Islands of Insight

Lower half of the pyramid/rhombus
Can anyone explain how tf am I supposed to get to the bottom half of the structure? All of the labyrinths lead to the same level, I already solved 60+ puzzles there, most lenses clearly point to locations that are lower... What am I missing?

There's one glass pipe down, but it has a jump pad in it, that stops me from going down, and it's clearly the only way down

Entering the pyramid requires 5 secrets, but some glass walls act just like the enclave entrances and require 10 and 15 secrets. Maybe more elsewhere, but 15 is the highest I've seen.
Also if it's still like the demo, you enter the lower part through one of the mazes poking out of the floor, but I only have 5 secrets myself so I can't really tell what changed yet.

Good thing they explained properly that 5 mysteries is not enough to explore entire thing. Otherwise someone could've spent 4 hours running around this structure, going crazy. That would be horrible, right?! RIGHT?!

Ah, good to know. Also cleared it in the beta and now came back after 5 mysteries, then had no idea how to progress up or down. Good to know to not really bother and focus on the other things instead.

Make sure you actually come close to the walls that seem like they should lead up or down, and click on them. Because there's absolutely no indication those are clickable and the have the same unlock menu as all of the enclaves, while not having the same blue balls that indicate the gate, instead having just regular labyrinth "window"

Really great design there.

Oh huh, never would have guessed, thanks for the missing info.
Mostly just rubbed my face against lots of walls to try and find things.

Don't see anyone else pointing this out, but if you follow the ramp up that spirals around the pentad, you will basically run into a glass wall where you would expect the entrance to a maze. If you push into it, a message shows that you need 10 solved mysteries. This is the only clue in the entire game that tells you what's up here. I expect the same to happen for the bottom half.

15 is correct. It's 5 to get in. 10 to go bottom. 15 to get to the goal.

Unrelated opinions: I've kind of burned out at this point, I'm not great at doing the mystery puzzles even though I love the idea of them. Also, the glass mazes make me dizzy so trying to do logic puzzles in them is really unpleasant. I honestly was kind of hoping for something a bit more mind blowing for the final mysteries. I think games like Braid, Fez, or Witness really raised the bar for that kind of thing.
