How To Open the Axum Observatory Door in Subnautica 2 by Completing and Solving
Opening the Axum Door in the Subnautica 2 Observatory is the biggest step you’ll take to complete the current early access content. It’s not a simple task and will require a lot of effort and resources.

The first step is to turn on the Karakorum Power Plant. Before doing that, you need to find and clean the Angel Comb at the plant’s center, then repair the turbine.

Cleanse the Power Plant Angel Comb

The Angel Comb is located about 1,760 meters east-northeast (75 degrees) of the lifepod and 425 meters deep. To cleanse it, you must remove the Canker Blooms infecting it, similar to previous Angel Comb encounters.

These Blooms will close up as you approach, so you’ll need to upgrade your Sonic Resonator to a Feedback Resonator at the Modification Station. This upgrade allows you to shoot from afar, preventing the Blooms from closing. Near the Angel Comb, there are two Canker Blooms, but you should wait until you clear the three Bloom Nodes before destroying the blooms closest to the comb.

There are three Bloom Nodes to cleanse, each infected with two Canker Blooms. When a Node is cleansed, it opens, signaling you can move to the next one. The nodes are located at:
- Under the Observatory Tower: 1,175 meters east of the lifepod, in a cave beneath the main tower. Two Blooms here.
- Near the Base of Power Plant’s South-southwest Arm: 1,516 meters east-southeast (100 degrees), 305 meters deep, near a research table. Watch out for marine life here, including the Leviathan periodically passing through. You need upgrades for your Tadpole to reach this point.
- Northeast of Angel Comb: 2,150 meters east of the lifepod, at 320 meters deep in a wreck site. Follow the Titan Rockbore roots northeast from the Angel Comb, and swim up into a cliffside cave.
- Cicada Wreck Site: Located at 2,150 meters east of the lifepod and 320 meters deep. Swim through the wreck inside a cliff to find this node and Blooms.
You can follow the purple Titan Rockbore roots to locate these nodes. Once all three are cleaned, remove the two Canker Blooms near the Angel Comb.

Repair the Karakorum Power Plant Turbine

After cleansing the Angel Comb and interacting with it, look along the southeastern cliff wall about 400 meters deep to find the turbine control center. Enter through the hole on the left and interact with the panels to activate the Heat Pipe. When the Heat Pipe starts moving, exit the control center and swim up to another station at 200 meters depth.

At this second control center, you’ll see three terminals. Scan each terminal with your PDA, then return to the back left. Interact with every dial and lever until they turn green, then press the central button to turn the system green. Do the same for the right terminal afterward.

Before pressing the main button on the right, scan the Turbine itself, located about five meters in front of you. Once scanned, you’ll learn what materials are needed for repairs. The required items are:
- 10 Titanium Ingots
- 10 Strontium
- 10 Mangalloy Ingots
All these items can be crafted at your base using a Processor. You’ll need to gather:
- 60 Titanium
- 10 Atacamite
- 10 Troilite
- 20 Celestine
Once crafted, return to the Turbine to repair it. Use the materials to fix all parts of the Turbine at the processor.

Restore Power to the Power Plant

After fixing the Turbine, return to the upper control room to turn on all terminals. The power plant will start powering up, and you’ll receive a notification from your PDA indicating that power has been restored.

Open the Axum Observatory Door

Now that the power is on, go back to the main Observatory Tower and approach the Axum Door. Interact with it, and it will open. Inside, scan the Orrery to gather information.

After scanning, your PDA will send some data to NoA. Before leaving, swim up through one of the three central holes in the room; you’ll find yourself in a second chamber with another interactable plant. Interact with it to reveal additional information and a tease of upcoming content. At this point, you’ll be informed that the Early Access phase is complete, for now.

How to Open the Cargo Door in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora by Completing and Solving

After the destruction spreads across Kinglor Forest in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, So’lek must reclaim the land and find those who disappeared in From The Ashes. The terrain is mostly covered in flames and ash, but we’ll guide you through navigating the Na’vi homeland.

