Armed with the key, I returned to navigate the Ashtray Maze toward Dimensional Research.
Driven by energetic rock music, I passed through shifting doors, defeated guarded Hiss entities using my Launch ability, and levitated upward when the floors began rising inside a massive, shifting hall.
I returned to the Ashtray Maze after finally acquiring the key needed to unravel its shifting layout. My goal was to navigate through the complex and reach the Dimensional Research section.
Driven by a dynamic background track blending heavy beats and rock music that matched my calm, focused mindset, I watched as new pathways opened up before me. The maze no longer shifted to block my path, allowing me to advance without being turned around.
Along the way, I passed some doors flanked by pairs of shoes, hinting that people might be inside, though the door remained firmly locked. Continuing through the newly uncovered corridors, I encountered several Hiss entities guarding the path.
I initiated the attack using my Launch power, hurling a heavy projectile at the first guard to destroy it instantly. A second entity sitting nearby floated into the air after surviving a headshot, but I maintained my attack and eliminated the threat.
Then I used the health crystals scattered across the floor to recover from the damage I took during the firefight.
Countless doors unlocked in sequence as I pushed forward. Passing through room after room, I entered another chamber filled with additional Hiss forces.
I engaged them immediately, taking down targets with aggressive attacks while letting the driving soundtrack pace my movements.
Though my aggressive approach cost me a significant portion of my health, I cleared the room and pushed deeper into the structure.
I eventually emerged into a massive, surreal hall lined with towering structures that resembled multi-story buildings.
Uncertain of the exact route, I simply kept moving ahead through the open space. Suddenly, the floor beneath me began shifting and rising rapidly into the air.
I activated my levitation ability to manage the changing environment, and floated upward past the rising terrain to maintain my momentum and explore the high ground of the maze.
