I think I screwed up in E-3 of Heaven's Labyrinth?
In E-3, there's this weird puzzle with moving blocks, a dais, a griffon statue, and a pressure plate. Not really knowing what was happening, I quickly rushed over to the right and pushed the statue onto the plate. Something happened, so I thought I had solved the puzzle. The only problem was that the dais in the bottom left was inaccessible and there was nothing else to do in the room.

Not thinking much of it at the time, I left to do some progression in Icefire Treetop, and later I checked Viceroy's Hint-Based Guide to Eg-Lana after once again becoming stuck in Heaven's Labyrinth. It says (and I quote): "First of all, MAKE SURE NOT TO PUSH THE STATUE ONTO THE PRESSURE PLATE. IF YOU DO THIS BEFORE USING THE DAIS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ROOM, YOU'RE SCREWED."

Well, too late. What do I do now? If this is completely unfixable, that's incredibly demoralizing and I'm probably putting down the game. At least in the first game, there was a way to reset certain puzzles; is there anything comparable here, or am I really screwed?

The dais is likely the intended solution but both fit with the hint so they probably chose to leave in the other. You can push the Griffon Statue and rush to the sigil, rendering the dais unusable. You can also rush behind the statue before it hits the floor using Gale Fibula, letting you press the dais which spawns a ladder. You can see the indent of where the ladder would have spawned in the room left of the sigil.

Basically the guide you're using poorly/incorrectly explains this puzzle, it's just a bit confusing if you solve it the way you did as the dais is then left there unused.

Does the puzzle not reset when you re-enter the room? I seem to remember it would in previous versions.

No, it doesn't reset when I re-enter or when I rotate the area using the Celestial Disk.

It did reset before I pushed the statue onto the pressure plate, but not anymore.

What do you mean there was nothing left to do in the room? If you broke open the Life Sigil in that room, then everything should be fine.

I did break the sigil, but the dais in the bottom-left is now completely inaccessible. I'm not sure what it does or if it's required for progression, admittedly.

Thank you! I appreciate the explanation. Looks like I don't have to worry about being progress-locked.

Its worth noting that I did it using the rush to the seal method and faced no continuing problems. After a hour or two the dias also disapered.