From the mountain peaks to underwater tunnels, So’lek is clever and strong. Finding missing members of his new family takes time, but it’s worth it to stop the RDA from harming the planet further.

Where To Find Teylan

When you start this mission, the first spot is in a smoky area. You need to clear out the RDA presence there, especially the Prometheus and Poseidon operations, which you can track under the “Sabotage The RDA” section in your quest log.

Once these are done, head east to Dawn’s Glade, which is north of Sister’s Steps. You’ll recognize it by a burning Mangkwan Raider camp.

How To Defeat Mangkwan Raider Hayn

After investigating the fire and calling out for Teylan, you’ll meet a Mangkwan Raider named Hayn, who won’t talk. She’s alone, so she’s fairly easy to take down. Use your best weapons and shoot her until her health drops.

When she’s defeated, approach her to perform a finisher and get a token as proof of your kill. Then, continue your search of the camp, following the trail of white flowers heading north.

Where To Find The First Zeykoma Fruit

Follow the white flowers along the cliffside into a cave. Turn left at the ledge, where a large fruit is blooming. Interact with it to permanently increase your maximum health.

After that, Teylan contacts you to confirm he’s alive. He’s tracking the Mangkwan to the shoreline, near a large facility that needs to be taken down.

Where To Find The Cargo Ship

Travel east until you reach the water. Priya and Teylan will notify you, and you’ll encounter Frontiers Port Echo. Teylan is headed for the bridge, so you should hurry to meet him there.

Navigate around the port walls to reach the water at the back. Climb onto the docks and hide while planning your approach.

Stealth can be tricky because of defenses, so use powerful arrows to quietly eliminate enemies if you’re confident. Otherwise, explore the base with your Na’vi senses to open the cargo door yourself.

Teylan mentioned a backup tunnel underneath the ship, which is highly recommended!

How To Open The Cargo Door

Swim around the ship’s southwestern side and dive when you see an RDA lift. Look for an opening in the maintenance tunnel to sneak inside undetected.

Climb along the piping, and use the lift to move up the tunnel. Proceed to the control room, where you can override the system and open the cargo door. After that, leave the office and make your way to the bridge just outside.

Watch out for patrols on the deck below! It’s best to deal with them carefully so you aren’t caught before reaching the checkpoint.

Once on the bridge, climb the pipes and disable power boxes as needed. You’ll see a broken hellhound — a sure sign you’re on the right track.

Enter the bridge to reunite with Teylan and grab the RDA Knife, which has a charge that can overload certain doors and mechanisms.

How To Get To The Engine Room

From the control room, turn left, slide down the elevator shaft, and drop into the next area through a vent. Here, sabotage the two engine terminals and throw grenades into the hatches above them, making sure to break both terminals first to prevent the sprinkler system from shorting your knife’s charge.

You can turn off the water by operating a valve at the back of the room, behind the terminals. Eliminate the RDA reinforcements and blow up the remaining engine.

Head through the back doors to enter the cargo hold and escape. More enemies will come, so deal with or slip past them quickly.

How To Open The Cargo Hold Door

Arrive at the cargo hold, where a large door blocks your escape. Use the nearby console by climbing up the rampart to open it. Be aware of AMP suits and hellhounds patrolling the area. You can fight them directly or quietly take them out with your knife.

How To Defeat Mangkwan Raider Uknam

Once the door opens, Uknam rushes out with a battle cry. She’s easy to deal with — use your firearms to weaken her, then leap across crates to stay on high ground. When her health is low, perform a finisher to take her down and get her Mangkwan token ring. Continue to the next doors to leave the facility.

How To Escape Frontiers Port Echo

To escape, destroy all fuel silos, electrical systems, and parked aircraft scattered around the port. Teylan has directed the hellhounds to attack the RDA instead of So’lek, giving you an advantage.

