Control Pyramid

Several puzzles in Misery of Magic are manipulated by means of control pyramids. These are hexagonal pyramids that are sometimes glowing and can always be interacted with.

Matrix Puzzle
In the Matrix Puzzle Room, there are four control pyramids, each one cycling through the colours of one of the four squares on the wall, which are used to answer the puzzle.

Remnant
On the bottom level of the Remnant, a green control pyramid shifts the mechanism in the wall of Research Station 3-Z.

Underpath
Pyramids are used to turn each of the eight screens on and off. Four pyramids are in the upper level while the other four are in the Deep Underpath.

Fire Hole
The fourth and final floor has three side rooms, each containing ten pyramids corresponding to the letters A through J. One pyramid in each room can be active at the same time.
