Then, transfer the energy to the second terminal to the right. Then, select the next one on the top of the metal door and activate the red device near the cage. Then, exit the screen and open the door of the cage.
2. Escaping From The Cage With The Help Of Paimon

4. Solving the Gear Puzzles
Once you enter from the open door, you must defeat two Clockwork Mekas. After dealing with them, get on the lift and go to the next level. Then, you will eventually come to an area with many gears. The door to the exit is up on the wall, and you will have to solve the puzzle to get there. There are two puzzles. Eventhough the first one is easy, the second one is a bit tricky to solve.
- Puzzle 01: To solve this, you must move the wheel down and rotate it until two pipes are connected.
- Puzzle 02: First, bring the wheel down and rotate the pipe to the right to the correct position. Then again, bring the wheel back and rotate the second pipe until it becomes vertical. After that, move the pipe to the location, and it will connect two pipes and solve the puzzle.
Then you can fly to the open door above and enter from it.
5. Defeating Coutrot
Once you enter from the door, follow the path, and at the end of the path, there are two Clockwork Mekas you must defeat. Once you defeat both, you must get to the platform below and solve another gear puzzle. However, it is not difficult since you have to connect two pipes by rotating them.
Then get to the previous platform from the ladder and open the path from the device. After that, defeat all Clockwork Mekas and follow the path until you find another lift. Once you get to the next level from the lift, you will meet Bricole and Kuisel. You will learn from Bricole that Kuisel is Coutrot, and he has done many dangerous, harmful experiments in the workshop.
