Some of the pillars that comprise the corridors of the four floors of the abyssal ruins are colored purple and marked with mysterious letters. These letters can be transliterated into letters of the Roman alphabet using the correct {{wp|cipher}}. When read the correct way (right to left, bottom to top) the sentences from each pillar can be gathered into a coherent message. The cipher shifts between floors: when one moves up a floor the symbols move "down" one letter in the Roman alphabet; for example, if two separate symbols corresponded to the letters G and H on one floor, on the floor above they would correspond to F and G, and on the floor above that they would correspond to E and F, respectively.

Four of the symbols used—[[File:AR Symbol 1.png]], [[File:AR Symbol 2.png]], [[File:AR Symbol 3.png]], and [[File:AR Symbol 4.png]]—do not appear to have any corresponding letter; it is strongly speculated<!--as Zinzolin's docs appear to translate them into a whole word--> that they are {{wp|logogram}}s.
