problem concealed ruins

[rschmitz]

tower location north/east top/right of the map "concealed ruins"

i have a problem with thoss up/down moving pillars
am i correct in my assumption that i somehow have to get on the very top of those pillars in order to activate the next pylon ?

well, i tried exactly that hmmm i dont know how often, by jumping onto the crevice/platform part of each of those moving pillars

but as soon as any of the moving pillars is starting to raise itself upwards, my dwarf falls straight THROUGH that pillar to the ground

there is also NO WAY to sync the upward movement of the pillars with a jump of my dwarf in order to archive a mega high jump

i also tried to make my way up by jumping onto the outsides of the moving pillars when thy are in their up or down position, then jumping onto a higher positon on the static pillars

but no luck so far

is this a bug ?
is there another puzzle that i have to solve before it will let the pillars take my upwards with their movement ?
or am i just to stupid ?

even though i did read that there are people who claim to have finished this game
i found no clue/solution to this problem

regards

I have exactly the same issue - did you ever get a solution to this?

I managed to get through this one so if it was a bug it might be fixed

I was able to get through eventually as well - just seemed impossible. I assume the Dev just wanted this one as very tough, which is fair enough,

Thanks for reply

how ? please explain

[Andrax]

I ended up starting on the far left and then jumped from the first moving pillar to the next on the right and then timed my jump back to the left moving pillar as it was rising (with and extra jump up when I was superimposed in the pillar.

From there it was staight forward :)

on the outside of the pillars ? cuz i wrote that as soon as as each pillars moves up while you are stainding inside its platform, my dwarf falls through the pillar to the ground.
Also i have no idea how to archive a superjump i tried to coordinate it with the starting upward movement of the pillars.
(doesnt work cuz my dwarf falls through the pillar to the ground as soons as the pillar starts to move)

I just got back into the game and did the concealed ruins again to refresh my memory.

Here's how I did it this time:

-You start the level by coming in from the left side and moving right

-First Pillar that you come to,moves up and down - jump through the gap, when it's down, and wait for it to go back up.

-Jump up, the first pillar, to the gap you came though, and then jump/dash to the next pillar, to your right (which doesn't move).

-You then want to jump/dash to the left moving pillar, when it's in the down position - the aim is to get onto the top of the platform that has the chest on it. This is the tricky part as you have to time the jump/dash, or you miss it. Once on the top of the first,moving pillar (with the chest) - quickly jump the the right pillar. You want to do all this when the left pillar is in the down position and completed before it moves back up.

-From here it's a straight forward process to the beacon.

Here's a screenshot of where you need ot end up - hope this all helps :)

i think you need to jump before it goes up to prevent the falling through thing (atleast that workd for me)

Just one problem. It's a wrong ruin. The one discussed here is "north/east top/right" of the map, at the very edge of the snow area.

@andrax you sure you have the right ruins? https://ror.blzr.me/#id/219 is Concealed Ruins. Your solution doesn't mention any button presses, so it makes me think you are looking at the wrong place.

edit: crud, 219 and 222 are both called Concealed Ruins. LAME.

@MreeBiPolar just found out there are multiple sites with that name. @Plem is talking about Concealed Ruins #68
