Leyden Jars are key items used to power starfish mechanisms that block doors.

Main uses in this section:

• Place Leyden Jars into starfish to open locked paths.
• You will need multiple jars (usually 2–3) to fully progress.
• One jar becomes depleted after use and must be recharged.

How to Recharge a Depleted Leyden Jar:

1. Take the depleted jar to the machine at the Construction Site (second floor).
2. Place it into the machine.
3. Survive several waves of enemies while keeping the power active (watch for red indicator lights and restore power when needed).
4. Once complete, retrieve the fully charged Leyden Jar.

Tip: You can reuse jars by removing them from starfish after opening a door if you need them elsewhere.
