How to try to unlock the rooms located deep within

Just like in the previous quest objective, where you needed to proceed deeper within Khemenu Temple, unlocking the rooms within will require you to gather two (2) Primal Embers and lead them to the Primal Torch. There are also two (2) rooms here.

In the northern room (Jeht and Benben are standing outside), follow the steps below to try to unlock the rooms located deep within:

STEP 1: Step on the panel and wait for it to vanish. Then, glide down.

STEP 5: Along the way, you will come across Large Fan Blades that will turn on and off by themselves. They will blow away the Primal Ember, so make sure to release the ember again only when the fans are at rest.
