atrium, Hiss enemies attack from the floor and above. The encounter includes telekinetic throws, ranged attacks, melee strikes, and close-range psychic blasts. Evade the red laser fire while clearing the floating targets, then finish the distorted enemies near the Federal Bureau of Control seal.
As the fight ends, the location notification reads DOWNTOWN 2, and +16 Source appears. The subsequent visit to a side room with an armchair brings up Talent Point +1. From there, the route returns across the atrium toward the stairs and balcony overlooking the main entrance.
Enter Main Test Chamber V-E2 and reach the ritual
Look for MAIN TEST CHAMBER V-E2 on the wall outside the final chamber and above its blast door. Bypassing this sector’s high-risk doors requires Clearance Level 18, also marked on the terminal at this entrance. Zoe waits beside the access panel, which she uses to open the large chamber doors during a cutscene.
Enter Main Test Chamber, filled with mannequins and overgrown with yellow flowers, and approach the CRT television at the floral clearing’s center. This is the chamber’s central Object of Power. Interact with it to start the ritual: your Quest Log objective changes to Complete the Ritual.
