Follow the seal fragments to Mort and solve several riddles to get to the weightless substance - the element of memory.
Find the seal
Go down from the statue of the seven Archons in Mort to the large pit and run down the stairs. Along the way, interact with the mechanism to gain xenochrome abilities spherical octopus.
Use your acquired skills and direct the charges at the flap valve located at the grate. Hold the button until the passage opens wide enough, then quickly jump down, otherwise the gate will close again. You can also stand on the grate so that when it moves, the character falls down.
Get to the marked point and glide to the floor below.
Here also assign to yourself octopus skills, stand on the gate and activate two valves in turn - first the right one, then the left one. Then you will have time to slip into the pit before the grate moves back.
Fly under the arch along the mission marker and deal with Rupture puppies nearby before talking to the team, otherwise they may attack and interrupt the dialogue.
Examine the stone tablet with a riddle: the correct answer
Read the inscription on the sign hanging on the wall, where there will be a riddle: "Arises instantly...", “She breaks up with you, doesn’t leave you even in your sleep, is always inseparable from you...”, “Unaffected by any bright flame...”.
After reflection, several options will be offered:
- Stones in the kidneys.
- Tears of an Oceanid.
- Shadow is the correct answer.
If you make a mistake, Carter will ask you to think again, so you can’t fail this step.
Solve the Orthant's puzzle
Go to the center of the temple and examine the device that collects Flows of energy. Next you need activate two mechanisms nearby to direct blue channels from them to the main apparatus.
Fight the Meks blocking the path and release first flow energy.
Run to the opposite end and take xenochrome octopus abilities, then approach the grate on the right.
Hit the crystal to make it yellow and removed the barrier on the wall. Then stand at the flap valve so that you look directly at Eliphas's ray, fixed to the lifting column.
Use the octopus's forces on the mechanism to raise the relay and with it the blue beam higher. Hold the skill until the ball is as high as possible.
Then quickly attack the crystalto close the sash back and fix the beam at the desired level. If during this time it drops too low, you will have to start over.
Wait a little while the energy saturates the hanging ball, then the grate on the left will rise. Go inside and take the elevator down.
Use the octopus power on the valve to lift the gate in front and quickly run underneath it.
Once in the cell, release the flow and return to the elevator, select the “Climb” option next to it and follow to the top floor.
Upon arrival release energy to the central office, this will solve the riddle.

So... I've completed the entire "In the Footsteps of Narcissus" quest chain up to Act 4 and it's all finished. But I can't interact with the mirrors. What should I do?
I went in and did everything as written, but the towers inside are the opposite. When I solved the beam puzzle and went down, the lower structure let water into the first gate. There's also an elevator going down, it's not fixed in place like everyone else in the guides. I can't do anything about the second gate; there's no connection, only an elevator going down and up. I've already looked through everything, and no one else has had this happen. What should I do?
I also ran into trouble—I completed both the meteor and this quest by accident. The task says "remove the seal," but the problem is, I removed everything long ago and took the chest. Now I'm stuck, I can't figure out what they want next.
Upg:
Ok, I figured it out.
If you've already completed this quest, skip straight to the next one, up to Cupid. There, go to the seal, the crystal (call it whatever you want), and continue listening to the quest.
I can't access the mirror... all the tasks are done. What's wrong?
Have you completed the quest The Secrets of the Book of Revelation?
What should I do when I approach the ortant to complete it, there is nothing, no buttons, I approached from every possible angle but nothing changed
Have you completed all the previous steps? What stage of the quest is displayed for you?