The fuel silos are in the north, and vehicles and systems are spread throughout. Take cover during alerts, focus on your objectives, and shoot electrical panels on the control tower and nearby structures to disable them.

Once everything is destroyed, reunite with Teylan in the port, call down Iley, and fly back with him to the new resistance headquarters for regrouping.

How to Complete the Underground Door in Keeper and Solve Its Secrets
Exploring an abandoned island as a wandering lighthouse with no one to talk to but an emerald-feathered bird makes “Keeper” a very unique game. It features a series of puzzles that you need to solve to reach the mountain’s peak and stop the Wither once and for all. Like all puzzles, some may be challenging.

Luckily, we’re here to help you understand how to advance smoothly through the game. If you’re stuck on the decorated door puzzle beneath the giant tree guardian, we can guide you through it. Here’s how to solve the winding gears puzzle on the door.

Where to Find the Winding Door Puzzle
Use your focused light beam on the winding knots beneath the tree guardian to open up new areas of the underground caves. As you explore, a door will seal behind you, trapping you in a room filled with glowing mushrooms and a large puzzle door with a shining blue eye. Although this is the way forward, it’s currently inaccessible because it’s missing two of three gear handles needed to turn the icons on the door. Use your light on the knot door to the right and pass through to search for the missing handles.

Where to Get the First Handle
The first handle is located down the path to the right. Dash through the vines and wade into the water to find two knot doors. The door on your left shows the icon you need, and it has a handle lodged inside. Send Twig out and rotate the handle around the icon until it reaches the bottom. Twig will then bring back the handle, hanging it on your railing.

Where to Get the Second Handle
The second handle can be found by breaking through the vines on the left. Make your way back to a wall puzzle, where Twig needs to fly out and operate a lever. Move the lever in this sequence: left, down, left, up, and left. This action will free the handle, which Twig will carry back to you.

Puzzle Door Solution
Return to the large door and send Twig to place the two missing handles into the gears. Once attached, you’ll need to rotate the gears to unlock the door. Here’s how to wind each gear:
- Top Gear: Rotate so the point faces downward, like an arrow.
- Middle Gear: Turn it so the flames point toward the eye at the center of the door.
- Bottom Gear: Wind it into an S-shape from top to bottom.
When winding the gears, listen carefully. You’ll notice the winding slows down and becomes tight when you’re close to solving the puzzle—that’s your cue.

Once the gears are correctly wound and the door opens, you can move on to the next area.

How to Complete the Grey Labyrinth Door Puzzle in Slime Rancher 2

Discovering Rainbow Island in Slime Rancher 2 offers many exciting surprises. You’ll learn about the island’s mysteries and gather dozens of unique slimes to mix into new Largos. One prime location to find slimes is the Grey Labyrinth, if you can locate it.

Unlocking this late-game area takes patience, time, and a good understanding of slime behaviors. Here’s everything you need to unlock the Grey Labyrinth doors. Stay alert once you’re inside, as much of what’s hidden remains just out of reach until now.

Where to Find the Grey Labyrinth Entrance

You won’t discover the Grey Labyrinth unless you’ve been reading the various G.G. logs found on the fallen Quantum Drones scattered around Rainbow Island. Its secret doors are buried in caves behind Gordo slimes in both the Starlight Strand and Ember Valley.

In Ember Valley, you must feed the Boom Gordo slime about 50 different types of meat to make it burst. When it explodes, it releases 12 smaller Boom Slimes, revealing an entrance to the cave behind it—an entry to the Grey Labyrinth.

In the Starlight Strand, gather roughly 30 Nectar from around the Flutter Slimes’ habitat. Feed this Nectar to the nearby large Flutter Gordo slime at the crumbling wall, causing it to explode into a dozen smaller Flutter Slimes. Drop through the hole and continue forward to find the second entrance to the Grey Labyrinth.

Both entrances are blocked by a mechanism that’s interrupted. To open them, you need to repair the connection. But how?

