Chapter 3, pillars

[julia-10]

Previously, if you turn the columns correctly, a light path lights up. Now nothing lights up. How to rotate columns correctly?

[Innocentive]

As far as I understand, thispuzzle was bugged at release. Once a single pillar was turned into the correct position it lit up. However, the intended solution is to position all five pillars correctly, only then will they light up. That is the current state of the puzzle. Note that the outer four pillars all have the same pattern to complete.

[julia-10]

Please show the position of the columns.

[Innocentive]

Have a look in my achievement guide under the achievement name ‚No Stone Left Unturned‘ and you will find a screenshot of how the outer four pillars have to be „connected“. Once you have set those four, simply turn the center pillar until it gets locked.

I do the same, but the game starts to push me out of the circle of columns, then the monster attacks

That doesn't sound right, at least I have never experienced anything like that. How does the game push you? Is your avatar slowly moved out of the puzzle area?

[julia-10]

Yes. It's the last shard. Or maybe it's bug.

[Innocentive]

Sounds like one ... maybe contact the devs?

never heard about it before, when does the automatic movement of the character happen? the columns should be quite precisely aligned before you solve the puzzle

[julia-10]

I'm standing inside the circle. I twist the columns, bypassing them several times; I need to make sure that there is a continuous line. Then something starts to wind me from side to side. If I throw out of the circle, the monster attacks.

And another problem: after your patches the game runs every second time

I met the same problem (several times ) and can't achieve this puzzle for the moment.

[The Irritable Medic]

For the record, I'm experiencing both problems.

I've aligned the outer ones to match each other, then rotated the inner one. No change. I *think* I have them right...

I'm being pulled in circles and figure eights after rotating the pillars for a while. This has happened twice. I'd originally thought it was a bug with my mouse, but it persisted on a pillars savegame and not on an earlier one.

I cannot get past the pillars either, tried to match pictures from guides and several videos, but no luck. I have also encountered the "being pushed around" bug inside the circle, it stopped after i got killed. No matter what i do i cannot get the pillars to activate.

I have successed at the end, with enlarging the view as much as my computer can support it and using the right and left key, if that may help some others players in the same case. There is not a bug, but a very strong lag, perhaps my G-force is a bit short.
