Crimson Desert Insert the batteries to activate the device

In Crimson Desert, in Chapter 4 during Main Quest: Gate to the Otherworld, you get the objective to insert the batteries to activate the device.

To solve this, you have to go upstairs to where the quest started, in the round plaza. There you will find 4 pillars with cubes in front of them – these are the batteries.

You must grab the batteries with Axiom Force (hold L3 / Left Stick), then push them in front of the opening in the pillars with R2/RT. The pillars are marked as orange objectives on the minimap.

While the cube floats in front of the pillar, press L3 / Left Stick again to let go, then press R3 / Right Stick to use Force Palm.

This will punch the battery into the pillar. Repeat this for all 4 batteries, each will shine a power beam at the device in the middle.

Afterward you get a cutscene and must use Axiom Force to remove the unstable core. Aim at the blue orb in the middle by holding L3 / Left Stick, then hold L2/LT and push the Right Stick up for a few seconds to pull out the core.

Then you must approach & subdue Tenebrum.
