## Unlock Conditions

1. Read Episode 14 from the Node Flowchart
2. Clear the Veritas (left-hand) and Porta (right-hand) locks (see below for the lock conditions)
3. Select the centre lock and input `ERRORDETECTION`, then input `ERRORPROTECTION`

After performing these steps, Unraveling Stasis will start, with the Challenge gauge. Clearing Unraveling Stasis will unlock it on the difficulty played and all difficulties below it, as well as Episode 14.2.

### Veritas and Porta Locks

The Veritas (left) and Porta (right) locks on Unraveling Stasis's unlock are implicitly required to clear the passcodes on the centre lock, as they reveal puzzles that give the code when solved, and explicitly required on the following screen on the centre lock, as the game will not advance if they aren't unlocked. Their unlock conditions change depending on your difficulty.

### Notes

The unlock method comes from several clues:

* **ERRORDETECTION**
	+ **ERROR**
		- Clearing the Veritas Dusk lock reveals a puzzle consisting of boxes with several sets of dots, red lines, and mathematical symbols. Two boxes don't fit this pattern. One contains 18 dots scattered around, the other contains a green diamond in the top right corner.
		- Treating each row of dots as a number from 1-9 and each red line as a 0, reveals a set of equations:
			* (
			528
			×
			435
			)

			45936

			{\displaystyle \frac{(528 \times 435)}{45936}}
			* 104976

			{\displaystyle \sqrt{\sqrt{104976}}}
			* 64

			×
			2
			−
			1

			{\displaystyle \sqrt{64} \times 2 - 1}
			* (
			15
			25
			)

			81

			0.5

			256

			{\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt{(15 + 25) + \sqrt{81}}}{0.5} + \sqrt{\sqrt{256}}}
		- Solving each of these equations, and substituting the box of scattered dots with the number of dots in it, results in these numbers:
		```
		5 18 18 15 18
		```
		- Turning each number into a letter results in the word 'ERROR'.
	+ **DETECTION**
		- Clearing the Veritas Break lock reveals a puzzle consisting of lines in groups of varying lengths, akin to a Morse Code. There is also a pink square in the bottom right corner.
		- Treating each long line as a dash and each short line as a dot, we get the following Morse Code message:
		```
		-.. . - . -.-. - .. --- -.
		```
		- Decoding this Morse Code results in the word 'DETECTION'.
	+ When selecting the middle lock to input the passcode, the top passcode is laid out like this: ◊□\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
	+ Taking ◊ to meant the result of the Veritas Dusk lock's puzzle, which has a green diamond in the top right corner, and □ to mean the result of the Veritas Break lock's puzzle, which has a pink square in the bottom right corner, putting them one after the other results in 'ERRORDETECTION'.
* **ERRORPROTECTION**
	+ **ERROR**
		- Clearing the Porta Dusk lock reveals a puzzle consisting of dots, coloured arrows, and underlined spaces.
		- Each arrow and set of white dots signifies an operation to be performed on the first set of 5 red dots. As in previous locks, red signifies addition, and blue signifies subtraction. Completing these operations in succession gives the dots "5 18 -8 -11 -8".
		- Each set of dots in the spaces signifies a letter. Adding 26 to negative results, and turning the numbers into letters results in the word 'ERROR'.
	+ **PROTECTION**
		- Clearing the Porta Break lock reveals a puzzle consisting of groups of boxes of various quantities and colours:

		- There is also a series of numbers at the bottom that are the same colours as the groups of boxes:

		- There is also a blue triangle in the bottom right.
		- Replacing each number with the number of boxes in the group of the same colour results in these numbers:
		```
		16 18 15 20 5 3 20 9 15 14
		```
		- Converting the numbers into letters results in the word 'PROTECTION'.
	+ When selecting the middle lock to input the passcode, the bottom passcode is laid out like this: ◯△\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_
	+ Taking ◯ to meant the result of the Porta Dusk lock's puzzle, which has a magenta circle in the top right corner, and △ to mean the result of the Porta Break lock's puzzle, which has a blue triangle in the bottom right corner, putting them one after the other results in 'ERRORDETECTION'
* The Porta Dusk lock was modified in an update after Unraveling Stasis and its unlock sequence were added to the game; an image of the old lock can be found in the gallery below. Below is the solution for the old lock.
	+ Clearing the Porta Dusk lock reveals a puzzle consisting of these letters:
	```
	ICNYE
	```
	+ There's also a sequence of numbers underneath the letters:
	```
	02 18 05 01 11 05 18
	```
	+ There is also another sequence of numbers underneath the first:
	```
	04 21 19 11
	```
	+ There is also a magenta circle in the top right corner.
	+ Converting the numbers in the second and third rows into letters results in the words 'BREAKER' and 'DUSK' respectively.
	+ Putting the first row of text through a Vigenère cipher with the key 'BREAKER' results in the word 'HLJYU'.
	+ Putting that text through a Vigenère cipher with the key 'DUSK' results in the word 'ERROR'.
