Key Points
- You need to collect the Pressure Hand first to help you escape the elevator shaft.
- This area is accessible right after collecting the grab pack, which happens early in the game.
- While exploring the elevator shaft, keep an eye out for pressure plates to use the Pressure Hand and unlock new areas.
After reaching the bottom of the laboratory at the very beginning of Poppy Playtime Chapter 5, you will be tasked with navigating the depths and finding a way to the upper floors. Once you have your grabpack on and have the Pressure Hand equipped, you are free to scale the rafters to get to safety. The path to get above isn’t straightforward, and it is easy to get lost here.

How Get the Pressure Hand in Poppy Playtime Chapter 5

After collecting the grabpack from the mouth of Bron the Dinosaur, look up to find a movable platform nearby. Use the hands to grab and pull the platform and position it in front of the gap on the bridge. Go across and enter the room, then check the whiteboard for a code using the UV backlight. Input the code into the keypad nearby and collect the Pressure Hand.

Head back across the bridge and make your way to the end, where the locked door is. To your left is a platform you can push ahead. Use the pressure glove to push the platform, then make your way over there and go across. Pick up the cassette tape near the door and head back. Use the pressure hand to further push the crate away, then make your way over to the next area.
How to Find a Way Out

To your left is a steel grate that you can push away using the pressure hand. Follow along the linear path until you find the exit. After jumping down, look up and grab onto the pulley above to hoist yourself up. Get up the stairs and continue to use the pulley to grapple and jump up. Once you reach the top, to your left is a pressure plate.

Place your hand on it to make the lift drop down a bit. Use the hook below the lift to grapple onto it and drop down. Continue on the steel bridge until you find the pulley above and grab onto it. Look to your side to find another pressure plate and place your hand on it. Immediately grab onto an item once the doors open and swing your way across, which completes the puzzle.
