How to hit the chain in the roof In Cistern area.

[artkivicar]

I read in the guide about how to solve the chain/bridge In the Cistern area "Another bridge to overcome, then hit the chain with a rock to split it, so that the bridge returns to its position" Question: Can anyoneone tell me How To Do This? Really, It´s Impossible to hit this chain with a rock up In the cealing/roof. You can´t reach there because the bridge is up and you can´t get close enough, so how do you do it? Thanks all.

Throw a rock up to the platform where you climb up to from the ladder, then go up there and throw the rock at the chain. It might take a few tries.

Just throw medium size rock on stucked platform m8.

Hi everyone. Thanks for advice. Sorry but I cant get this part done. How to get the stupid bridge down? I throw rocks but have no chance of hitting the chain nor hitting the bridge with a rock is helping. This kind of stupid things in a game is really enoying me a lot because to this point it has been "easy" coming to this into the cistern. HELP! Can anyone really describle how to do it? And Thanks In Advance :-)

I'm only asking this because it isn't needed very often but did you know there's an actual 'throw' button? It's Left bumber on xbox controllers. Just pick up a rock, aim at the chain and press throw.

Thanks errolthamp :-) I didnt know there was an "throw" button because I havent needed it so far in the game. I use a mouse as "pick up" "use" items control and keyboard keys to move forward,back, left´n right. So at last I figured it out. And "bam" I throw the rock at the chain :-)
Thanks for the hint though :-)

And it's the Right Mouse Button (RMB) when you play with Mouse & Keyboard.

Thanks for the info, guys, I was stuck on this too. I've even watched a few videos and tried to turn the wheels on the machine in the same succession as they did, but nothing helped. I even tried to mirro the way the weights are hanging in the opposite room where the machine that drives the lowering of the first bridge are at. lol

Now I'm going to try trhowing rocks at the chain and at the bridge itself. Wish me luck. ... And good luck to you too, artkivicar. :)

After lowering the first bridge I left the level and went to the basement where I completed the puzzle with the water flooding the floor.

And now that I'm back in the Cistern Room and the Control Room I can't lower the second bridge.

Have I "broken" the game by leaving the area at a time when I should have stayed and lowered both bridges instead of only one?

I'm at my wits' end and will be very grateful to anybody who can provide some advice. Thanks in advance.

Guys, have you been talking about the first bridge here? - I'm trying to lower the second bridge, the one opposite the first bridge, but there is no chain anywhere in the room other than the chains holding up the first bridge, and though I can aim at the bridge alright, and I see the stones and bricks that I throw make a high arch towards the bridge and then fall down again, they never reach the bridge which is simply too high up, there's just no way I can throw that high.

I figured it out. Watched another video where the player mentions when he hears the clicking sound while he turns the wheels on the machine in the Control Room.

I remember hearing those clicks every time I turned the wheels, but for some reason I never thought it was a cue to stop turning the wheel further. This player made me realize it, I went back in-game, and sure enough, the bridge came down half way. I threw a rock at the bridge, it didn't make anything happen, I then threw another rock at the chain holding the bridge, and that did the trick.


You guys have been helpful too, bytheway. :)

There are many things I might not have thought of, such as throwing rocks at the bridge/chain-holding-the-bridge - it's not self evident from the hints you get in-game which says the lever needs a push.

It's so annoying that you need to read about throwing stone controls in here, before you can sollve this. even in the game you can't see your control options.
