Rkund Puzzle Room Disaster

[LiquidFerret]

There is that one Dwemer Ruin Rkund were it had a puzzle room and I don't it can be solved at all. I keeps hit the buttons and the cog keeps going the opposite way. I don't think it can be solved at all. Why is everything there have to be so cryptic? Is it really possible to do? That is part I gave up on. There is no clues to solve it or anything! It is a beyond impossible to solve. Dear god! Of all the overly ambitious projects for Skyrim, that has be the most cryptic puzzle I have seen. I'll do what I can to solve but it is not possible at all so far.
Update: Well, I managed to solve the puzzle in that cryptic puzzle room of Rkund. I was bumbling around with the buttons in there until I gotten the cog pieces lined up and POOF! I cog key was dispensed as a reward for all the head aches I had and a coronary. If anyone can do it you show proof. This black footed ferret could have died in the puzzle room. DEAR GOD...What was the author of that mod Legacy of the Dragonborn thinking? I did it but that was pretty cryptic.

And there was me thinking you’d found a puzzle that was impossible to solve ...
only to find out it is possible to solve ...

Great story ... loved the plot twist at the end ...

I had to bumble around the with the buttons and the pieces of the cog keep sliding around with each button press until I figured out which buttons to press. That puzzle took me about almost an hour to do. I am not out of the tunnels of hell in Rkund yet.

I love Legacy of the Dragonborn, except for the entire Rkund sequence.

The puzzle room was a pain and I said I was impossible to do. LOL I never thought I would solve it. Bumbling around with the buttons. It was impossible to do it! I did the impossible though. Still not out of pits of hell yet in Rkund because I have to find one more cog. F***!

There is a journal that explains that each button controls 2 or 3 pieces, and that if you activate a button while a piece is in motion, it will not be affected. The journal is in the icy side area, in the pond at the bottom.

Trying to solve this by actually solving the puzzle and not abusing the mechanic where a piece in motion is not effected would be incredibly difficult if not impossible. I didn't actually check if it was possible,

You basically have to use the fact that the pieces are not affected by buttons when in motion.

I know this won't help you, this is more or less for anyone else trying this.

Also the solution can be found on the interwebs

I feel your pain. I got frustrated so I reloaded to when I first entered the puzzle room and hit each button from left to right in quick succession and it solved the puzzle immediately. I was quite annoyed that it worked lol.

LotD cobbles together a bunch of really old mod dungeons and other mods, so you're basically getting 2013 (sometimes unironically) My First Dungeon mod quality, except arguably worse because the added Explorer's Guild bits tend to add annoying backtracking, padding, and sloppiness. You can still find several of the original standalone dungeons on the Nexus.

It's kind of ridiculous that Rkund and Sancre Tor's broken navmeshs only recently got fixed by a third party modder...
