How to Complete

	Objectives
1	Get Rid of the Metal Flower Upon entering the ruins, you should see a Metal Flower on your left. Use Melee attacks, and then your Vine Cutter, to get rid of it as well as the vines blocking the opening.
2	Open the Blast Door Enter the exposed opening and pull out the crate. Push the crate to opposite part of the ledge (away from the Metal Flower). Once you do that climb up and turn wheel, which will open the big blast door for you.
3	Scan the Door The blast door will close again if you take too long (around 30 secoonds) so pass under before it does. You should see a crate on your left. Pull it out and use it to climb up to where the door and key console are located.
4	Get the Key the wall on the left side of the blast door has three platforms that you can pull down with your Pullcaster. After you do so climb the blast door (up to the second to last ledge) to reach these platforms. This will lead you to the key.
5	Release the Railcar If you down from where you got the key and go straight, you will see some rubble that can be removed with your Pullcaster. Doing so will expose a railcar. Move the railcar as close to the blast door as possible.
6	Return to the Original Room Now that you have the key, use it to open the door and then proceed to open the grate in the next room with your Pullcaster. Once inside the vent, turn right as soon as possible, and after you drop, go straight and open the vent. This lead you to a room that has a patch of Firegleam on the wall. Igniting this will gain allow you to enter the previous room.
7	Block the Gate Turn the wheel once again to raise the blast door. Before it lowers, pull the railcar underneath it, perventing it from completely closing.
8	Climb up and Colect the Ornament Now that the blast door is stuck in ahigher position, you can now reach a higher area. Starting from the railcar, climb up the blast door and head left, which will lead you to another rubble-filed area. Remove the rubble with the Pullcaster and drop down on to the ledge in the next area, where the Ornament is located.
