1. Enter the cave through the middle panel which opens every few seconds.
2. Destroy either of the unnamed objects on either side of the cave (they look like bigger versions of the attack turrets). You may want to destroy the one further from the repair golems.
3. Left of the shimmering gate is an unnamed console. The following must be completed before the repair golems fix the turret. You want to cannibalize it using the following steps:
   1. Press Okay → Yes → Yes. Do not close the dialogue window.
   2. Wait for it to give you more options → choose "no" (Second option).
   3. Wait until it cycles, then cycles again and offers a choice with a green arrow. Quickly → choose "Abort auto-abort." (First option)
   4. If you then wait a while it will lower the gate inside and open up a portal. Do not step near this portal until it is calibrated or it will suck you in.
4. Go to the three panels to the right of the gate and set them to show the sequence: 14:xx:xx – 49.xxx – 0.02xxx; it doesn't matter what appears in the "x" digits.
5. Enter the portal. If step (4) was done correctly, you will be teleported to Test Platform 325 near a Magnificent Chest (which is in fact on the "roof" of that cavern, above water level). Otherwise, you will end up somewhere else in the zone. Only the person who set up the panels will reach the chest via the portal. He should be the first person, and the only person, to enter the portal at this time.
6. When you reach the chest, you can submit the correct coordinates using the console there, back to the 3 panels down below; those at the other end must accept those coordinates (i.e. open a panel and simply "Receive" the numbers, which should be already correct) and do nothing else after, except to use the portal — any additional use of the nearby console will prevent this from working. {{verify|see talk page -- some people believe this no longer works, while others point out that people might be missing for other reasons.

Solving the coordinates

The panels to the right of the gate will shift the three coordinates in certain directions based on the option chosen. The numbers will shift in loops; meaning if the first coordinate is already at its lowest register and a player chooses an action that will decrease it further, the coordinate will instead cycle to "wrap around" to the top and highest value. Therefore it is impossible to decrease all coordinates to their lowest register and to start from there.

An easy and quick way to solve the coordinates is to use the bottom and middle panel until you do NOT see any of the 3 coordinates needed. Then activate the first choice of top panel once or twice until you see one or more of the coordinates you're looking for. If you repeat this process, the 3 numbers will align when using the top one after several tries.

	First Option	Second Option
Top Panel	+ + + "Trim revulators."	- - - "Increase cyclospringer frequency."
Middle Panel	+ + - "Enhance anti-grav field fabrication."	- - + "Reduce rampulative induction."
Bottom Panel	- + - "Throttle primary drive redoubler."	+ - + "Boost magneto-harness magnitude."

Possible numbers

The possible numbers you can set the console to are below. The correct coordinates are marked in green.

Position 1	Position 2	Position 3
2:56:10	28.444	0.01576
8:19:37	49.251	0.02285
14:32:19	65.470	0.03903

Complete solution

The following table shows exactly which buttons to hit for each possible starting combination.

Position 1 is the top header, position 2 is second down, and position 3 is along the left.

The buttons are labeled Top/Mid/Bot + a number, for instance "Top2" means top panel, 2nd option.

Position 1	2:56:10									8:19:37									14:32:19
Position 2 & 3	28.444			49.251			65.470			28.444			49.251			65.470			28.444			49.251			65.470
0.01576	Top1	Mid2	Bot1	Top2	Mid2	Bot2		Mid2		Top1			Top2		Bot1			Bot2	Top1	Mid1	Bot2	Top2	Mid1			Mid1	Bot1
0.02285	Top2	Mid1	Bot1		Mid1	Bot2	Top1	Mid1		Top2	Mid2			Mid2	Bot1	Top1	Mid2	Bot2	Top2		Bot2	Finished!			Top1		Bot1
0.03903			Bot1	Top1		Bot2	Top2				Mid1		Top1	Mid1	Bot1	Top2	Mid1	Bot2		Mid2	Bot2	Top1	Mid2		Top2	Mid2	Bot1

Примечания

• Несмотря на то, что эта зона относится к прыгательным головоломкам, в ней не придется прыгать. Это, скорее, плавательная головоломка.
• Прохождение первой части (смотри пункт #3), до починки големов, занимает больше времени. Однако, если вы слишком долго пытаетесь пройти вторую часть - вам придется начинать все сначала.
