Step 2: Once inside the Ruins, head through, and you’ll come across an elevator with a battery socket. In order to turn it on, you must recover and charge a battery. But since the first charger is way too far from the elevator, the battery will die out before you carry it over.  

Therefore, what you are supposed to do here is enter the room that’s located behind the battery charger and use the pullcaster to break the vent on the ceiling.

Step 15: Open the terminal by inserting the key and entering code 2109109, and grasp the relic behind it.  

Note: Those who don’t have a knack for solving puzzles can directly enter code 2109109 to save time and get the job done. But if you are devoted to an honest gameplay where there is no room for shortcuts, retrieve the codes by scanning the data points on the 7th and 9th floor and uniting their numbers: 2109 and 109, respectively.
