How to solve Axiom Force puzzle in Crimson Desert

The Axiom Force puzzle in Crimson Desert's Abyss Without Balance quest requires you to use the unique telekinetic mechanics. Essentially, this introductory puzzle teaches you the mechanics of the Axiom Force ability to manipulate objects and bridges. Although the game provides hints to guide you throughout the process, it can get a bit confusing if you haven’t previously played games like Crimson Desert.
Understanding early puzzles like this will help you set the foundation for more complex challenges later in the game. To guide you through the entire process, there is a detailed guide below.

Solving the Axiom Force puzzle in Crimson Desert

You will have to learn Axiom Force manipulation to progress effectively. The puzzle design is not that difficult, but it does require you to think creatively. Here are the steps that you can follow to solve the Axiom Force puzzle in Crimson Desert and complete the Abyss Without Balance quest:

Step 1: Use the Axiom Force skill as part of Polar Opposites quest

To get started, you will have to solve the “Polar Opposites” puzzle using the Axiom Force ability. For the same, you must grab and turn the two round tiles that are present in front of the door.
While using a controller, you will have to press and hold the left stick to aim. After you have grabbed a tile, you will then have to use the right stick and rotate it. In the meantime, if you are using a keyboard and a mouse, use Tab to aim the ability and use the mouse for rotating the tiles.
You will essentially have to connect the pipe system through the blue line. Once you have done the same, you can proceed.

Step 2: Restoring Abyss in Crimson Desert

You will have to restore the abyss as part of the Abyss Without Balance in Crimson Desert. Upon entering the puzzle area, you must head through the forcefield triangle and use the Axiom Force on the precision switch. You will have to adjust the dial using Axiom Force until the alignment activates the skybridge.
You can then jump from platform to platform to cross the bridge. Following the same, you will encounter a floating power core. You will have to use Axiom Force to grab the floating blue-ish cube and move it to the lantern. Ensure that you position the power core over the designated spot.
Once you are done with the power core, you can learn the Force Palm from the figure. You can subsequently use Force Palm to put the core into its place. Finally, you must climb onto the big dial and use Force Palm in the centre to activate it.
This will complete the Abyss Without Balance quest in Crimson Desert. You can eventually grab the Abyss Artifact and proceed.
