Black Temple Second Door

Raise the platforms inside the Black Temple

Reveal and activate the 2 wall skulls, then reposition the movable reflector above the green receiver. From the lit metal plate, send green into that reflector, red to the left reflector, and blue to the right. The beams must reach the matching receivers in the central hole; platforms then extend from its sides.

This is the later Chapter 7 chamber with a hole in the floor, lit metal plates, and wall skulls. The earlier gate with 4 skull pillars has a different solution.

Reveal the wall skulls to move the light

1. Defeat the soldiers in the chamber and stand on the metal plate within the light.
2. Use Light Reveal to inspect the wall behind you. Find the blue skull marking and interact with the skull to move the light.
3. Approach the next lit metal plate. Deal with the soldiers that break through the wall before trying to use the sphere again.
4. From the new light position, reveal and activate the next wall skull. The light moves again, giving you access to the next part of the mechanism.
5. Interact with the newly accessible receptacle to rotate the mechanism and bring the reflectors into position.

Move the reflector before aligning the colors

Stand on the lit plate facing the central hole. You can aim green directly into its receiver at the edge of the hole, but that arrangement does not solve the red and blue routes.

1. Return to the mechanism’s receptacle. Move its reflector sideways until it sits just above the green receiver.
2. Return to the lit metal plate and use Light Splitting.
3. Aim the green beam at the repositioned central reflector so its reflected light reaches the green receiver.
4. Rotate the split beams until red hits the left reflector and blue hits the right reflector. These directions are from the plate while facing the hole.
5. Check where the reflected beams end: each needs to reach the receiver of its own color inside the hole.

Check for the platforms

Platforms extending from the walls of the hole are the completion signal. Use them to continue downward through the temple.

If green connects but the other colors will not line up, return to the movable reflector rather than repeatedly turning the sphere. If the setup is not available yet, finish the wall-skull interactions and rotate the receptacle first. A room with 4 freestanding skull pillars is the earlier gate, so these beam directions will not apply there.

Sources and limits

The room sequence, reflector position, color routes, and platform result follow the Chapter 7 section of Richard Seagrave’s GameSpew walkthrough, published August 27, 2026. This is a written-source reconstruction, not an in-house gameplay test. It covers this chamber, not the complete Black Temple or its earlier skull-pillar gate.
