You access this area after completing Chaos Forest. The path ahead includes collapsing platforms, but there is no need to go slowly across them. After clearing the first island, use an aerial Force Palm or another height-gaining move to glide toward the island with the teleporter.

You will encounter a rotating wheel and lasers at the beginning. Avoid squeezing between them and make a jump with Force Palm to land above the wheel, then activate your glide to move cleanly over both the wheel and the lasers.
Then you should proceed with climbing up the vertical wall. It will be covered with rotating grates and moving lasers. Be ready to pay attention to the bottom laser. It will move up soon. In this situation, catch the grate, hold the resist button, and perform a swing move using Force Palm. Otherwise, your character will get pushed off the wall. If stamina becomes an issue, drop down and climb the nearby stone wall.
The next chamber introduces the main puzzle mechanic. You will see a power source, several grates, and a hanging cage. Use Axiom Force to move the power source into the cage, which has only one opening. Adjust it properly and place the source inside.
After crossing to the upper platform, look for a section of the floor with openings. From there, pull the trapped power source upward through the larger central gap and adjust its angle until it fits properly. Repeat it several times if you fail and then put the power source into the corresponding socket and lock it.
Move forward to the next area and look over the edge. You should spot a small rectangular opening in the wall below. Climb or glide down to collect the second power source. Again, use Axiom Force and let it float in the air. Then climb up and place it in the empty socket.
Now that two sockets are powered up, the final mechanism activates. Follow the large roots to the top, then glide down to the circular panel. Use Force Palm on the center while holding resist to complete the Roots of Truth puzzle.
