You'll find yourself helping with Octavius's experiment in Crimson Desert shortly after you arrive at Scholastone. This giant scholar is trying to open a portal to the abyss, and the head of the academy will enlist your help in setting up the apparatus. Similar to repairing the kilns for Grimnir earlier in Chapter 4, the Gate to the Other World quest is almost-entirely puzzle-based.
I'll run through each stage of the puzzle below, plus explain how to complete the fight at the end of it so you can continue your journey.
