Activate the Abyss Nexus/Step onto the platform

You will be starting this quest in the Abyss (sky map):

Walk forward and there will be a platform on the ground. Simply stand on it for a few seconds. This unlocks a fast travel here.

Tip: Fast Travel Points get marked by a blue icon on the map. They are found on the sky islands and on the ground map. From the sky islands you can skydive down to nearby locations. On the ground map, they will be indicated by big white “?” circles on the map when they are nearby.

Go toward the building

Proceed forward to the building ahead. Continue forward, after a cutscene you get a tutorial popup on how to use Axiom Force.

Find a way into the building

To get into the building you must use Axiom Force to spin the two floor plates until power flows through both of them.

First, shine the lantern with / to see yellow outlines in the floor plates. You must connect the yellow lines to the wires so that power can flow through.

Hold / Left Stick to shoot Axiom Force at the floor plates. This will “grapple” it. Then hold to pull or to push and rotate the right stick. This will move the floor plate.

The yellow lines won’t be visible while using Axiom Force. If you forget where the yellow lines are, you must release Axiom Force with / and use the lantern again.

Enter the building

Once the floor plates are correctly aligned, you get a short cutscene and the tower opens. Simply head inside and walk down the hallway until you reach Alustin, the beggar from earlier.

This finishes Polar Opposites in Crimson Desert.
