Bell puzzle is acting weird

[pizzamanager846]

Im at the cathedral and for some reason the bell puzzle is acting all weird the sound for the first bell keeps cutting out but even if i try to ring the second bell it still doesnt work does anyone know how to get through this?

hit the second bell first then the first bell. the 2 bells must be ringing at the same time but one last longer that the order. hint : dont use the door trying to hit the two bells in time

There is already a topic on this subject. I heard that if you change to the old graphics (by pressing F1) it might solve the problem.

In any case, it is important that developers are aware of this issue and that it is fixed in future patches.

Also the bell puzzle only activates after doing some other stuff on that level of the tower. If you're hitting it & the sound is cutting out in like a second I think you still need to complete the other tasks. When it's ready the sound plays as normal but does seem to cut out a second or two before the actual window for hitting the 2nd bell is over.

Hit the bell in the hall with the glass windows. Quickly run through the opening in the wall, glide across the pit to the area where you first landed, run down the slope to the other bell, and hit it before the first bell stops ringing. You'll know you got it when a cutscene triggers and the windows in the hall shatter.
From there, you turn the crank, watch the lizard door open, shift to the spectral realm, and head through the new opening toward the door. There will be a wheel to turn inside the room to keep the door open.
Have fun.

Take the pipe in the room with the blocks,
throw it through the bars, take it
and hit the bell in the hall several times, then quickly fly through the window behind your back to the second bell and hit it

I know what you mean.
The sound of the bell stops too early. Even when you do everything right.
I hitted the second bell after the sound stopped and it miraculously worked. (After a third try!)
It is a bug probably related to graphics stuff.

Try hitting the back of the bottom bell and not the front. I just did about 12 attempts at this and during the successful one the sound from the top bell stopped but I hit the back of the bottom bell instead of the front. Might just be a fluke but I am not stopping tonight until I have finished the Cathedral.

FWIW I was using the remastered textures, not the old textures.