How to Open the Grey Labyrinth Doors

Head back to the Conservatory and check the Comm Station often. Focus on talking to Vikor, as he’s been speaking with someone who knows about the Grey Labyrinth. After a few chats, Vikor will give you the blueprints for the Radiant Projector. You’ll need to craft four of these to open both doors.

Gather these materials to build the projectors in the lab beneath the Conservatory:

– 2,000 Newbucks
– 40 Hunter Plorts
– 40 Boom Plorts
– 20 Silky Sand
– 20 Lava Dust

Once you’ve made all four Radiant Projectors, go to the Grey Labyrinth door and open the editing menu. Place the first projector near the golden slime light along the wall; aim its beam toward the other side of the room where the second projector will go.

Use the second projector to angle the beam at the triangle-shaped buttons located by the door. This puzzle solution unlocks the portal to the Grey Labyrinth. It’s best to return to the Conservatory afterward to deposit any items in your Vac Tanks.

You might also want to craft extra Refinery Hubs or portals before heading in. These additions can help you access areas that are only available at certain times or make it easier to return quickly since the Grey Labyrinth is a vast, separate map, larger than Rainbow Island itself.

Things We Wish We Knew Before Completing Our Door to Strangers in No, I’m Not Human

Surviving in “No, I’m Not a Human” is all about figuring out if the people knocking at your door are real humans or dangerous visitors trying to kill everyone during the night. You need to be able to tell them apart to stay alive.

This game is full of secrets, many endings, and small details. To help you get through your first few playthroughs more easily, here are some useful tips based on our experience.

Check the TV More Than Once a Day
Each morning, you get a broadcast warning about new symptoms. But it’s helpful to click the TV in your bedroom more than once during the day—up to two extra times. Doing this unlocks new info, like fresh items at ForRest or new phone numbers to call.
Additionally, you can listen to the hallway radio once a day once you find the right station. This can reveal more details and contacts.

Use ForRest as Often as Possible
On your first full day, when you see the ad for ForRest’s delivery service, call and order two cans of EnerJeka. Each can restores some stamina. Keep ordering these every possible day, since they offer helpful advantages. Remember, you can only order one item per night, and deliveries arrive that night. After that, you need to wait a couple of days before ordering again.
Prioritize items like EnerJeka or Cat Food, which give you useful benefits.

Let the Cat Lady Inside, Even Though She Looks Not Human
The woman with the long neck and a cat isn’t human, but always let her in. She might kill a guest on her first visit, and you’ll need to shoot her in the morning, but it’s worth it. She’s the only way to get the cat into your house, which opens additional endings and enables you to use Cat Food. When used, Cat Food prevents anyone from dying overnight—even if a visitor is present.

Skip Using Cat Food on Nights 6 and 13
While using Cat Food is generally helpful, don’t waste it on nights 6 and 13. No new visitors arrive then, so verifying your guests during the day should suffice. Save your food for nights when new visitors might come.

Stay With People on Certain Nights
The Pale Man Visitor appears on nights 3, 5, 9, and 11. He asks if you are alone. If you are, that’s an immediate game over—so make sure to have someone in your home those nights, even if it’s risky.
Beware, FEMA also shows up on nights 4, 5, 8, and 10, removing one or two people each time. Plan who you invite carefully.

Use FEMA Notices for Unsure Characters
When you suspect someone isn’t human, give them a FEMA Notice. It guarantees FEMA will take them away on their next visit. This helps protect alliances you want to keep or removes characters you’re unsure about, especially if your stamina is low and you want to avoid testing each guest.

Not All Visitors Kill or Show Typical Symptoms
Not every Visitor kills on their first night, and some may look completely normal—like having regular eyes or no hair. For example, the Cat Lady doesn’t always kill, and characters like the Immortal Man, Seductive Woman, or Dreamer Guy might be non-hostile. Keep in mind, only one death can happen per night, even with multiple Visitors.

