FORBIDDEN

 * The Hanging Rope or Wings Effect is recommend.

Go to the Chess world (central north warp in the Nexus, directly up from the entrance you come in from Yorutsuki's room) and try to find a checkered tile on the floor with two, unmoving white chess pieces to the left and right. From here, go through the maze until you get to the world with the black and white circles scattered around. Find a 1 tile wide doorway (as opposed to the wider doorway, that takes you off track) and you'll be taken to Rust World. In Rust World, work you way down and then to the left until you find a grey doorway on the other side of a small ledge. Use the Hanging Rope effect to cross it. You should be in Grey World (it's like a black-and-white film looking place) and keep going up until you reach the top row of houses. One should have an open door, so go inside. There may appear to be nothing, but walk far each and you'll enter the Backrooms. The Wings effect is recommended here because of the Nopperas. Try to find a 1 tile wide corridor, and you should be led to a maze. Use the sound to figure out the way through, if the room is getting darker, you're on the right track. You should come to a creepy room with realistic eyes and a mouth in darkness. Interact with it, and you'll be taken to FORBIDDEN World. Find a photorealistic mouth with the eyes crossed out by the ubiquitous censor bars (it's south west-ish of where you came from, not too hard to find unless you get lost). Interact with it, and walk up the path to get the effect.

Cloud

 * The other nineteen effects are required.

Follow the directions to the Planet effect, but take the first staircase nearest the train instead. Use the Lab Coat effect to enter a smaller spaceship and interact with the single lever at the front. Wait a few minutes until the craft comes to a stop. Exit south to the Cryptic Tiles Maze. Somewhere to the right is a second staircase. In the next area, you will encounter rooms which require a specific effect to successfully clear. Once you've crossed all the rooms, follow the stairs and interact with the cloud on the landing.

OR

Use the Abstract effect from Yorutsuki's dream balcony to immediately enter trial area.

Aether

 * The Cloud effect is required.

After completing The Temple and obtaining the Cloud effect, go back to the balcony outside of Yorutsuki's room in the dream world (the simplest way being to wake up and go back to sleep again). From here, use the newly obtained Cloud effect to fly over the wall separating Yorutsuki and Hirumataiyo (ergo, the wall to the left). Interact with Hirumataiyo in order obtain the Aether effect.

Gaia

 * The Cloud effect is required.

The method to obtaining the Gaia effect is nigh-identical to that of the Aether effect, the only difference being to use the Cloud effect to fly over the wall to the right (or alternatively continue flying left from Hirumataiyo's balcony). Here, you should find Shōgohoshi sitting down in the corner. Interact with her to obtain the Gaia effect.
