Key places in Order of Truth
1. Salimeri. You can resume the game here if you chose the peaceful solution in the Fallen to Earth quest after the encounter with Qorro (M2.2). Alternatively, you can reach Salimeri on your own. The woman can give valuable advice to the protagonist and give him/her a side quest: Anechoic Lazaret.

4. Central part of the room. Here, you can talk to Min of Tan Liang and examine the machinery, which gives you XP, among other things.
5. Callistege's workplace. You can meet Callistege here if she has previously left the team. You can invite her in again, but it is only possible when Aligern is not currently part of the team.
The pyramid puzzle solution
The pyramid is located in the northwestern part of the building and is marked in the above picture. Having clicked it, you have to examine the frame and the support. In case of the former, you have to pass a Perception check, and in the latter case: an Anamnesis check.

1. Examine the sphere;
2. Touch the sphere;
3. Take the sphere;
4. Take the sphere again;
5. Put the sphere back in the frame;
6. Remove the sphere from the frame via the left opening;
7. Remove the sphere from the frame via the front opening;
8. Remove the sphere from the frame via the right opening;
9. Remove the sphere from the frame via the right opening;
10. Lift the frame and remove the sphere via the bottom opening;