Humans Can Fake Symptoms; Use Context and Backstories
Symptoms such as red eyes or skin irritation aren’t guaranteed signs of Visitors. For example, the woman with glasses has red eyes because she cried, and her skin might be burned from trying to save children. The grave digger’s dirty nails are just part of his job. Pay attention to what you know about each character—they often give clues about their true nature.

Check and Change Your Own Symptoms Regularly
You can verify your own health in the bathroom mirror. You might see that your teeth are white or that you have fungus under your arms. Symptoms like fungal armpits or red eyes can come and go, so keep an eye on your condition. Also, during the later nights—like the eighth, tenth, and twelfth—you’ll meet the Vigilante, who asks for proof you aren’t a Visitor. Failing to show proof results in death, so use your symptoms or other guarantees (like clean hands or white teeth) as evidence.
Remember, symptoms are temporary and will revert after a few days.

You’re Not As Limited in Saving as You Might Think
There’s a jar of Kombucha in the hallway you can use to save your game. If used, you need to order another jar before saving again, which is limited by how often you can order. Alternatively, you can use the game’s menu option to “Save and quit” without using a jar. This lets you pause and return later without consuming resources, making planning your moves easier.

Always Have People in Your Home on Certain Nights
On nights 3, 5, 9, and 11, it’s crucial to have someone else with you. The Pale Man visitor appears and asks if you’re alone. If you’re single, it’s game over. Bringing guests can be risky but necessary to avoid bad endings.
However, be aware that FEMA removes people during nights 4, 5, 8, and 10, so choose your houseguests wisely.

Use FEMA Notices to Manage Suspicious Characters
Giving a FEMA Notice to a guest ensures FEMA will take care of them on their next visit. Use this on characters you’re unsure about to keep your house safe or to remove potential threats. Notices can sometimes be given in exchange for bribes or when FEMA visits.

Visitors Don’t Always Kill or Show Typical Symptoms
Some Visitors, like the Cat Lady, don’t always kill on their first night. The symptoms they show can be normal, such as healthy eyes or no visible signs. There are also a few non-hostile visitors that are still dangerous but less likely to kill immediately, like the Immortal Man or Dreamer Guy. Only one death can happen each night, regardless of how many Visitors are present.

Humans Can Faint False Symptoms, So Identify Them Carefully
Symptoms can be faked by humans. For instance, the woman with glasses has red eyes from crying and skin burns from helping children—not necessarily indicating she’s a Visitor. Use logic based on character backstories and appearance to make accurate judgments.

Check Your Own Symptoms Regularly
Look at yourself in the mirror to see if anything unusual is happening—like fungal armpits or discolored teeth. Symptoms such as fungus or red eyes are temporary and can reappear after a few days. Keeping your own health in check is vital to prove to visitors and to stay alive.

You Can Fight the Save Limit with a Friendly Trick
A jar of Kombucha in the hallway allows you to save your game without using resource-consuming options. To do this, just go to the menu, select “Save and quit,” and your progress will be saved without using the jar. Just remember, you’ll need to reorder another jar through ForRest each time you want to save again.

How To Remove a Ring Doorbell from a Door or Wall
If you have a video doorbell installed at your home, it’s likely from the Ring brand, which is known for producing some of the best video doorbells on the market. Their lineup includes affordable options as well as high-end models that record continuously. At some point, you might need to remove it—whether to upgrade to a newer model or switch to a different brand altogether.

Removing a Ring doorbell is straightforward and typically doesn’t require many tools. Most models come with a specialized screwdriver designed for easy removal. If you’ve misplaced this tool, don’t worry—there are alternative methods to take down your doorbell without it.

Here’s a quick overview of how to remove your Ring doorbell:
The process varies slightly depending on the specific model, but generally, it only takes a few minutes.

