Use the Pullcaster to pull the nearby crate towards you, and use it to climb up to the upper floor. Head left and to the outer walkway, and jump over the gap to the other side.

Drop down into the room. Above you to the left is another crate — yank it down with the Pullcaster.

Next, use the crate to climb up to where it originally was. From here, you can see across to a vent and a beam. Use the Pullcaster on both of them to create a path. Move the crate so you can jump up to the beam, then to the vent, and through to the next room.

Turn around and use the Pullcaster to tear down the wall. Head into the hole in the floor and follow the path down.

You'll find another Pullcaster point at the end on the ceiling above. Pull it down, then go back out the way you came.

Next, pull the crate towards you and it'll fall into the hole you created. Go back down and then push the crate up against the wall, below a set of handholds.

Climb up onto the roof, and then drop down to a balcony below. Here, you'll find the key you need.

Go back to the locked door, use the key, and then enter the code 1705. The door will open, and you can collect the Ornament. Done!
