Vaal temple is so extremely poorly explained

The Vaal temple adds a huge hurdle for new players to understand PoE2 mechanics.

While we are grasping some of the hundreds of mechanics in the game you throw a lot more at us without explaining much.

Im stuck in the Royal Access Chamber now with a half completed temple and I cant move anywhere. Whats up with that?

Yes.

If the 3gs truly want to succeed in the modern game space, you need to behave like modern games.

I've played the temple quite a bit, couple different characters to lategame. I'd say I'm an average player, I haven't gotten to endgame on hardcore... probly like 60% of the way.

On my current character, I can't use any paths... I know its because of how the rooms interact; but I don't actually know why. I know its stupid, thats clear.

I'm provided path squares, I just click on them and can't add them to the map anywhere.

So I can't really do much with my temple.

I did something I was allowed to do, that I guess is wrong or something. I can't think of any logical reason why I can't add paths to anything. Ok, no good reason, I can think of many stupid reasons.

I blame the doors. Its either the temple doors or the checkpoints to blame, both are exceedingly frustrating for no reason.
