Once you are in you will see a console and 3×3 grid on the left corner. This is where you have to insert the code to unlock a hidden Bulwark’s Ambry portal.
Walk towards the grid and insert the exact combination you saw on the tablets. If you haven’t found anything then look on the left top of the grid area and you will find a free code. After placing all the shapes properly walk towards the console and you will see a Red portal.
