Stuck at Egyptian Tomb Puzzle. Please Help.
So far everything went rather smothly but now I really need some help. I even looked at the hint system but for some reason I still can not figure it out.

So I alligned every color with the symbol:
Red = Earth
Yellow = Sun
Blue = Water

I also alinged the statures to what I think is the right position. But nothing happens and I can not even skip this puzzle. There is something i really seem to miss here and I also can not go back so I stuck in this room for like 1 hour already....

Pls I really need some help...

I`m totaly stuck here too.
Have deleted all my prior saves also.
So I can`t start it again. I will have to start again from the begining I guess. May be a glitch because the beams are aiming at the walls instead of the statues.

The colors need to match the symbols on the statues. After that you just rotate the statues until the puzzle is solved.

Yes, but their is a glitch you can cause by riding on the statues when they move.
It causes the light beams to be way off and pointing at walls instead of statues.
At that point you can`t solve the puzzle no matter what because beams aim at walls only!

What happened to me was the same there was a light beam coming out of the wall, i then reloaded the beams bug went away, or so i thought.

What happens is that you basically have statues that are out of sync.

I solved mine by changing all statues to yellow. keep rotating until you get the first center light to show green on the chest. from there you can work out what statues are out of sync.

At least this worked for me. because you know when all statues are yellow and you have rotated them into showing a green light. the symbols on the side of the chest tells you which of them must have sun hitting them. So then you have to adjust the 3 other statues accordingly no matter what their sign might show.

Tried to record it hmm. seems like Nvidia shadowplay doesnt like to record this game.

RMJ. Your are a genius my friend.

hehe you are welcome sir. :) sometimes the mind works in mysterious way, or i just get lucky when i refuse to give up.

I was in the same boat as you, i would have had to restart entirely, that was simply not an option. and from here on out, im making an actual save every time i change day. because who wants to risk that we hit puzzle with a bug we cant solve.

I`m with you. Saving is a very good thing from here on.
Totally don`t ever want to ever get into that state again.
Whooow, glad to have another chance to do it right.
Regards

There is a confirmed bug in that room if you walk around while the statues rotate. Load a save and just mess with the cog wheels to solve it till the patch comes.

This bug is being resolved and will be fixed in a forthcomming patch, coming soon!

Here's the work around if anyone is still stuck with the glitch

1 - turn all lights yellow.
2 - spin the right cog until one middle light turns green.
3 - spin the right cog twice
4 - spin the left cog twice (change to red I think)
5 - spin right cog once
6 - spin the left cog once (change to blue)
7 - spin the right cog once
8 - spin the left cog twice (change to red)
9 - spin the right cog until the puzzle is solved

Should have been fixed now (so hopefully you can run around freely in that room :) )

I found a really quick easy way to solve it. I merely UNINSTALLED the game, and will never buy anything with the name Tex Murphy in the title.