What You Need:
- Ring Video Doorbell
- The screwdriver provided in the package (or a small flathead or Torx screwdriver as a substitute)
How to Remove Your Ring Doorbell for Charging

Many Ring models feature a faceplate secured by a security screw at the bottom. To remove it:
1. Use the provided screwdriver to unscrew the security screw, usually located at the base of the device.
2. After removing the screw, gently pull the bottom of the faceplate down and away from the mounting bracket.
3. When the faceplate comes off, you’ll see the battery and a small silver lever. Press the lever to slide the battery out of its compartment.
Note: Newer models might use a push-pin installation method, allowing you to pop the entire unit off without a screwdriver. In that case, you can use the included push-pin tool or even a small flathead screwdriver as an alternative.

Removing the Doorbell Without the Special Tool

If you’ve lost the tool that came with your doorbell, you have a couple of options:
- Contact Ring’s customer support to request a replacement tool. Many users have successfully received replacements this way.
- If you need to charge the battery immediately, attempt to carefully manipulate the security screw with a small flathead or a T15 Torx screwdriver—be cautious to avoid stripping the screw.
Once you have access, you can follow the steps to remove the device itself from the mount, replicating the process described above.

Permanently Removing Your Ring Video Doorbell

If you’re relocating or replacing your doorbell permanently, removal is just as simple:
1. Use the screwdriver to remove the faceplate.
2. Unscrew the device from the wall or door frame. If your unit is wired, disconnect the wiring carefully—especially the wires connected to your chime.
3. To prevent pests or leaks, fill the resulting holes with silicone sealant or filler.
With these steps, you can easily take down your Ring doorbell for maintenance, charging, or replacement. Once removed, you’re ready to install a new model or start fresh.

How to Open the Locked Door in Jova in Hell Is Us Using Completing and Solving
Hell Is Us prefers to keep things unclear. While some storylines and puzzles are fairly simple, there’s satisfaction in solving them without much help. Usually, you’re never completely at a standstill, because the game provides tools to assist, most of the time anyway.

Some puzzles can be a bit more difficult because you might not have a clear starting point. The Enlightenment Mystery is one such challenge. Depending on when you start collecting clues, you might feel more lost than expected. You can’t finish it all on your first try, but the rewards are worth the effort.

How to Start the Enlightenment Mystery

When you enter the Acasa Marshes, its many secrets become yours to uncover, including the Enlightenment Mystery. The problem with this puzzle is that it involves exploring the entire marsh, including areas you don’t have access to until later in the game.

There’s a helpful clue in the marshes around the village. If you have the right password, you can go further into the mystery earlier than expected.

The main goal is to open a special door in the area. Go to Jova’s town and find the well at the center. Climb down into the sewers and navigate around until you find a large, locked wooden door with five symbols around it. You’ll need more clues to open it, so let the hunt begin!

Getting The Symbols Notebook

To solve the puzzle, you need to find the symbols scattered across the marshes and use them to unlock the door. But without knowing where these symbols are or how they look, it’s tricky. There’s a useful hint in the marshes near the village.

Leave Jova from the north and head for the small outpost. From there, you should see some ruins to the east, behind a fence. Along the path, you’ll spot a sparkle on the ground—the clue. Before approaching it, eliminate the Lymbic Entities that emerge from the marsh—they’re easy to defeat since they’re regular enemies.

Picking up the item gives you the Notebook – Symbol Research. Its pages show the same symbols found on the door beneath Jova’s well, along with descriptions. These symbols are:
- U-shape
- Lightbulb
- Cartwheel
- V-shape
- Eye
The notebook also describes whether the symbols are dotted or solid, which becomes clearer once you start matching them in the game.

Finding The Five Symbols

In the marshes, five locations contain torch setups with a symbol beneath each. Activating the correct torch in each spot opens the door in Jova if done correctly. Here’s where to find each one and which torch to activate.

Tip: These locations are dark, so turn on your flashlight to see better.

Symbol #1 – Near ON Peacekeepers

Travel to the southern monument. At the base, stairs lead inside, where you’ll find stranded ON Peacekeepers and a locked Lymbic Door. Opposite the door are the torches. This first symbol is the Lightbulb. You need to activate the Solid Lightbulb—the one on the left with smooth rings around the shape. Light it up to complete this part.

