This is a truly miserable and un-fun puzzle.

[AlbertoWhiskas]

i was literally about to cry about how mad and bored i got, i reload checkpoint after probably 1 hour trying and did same thing you did, thanks

[slooch]

the thing is lara has a fire arrow and could just set it alight

[matthewdavis]

Dude, Watched 3 videos before this one. You sir, are my saving grace. Never been more fed up with a puzzle had to restart to get it to work.

[thalleshenrique]

Almost one hour on this puzzle, found the solution in my head, but one of the wheels wasn't spinning as it should, game was bugged. This video saved me. Had to reload the game.

This puzzle is easy but probably bugged. I can't do so many circles. It locks at some point and can't push it enough. Need to do half circle more but cant't just pushing me back. EDIT: Works after restarting game.

THANK YOU! I WAS ALMOST GIVING UP ON THIS GAME BECAUSE OF THIS PUZZLE.

You're a life savior, my friend. You got one new subscriber.

[FallenAngel]

Wow. Played this game what, three times now, and get stuck on this puzzle every bloody time. The other vid I tried was crap and had too many moves so it was just confusing, so yours is - as Jesse Pinkman would say- the bomb. Straight to the point and done. Thank you!

[sukamedik]

I spent a full hour on this easy puzzle, thinking about why they wouldn't let you turn the wheels 360, turns out they just soft-lock you and won't let you turn it the right way if you don't do it on the first try (Lara pushes but the wheels are “stuck” and won't turn to the right track), so all I had to do was reload the checkpoint the whole time, this is kinda disappointing for a triple-A game, especially for a series like TR😢

Not a hard puzzle, yet it took me so many damn tries. I feel dumb.

[shadasiasmith]

Hook the robe, move the little one to where the oil will flow into the wall so it will blow up, after that cut the rope and move the other one by hand, so it matches the second one

[RoamingShadows]

Basically this is one of the easiest puzzles in the game, but feels so damn hard. Turns out if you change the puzzle difficulty to "Easy" Lara even tells you to cut the rope to align the top tracks. Still, I was so sleepy at that time I did not even take notice of how to solve the thing. New sub, most satisfying 2 minutes.

Man this puzzle is so irritating took me an hour to figure out! You are a saviour bro! Keep up the work! 💯

[Talhaguy]

I literally also wasted like 1+ hr on this puzzle because of the weird circle locking bug (the circles when connected would only rotate 45deg max and then get be unable to move any more). I was being stubborn and trying to figure it out myself. When I restarted the check point after watching this, I did it in like 15 seconds. -_- What an absolutely awful place for a bug to happen!!!! Thank you to the commenters on this thread with the tip of reloading the checkpoint!

[vxi]

Nah its been 5 years and im still tweakin in this shi💀

[jonpeley]

Thanks a lot, I was about an hour with this puzzle and couldn't solve it even watching other videos. Your solution was the only one that worked.

[ludkrieg]

Best tutorial on YouTube. Done at the first try

[mazika]

Sir ! You r the only one with the easiest and quickest vid for solving this puzzle! Thanks !

[votablebeet]

Thank you this took me 200 attempts I keep on watching and watching and it worked

[bryantennent-cjnx]
