What Lies Below, the final puzzle
The last exam’s screen words are SELF DESTRUCT, then WIPE, STOP, REFRESH, UNDO and SHUT DOWN. “Finish the job” is not this room. That phrase belongs to Lab Rat.
From the glasses to the red buttons
Take the headmaster’s glasses so the pink hints appear. The locker is 0, right 10, left 25, right 15. Inside are the test sheet and the headmaster’s pin. The first door says only an ACE may enter: choose A, C and E. The colored floor follows the screen; the written answer is B, C, D. Pick up the dead 12-volt battery on the way. The pipe lights that glow green are A, D and E.
Open the vent with the pin. Do not rush the three Quanty bays until you have the rest. Morse pillars, short to tall, are C-B-A-E-D, and the test sheet only wants B and D filled. Among the chemical tanks only D is water. A is bromine, B is fluoride, C is cobalt oxide, E is fluoride again. Charge the battery on the Tesla coil, pour tank D to short the second bay, and solve the 5-by-5 letter grid in the third bay as SELF DESTRUCT.
Upstairs the red-button screens are WIPE (an M turned upside down), STOP (the opposite of START), REFRESH (from the bracket positions), UNDO (letters shifted) and SHUT DOWN (the opposite of OPEN UP). GameRant, ScreenRant and TheGamer all walk this stretch. A search for “prime directive” does not appear in those guides. I mention it only as an unconfirmed nickname, not as the room’s name. The Dead-Volt achievement is the battery step, described on TheGamer’s page.
