Walkthrough[]
First visit[]
When you go out to the main gate for the first time, a cutscene begins with the gate closing and the Queen appearing. After the cutscene is over, move the eight pillars and set them inside the slots.

Diagram featuring st04a and its connection to st07a.

Clip of st04a.
A glimpse at the early PS2 iteration of st04a was shown in the PlayStation Underground 4.2 disc. It's a short segment, but the door leading to Chandelier could be seen, as well as paths going up on both sides, which were also seen in the diagram from the PS1 version.
