How to get past the fire stone puzzle in area 2

In the second area of the game, there's a puzzle with 3 regenerating fire stones that you have to kill at the same time with the ice spell. The problem is, the game's tutorials are a bit lacking and they don't explain to you anywhere exactly how to do this. This guide will explain it for you and includes a Twitch clip so you can see it in action.

Description

In the second area of the game, there's a puzzle with 3 regenerating fire stones that you have to kill at the same time with the ice spell. The problem is, the game's tutorials are a bit lacking and they don't explain to you anywhere exactly how to do this. It says you can "lock-on" but locking on with your normal lock-on button doesn't work with the charged version of the ice spell. You have to MANUALLY aim at targets AFTER building up a full charge, and it will just stick a "lock-on" cursor over each target, then you can press the "shoot" button to start the barrages. You can see how I did it in the Twitch clip below.

tl;dr

• Equip the Ice spell
  
• Build up a full charge
  
• Use the MANUAL AIM button (NOT your normal lock-on button) and hover over each of the 3 fire stones (releasing the aim button won't lose the targets)
  
• Press the SHOOT button before the charge depletes (you can be standing anywhere, it doesn't matter.)
  
• barrier goes down, ez. continue your adventure and have fun :)

Maybe it's me but all this guide doesn't make sense, I honestly don't know what to do, and I think this puzzle doesn't worth my time.

Good to know. I didn't know about the 2nd target button. (Just like the button to hit with the staff - I found it while remapping after switching from controller to keyboard+mouse. ^^)

I solved the problem by jumping on a pillar next to the entrance.
I attacked each of the pillars on the right 3 times,
then I destroyed the far away and the one close to me
to then move on to the last one - which I destroyed with rapid fire. (aka mashing the button)

Maybe you already noticed it, but it's really easy: just charge ice spell and walk through the fire hall. As long as you have the ice on, you have armour, so it will inflict you 0 damage.

I think that's the point of the game. I mean it's not like dark souls really tells you what you need to do.

i stood on the one near the entrance of the room, locked a charge on the one near the stone rail, shot the one i was standing on and ran to the remaining one and shot it.
