9 | Topple the underwater tower

Pushing with the ship alone will not open the tower after the railway. Swim down its right side and pull debris by the blue handle to topple it. Collect the fallen fuel and lower the mast under the bridge. After the gorge damage, return to the ship on the right that still has its engine.

10 | Open the gate from the tall facility and attach the stern

Climb using the mast, then pull the box left to reveal a ladder. Combine the moving platform and long ladder to reach the top. Repair the central lift lever with the tool, descend, and open the great gate with the blue button.

Wait for the ship to reach position, adjust two levers until both central lights glow, then attach the stern with the upper blue button.

11 | The button beneath the capsule

Attach the new stern's hook to the capsule beneath the hatch and lift it with the winch lever left. Dive into the cleared hole below and press the blue button to open the next door. If carrying the flowerpot, check the planting place on the new stern.

12 | Drain the cliff tank and transport the core

Climb the cliff ladder into the building. Connect the hose to the pipe atop the suspended water tank and use suction to rise. Set the top lever right and press the button from atop the tank to release the new core.

  1. Switch to pumping water to lower the tank to the bottom.
  2. Use the outdoor crane button to point it toward the building.
  3. Attach the hook to the core, pull it outside, and lower it to the ship.
  4. Install the core aboard, fill the ballast, and dive beneath the cliff.
