How to Complete the Origin of Thought in Crimson Desert

Step #1: Climb the Platforms

  1. Look south, and you’ll see wind turbines that you can ride up by jumping and pressing Square to Fly.
  2. You’ll land on a large ring, which you can take to the east side to find even more turbines to go further up.

Step #2: Find the Battery and Activate the Turbines

  1. Fly west towards the next ring, where, towards the west, you’ll see a floating battery.
  2. Use Axiom Force on the floating battery and carry it up the platforms on the west path.
  3. Between the deactivated turbines on top of the platform, you can slot in the battery and use Force Palm (L3) to activate the turbines.
  4. Fly upwards and to the north to find a new set of turbines, which will take you all the way to the top of the Origin of Thought.

Step #3: Align the Rings to Complete the Puzzle

  1. Walk across the circular platform to the east, where you’ll find a platform that you can look down to see a yellow dial.
  2. Use Axiom Force on the dial to control the circular platforms from below by switching between them with L2 and R2, and then rotating them with the D-Pad.
  3. Rotate all three rings so that the small rings (highlighted above) match the yellow rings. Once aligned, all yellow lights will turn blue, and you can exit the puzzle and return to the bottom.
  4. At the center of the bottom platform, use Force Palm on the yellow dial to activate the Abyss Gate, which can now be walked through to reach the next puzzle.
