(It seems that the majority of the entrances, rooms, and other places in this so-called Center Hall are all controlled through a centralized Ancient Magic circuit. The whole place is also covered in a lot of engravings just like the colosseum where the Gladiator Tournament in the Beast Capital was held, Master Seth.)
