Tips
- Extinguishing the third seal requires you to die on the fire in the real world to enter the simulation as a corpse, making you immune to the bell alarm that guards the seal.
- Extinguishing the first seal requires stepping off the raft while traversing through the transition zone between simulation regions to fall out of bounds into the subterranean lake.
- Extinguishing the second seal requires dropping your artifact and walking far enough away from it to enter the matrix view, revealing the hidden bridge leading to the seal's controls.