Symbol #2 – Beneath Pathem Abbey

Next, head under Pathem Abbey. You can access this only after reaching Act Two, which happens after placing the Keystone of Grief in the Lymbic Forge. When it’s unlocked, find the torches near the area where Jaffer might be present. Here, the symbol is the Cartwheel, and the required torch is the Dotted Cartwheel, located to the right of the exit. Light it to finish this step.

Symbol #3 – Vigil Training Grounds

Located northeast of the marshes, near the Hermit and the crash site, these grounds need to be unlocked by solving the Martial Lineage mystery—hit the four pillars in the correct order, counter-clockwise. Inside, find the torches with the U-shape symbol. Activate the Dotted U-shape on the left wall to proceed.

Symbol #4 – Cave Beneath Observation Post

This cave is in the marsh outside Jova, near the ON Outpost, and next to the place where you first found the Symbol Research notebook. Although you usually get the password for the gate here as part of the story, you can open it anytime. Inside, find the vault with the V-shape symbol. Activate both v-shaped torches—solid and dotted—located here to continue.

Symbol #5 – Jova Sewers

In the sewers under Jova, beneath the locked door and near the initial discovery point, you find the last torches. The final symbol is the Eye, and you need to activate the Solid Eye torch on the left. Doing so triggers a rumble, indicating the symbols are correctly aligned.

Entering the Door

Once all five symbols are correctly activated, a rumbling sound confirms the puzzle is solved. Head back to the door—you’ll see it open, revealing plenty of items inside, including the Twin Axes of Grief, the Polearm of Ecstasy, and the Crucible of Fire passive relic.

With that, the Enlightenment Mystery is complete.

How to open the Senedra Forest locked door in Hell Is Us by completing and solving

Hell Is Us makes several daring decisions, such as depicting the brutal and unforgiving realities of war. One of the most important gameplay choices is leaving most of the discovery and exploration up to you. There are no quest markers or maps—just notes and your instincts guide you.

Early in the game, you’ll come across the Forlorn Fate Good Deed mission. In this task, two people are trapped and locked in, with no obvious way to free them. Since people can’t stay locked up forever, you need to find the key quickly, which involves a lot of traveling.

### How to Start the Forlorn Fate Good Deed

After entering the trenches in Senedra Forest, you can explore different locations, including the area near the cave’s entrance. Instead, follow the trenches until you’re walking above them, heading east. Along the way, defeat the Lymbic Entities, and you’ll encounter smaller sections of trenches that are cut off from the main ones. Proceed down these trenches to find a small room with a locked door, similar to the one in the earlier ruins from the Secrets of the Ram Mystery.

The doors are locked, and inside, you’ll hear someone calling out for help. Though you can’t respond, they will share information. They were locked in by someone helping them, but that person took the key with them. They fled back to Talju to find a map they had forgotten, and they are part of the Vanderlyn group. For now, that’s all you know, and it will be a while before you can do anything about it. So for now, just leave them be.

### Where to Find the Map for the Locked Door

To open this door later, you need to reach Talju, which becomes accessible after progressing far enough in the story. After you go beneath Lake Cynon to the Lymbic Forge and place the Keystone of Grief, you’ll start Act Two. This unlocks exploration of Hadea and allows you to find the remaining Keystones.

Head to Talju to find a mechanic named Boru Joven in the garage area. Talk to him to get a map of the town, which makes navigating much easier. Equip this map to your quick slots, and you’ll see the Vanderlyn Trust offices marked on the southwest side. This is your destination.

Make your way there, fighting enemies and unlocking shortcuts. Inside the building, you’ll discover the Symbol – Flame, which is used to open the locked door back in Senedra Forest, as well as the Map – Senedra Forest. Both are located in the same area, so no extra searching is needed.

With these items, you can leave Talju and return to the locked door in Senedra Forest, using the Symbol – Flame to open it.

