Nights of Lights: Walkthrough

Head back into Dunehollow by either taking the lift or climbing down the elevator shaft. Go back to where you fought the Tideripper but take a right, towards the Eiffel tower-like structure. Go in the room behind it. You'll need a door code, so climb the stairway and scan the Text Datapoint on the opposite side. Then proceed forwards to a crate puzzle.

Where there are two crates stacked on top of each other, use your Pullcaster to separate them. Then drag the first crate out of the container and position it next to the slope. Use your Pullcaster again to free the crate you previously moved, and drag it out and up the slope so that you stack the two crates on top of each other again. Push the stacked crates opposite to the gap in the scaffolding but before you climb up, drag the crate on the other side of the fence out of the way using your Pullcaster.

Climb up and follow the path back out into the main room where the Tideripper was. But before you jump down, use your Pullcaster to pull down the wall and find another Text Datapoint. Now you have the door code, head back to the terminal and enter it before grabbing the ornament and returning to Stemmur.
