Locations

• Office Sector - "Administration and Management". This is the starting zone. The entry is unlocked by going up the stairs from the Plaza near Warren.

• Manufacturing West - "Engineering and Fabrication". Entry unlocked by talking to Varsha and getting her to unlock the door further into manufacturing. This is the second area, and requires a Power Cell from Flathill to open. The Power Cell is inserted into a forklift near Grayson.

• Cascade Laboratories - "Advanced Study and Containment". This is the third area. This entry is unlocked by entering the elevator at the bottom of the Containment Block for the first time. The area is unlocked by overloading The Synchrotron, carving a hole that allows access.

• Rise - "Gate Rise Bio-Laboratory". Optional Portal World. The final portal world in Cascade Laboratories. There is a multi-step process to unlock it. First, you must have reached the The Mycofields and obtained Anteverse Gel. Create Antethermite, and use it to open the Laser Lab in the Adjustment Wing. Get the Laser Reflector recipe from the whiteboard in the lab. Create at least 2 Reflectors, and get a tall item with flat sides. I recommend 2 of the 2 drawer filing cabinets. Take your two reflectors, and your filing cabinets, and return to the laser lab. Notice that the powerful laser emitter has been knocked down, and no longer hits the ring near the opposite wall. Inside that ring is a small purple effect, like a finger sized portal. Carefully position a cabinet right next to the powerful laser from the large emitter. Stack the second cabinet on top of it. Use one reflector near the bottom to send the laser straight up, then another one near the top to direct the laser directly into the small portal. If you are successful, after a few seconds you will hear a sound like glass breaking. Go to the housing for The Dark Lens just outside the Vacuum Chamber, and you'll notice a portal there. That will take you to Rise.

• Anteverse XXIII - "The Furniture Store". This portal world is required for story progression. To reach it, you must go in the Containment Block Dirac, use the button on the second floor to open the door to the rest of the Containment Blocks, then bridge/jump the gap near the fallen safety fence. Use the vent near the locked fence-doors to get into the secure office nearby. Go up the stairs, and at the far end of the room is a button that unlocks the fence-doors to Containment Block Hemholtz. Exit the secure room and go through the fence-doors. Continue until you see a branching corridor on your right. The large portal there will take you to the Furniture Store.

• IS-0028 - "The Library". Read the email "What is this mess?" and view the attachment to unlock this entry. At the time of this writing, there doesn't appear to be a way to access this portal world.

• IS-0031 - "The Pool Room". Optional Portal World. To reach this, you must have already beaten the Control Center, and taken over the auto-guns. Doing so unlocks many containment chambers. Return to Containment Block Hemholtz, where one of the cells has The Red Chair. Sit in the chair, and you will be teleported to The Pool Room.

• Flathill - "Gate Crown Control Facility". Unlocked by reaching and entering the Gate Headquarters in the town. This portal world is required for story progression. To reach this portal, you must first create the Keypad Hacker. Once you have done so, go to Level 3 in the Office Sector. You can use the Elevator near the Dormitory Tram, or the stairs past the pool and pas the Bio Lab. One of the first things you will see up on Level 3 is a large silo door with a keypad you need to hack. Do so, kill the Exor, open the next door, then go straight past the staircase until you reach the large observation area. There will be a keypad directly in front of you. Use that to open the portal. You can access the portal by back going back to the staircase you passed a moment ago.

• IS-0138 - "The Train". Entry unlocked by talking to Dr Hammond multiple times after entering this Anteverse. Additional information is gained by reading the email "Need silver" and viewing both attachments. This portal world is required for story progression. To unlock this area, you must have reached the F.O.R.G.E and spoken to The Blacksmith. He will give you the recipe for the Tram Station Key. You must also have crafted the Keypad Hacker (Tier 2). Once you have both, go up the steep roadway past the blacksmith until you reach the entryway with the soldiers on the left. Take a right towards the small office area. There will be a keypad to hack before you need to turn left or right. Do so, then go through the door it opens. Take a left, and follow the road until you see the Tram Station on you left. Use the Tram Station Key to open it. The portal is accessible via the left side of the area.

• Anteverse II A - "Far Garden". This entry is unlocked by approaching the Hologram inside the portal world. While this is intended to be a required portal world, it is possible to skip it entirely. There are two ways to reach this. The usual path is to use a Energy Brick to open the silo door that gives access to Grayson. Use the elevator in that area to go up to the area containing this portal.

• Anteverse II B - "The Mycofields". This portal world is required for story progression. To access this portal, you must have already beaten the Control Center, and taken over the auto-guns. You must have a Keypad Hacker (Tier 3). You must have traded for the Fire Proximity Suit from The Blacksmith. It is recommended you have a Lab Mask as well. First you will need to go to Containment Block Anning, which is across from Containment Block Hemholtz. Continue forward until you reach a Silo Door that is stuck partially open. You will see the Tarasque in a large room ahead. You must kill it, then salvage its body for the Tarasque Ichor. Once you have done so, put on your Lab Mask and Fire Proximity Suit. Take the Ichor, go back to the large open area in the Containment Block, and ride the elevator to the top floor. The giant mushrooms mark the correct floor and the correct door. Go through the silo door, go past the keypad hacker. Go down in the pit with the lava ring, and put the Ichor in one of the machines. Climb back out of the pit, and go back to the keypad you passed. Use your Keypad Hacker (Tier 3) on the pad, and it will open the portal.