### Returning the Map and the Key

Once you have the map and key, go back to the door and insert the Symbol – Flame to unlock it. Inside are two survivors, relieved to be freed. They mention they are not from here and are unsure how to navigate the mountains south of Hadea without their guide.

Fortunately, you found the map they were seeking in the Vanderlyn Trust building. Offer it to one of them in exchange for their thanks, the Cufflinks Research Item, and complete the Forlorn Fate Good Deed.

### Changes Based on Story Progress

As you progress through the story, the survivors’ desperation increases. The more Keystones you’ve collected and placed, the more distressed they become, crying out for help when you approach the door. If you gather all Keystones before freeing them, they will die, and the Good Deed will fail. Make sure to open the door before that happens, as failed Good Deeds don’t count toward your trophies or achievements.

### Additional Tips

– When the survivors mention they don’t know how to pass through the mountains, it’s crucial to give them the map you found. If you skip this step and continue the storyline, they will leave without your help, and you won’t receive any reward or closure. Avoid this by offering the map immediately.

– After completing the Good Deed, consider returning to Gildas at the Watcher’s Nest in Vyssa Hills for extra rewards.

### Note on Rewards

The rewards you get vary with each Good Deed, but it can be tricky to determine if you’ve submitted multiple ones at once. Pay attention to what you receive for each completed deed.

Schlage Sense Pro Unlocks Only When You Want It To
CES 2025

Explore our in-depth coverage of CES.

Updated just now

Smart home gadgets, particularly smart locks, have revolutionized convenience. Imagine approaching your door, laden with groceries, and having it unlock for you—no more awkward fumbling for keys. However, these gadgets can occasionally be a bit too responsive, like when you’re just standing by the door looking out. The Schlage Sense Pro, which debuted at CES 2025, takes this convenience to an impressive new level.

While it can’t literally read your thoughts, the technology behind the Sense Pro is quite advanced. It recognizes your approach and behaves accordingly. If you approach the door with a sense of purpose, it unlocks; if you meander, it stays locked. The lock is able to assess your direction, speed, and movement to decide when to engage. Just remember, you must have your mobile device on you for this feature to work.

For instance, should you find yourself on your porch tending to your plants, the lock will remain securely locked. You can stroll right past without triggering it.

Unlocking the Door in Entropy’s Grasp: A Dragon Age Guide

“In Entropy’s Grasp” is the third major quest in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, where your mission involves unlocking a door at an ancient elven temple. This task is trickier than it sounds, as you initially only have one power crystal, and you need another one to proceed. The second crystal is located behind a barrier, and there seems to be no obvious way to retrieve it.

To obtain this crystal, you’ll need to break through a wall in the courtyard to clear a path. This can be accomplished using a ballista positioned at a lookout point. This guide for Dragon Age: The Veilguard will walk you through the necessary steps to locate and power the door.

Once you arrive at the old Elven Temple, the first task is to disable the Veil Bubble Artifact. Behind a locked door, you will spot the power crystal that you need to acquire.

1. Unlock the Door Opposite the Main Entrance

First, grab the crystal located on your left and carry it across the courtyard to the other door. Slot the crystal into the node next to this door, which opens up a staircase leading to an upper level. Climb the stairs to discover the ballista waiting for you.

2. Reach the Ballista

The ballista is unfortunately covered in blight boils, which you’ll need to eliminate. This is a simple task—approach the ballista and shoot at the glowing blight boils with your currently equipped weapon.

3. Break Down the Wall

Aim the ballista at the intact wall and fire a shot to break it down. Be prepared for some enemies to emerge, so take another shot to clear the area. Once the enemies are dealt with, drop down to ground level and enter through the broken wall area, where you’ll find the second power crystal waiting at the far end of the corridor.

Retrieve the crystal and insert it into the right node near the large door in “In Entropy’s Grasp.” Also, don’t forget to place the first crystal into the left node of the door to continue advancing in your quest.
