Stuck in Heatherwood Hall co-op checkpoint 9

[marky1124]

My friend and I are playing this co-op and we've got stuck on a puzzle because we don't have a pipe sticking out of the wall.
Have a look at this screenshot - https://www.neoseeker.com/trine-4-the-nightmare-prince/Heatherwood_Hall#Checkpoint_9 and you can see a pipe sticking out, whereas when we got to that area there was no pipe.
This is what we see - https://imgur.com/gallery/uMbth2M
We tried replaying from the most recent checkpoint and it was the same.
Is this a bug?
Cheers,
Mark

There are difference between solo and coop, probably one of these.
The screenshot show a solution with 1 rope, 1 box, 1 shield. Try something with 2 boxes, 2 ropes, 2 shields ^^

Yes, this is by design, so it's not a bug. The solution for the puzzle is different in multiplayer because multiple players are needed to solve it, which is why the pipe is not there.

@LindaFB thank you very much for your reply. I understand that the puzzle design differs between single player and co-op however looking at this Youtube video of a co-op play-through the pipe is clearly there at the 1:50:00 point. https://youtu.be/szdg4txFw6U?t=6600

Please can you double check for me.

The video is classic coop, you are probably in unlimited coop, so as I said before:

This is not a bug in the game, this is a more difficult puzzl than in classic mode that cannot be solved alone.

Thanks very much @Bobywan

Yes, the video is from the classic mode co-op, which differs from unlimited co-op. In unlimited co-op the solution is different: I solved this when playing with a friend by creating a box and levitating it on the other side of the pit. Then, as Zoya we made a rope and connected the box and the ring. Then we both turned into Pontius. One of us stood on the rope, holding up the shield, and the other one jumped on the shield and used his own shield to redirect the water. That's just one solution, though, there are also other ways to solve it.

@LindaFB - funny you should write that. My friend and I just returned to the game this evening and also found your solution. Great game, send my best to the team. Thank you. :)
