Great guide, thank you for making it fast & easy to follow along!
Puzzles in SOTTR are pain sometimes
I know that Shadow of the tomb raider is seen as a mediocre TR/mediocre game in general. i can see what people are talking about (I've played in TR 1996/LAU trilogy/ both reboots and I'm familiar with other games through walkthroughs)
Personally thought, it wasn't the worst experience in my life
It was advertised to me as something terrible that crumbles apart in the front of your eyes while you're playing but I'm still able to have fun and i like some new mechanics
Yeah, it has a weak plot, some puzzles are trying to be hard but in reality they're simply confusing/you lack context which can be really annoying
I doubt that I'd have recommended it to anyone but it's solid if you have nothing better to do lol
Maybe i lack standards for games but idc

This seems to be a PC only related BUG. Its actually Vsyc setting. I have a 240hz monitor and had Vsync OFF and and earlier puzzle was totally missing its animation and would not work. I set it to 120HZ and Vysync ON. That puzzle worked then. But this puzzle will not work unless you put the refresh at 60hz and vsync ON. Its probably a console port bug. Since consoles cant do 240hz. Bummer because the game plays super smooth at 120hz locked vsync on or off. 60hz is ok but not as smooth. This game is bugged due to console port. Play it at 60hz/vsyn ON and the puzzles work normally. People with fast vid cards get punished.

I'm not denying the fact for some people there might be a bug. The initial connection for both the turning statues is actually to get the second smaller one into position. Then cut the rope to bring the larger turning stile to match up the tunnels. After release the blood oil mixture and burning oil. Hopefully, that helps because I didn't want to start over again. Someone's said it in the comments section you don't need to keep the turning statues connected. I worked on this for a while.

This is the only puzzle in this game that I have had to look up so far. The only other puzzle in the -entire- trilogy that I've had to look up (excluding the challenge tombs which I -intentionally- skip) was the one inside of Lara's father's Estate during her flashback (I would have never figured that sh-% out. I normally do not mind puzzles in video games, but this one said F-#% the combat, and just cranked them up to a thousand.

I wouldn't mind this puzzle nearly as much as I do if it wasn't for the fact it is seriously bugged. The time I wasted on trying to figure out if I had to disconnect and reconnect the ropes in certain orders to rotate them a certain way. just ugh

seems to be some bug in the pc version. had to reload check point, as someone mentioned to get the second wheel into the right position. I figged out the logic, but it would not let me rotate to the proper position no matter what

When you first start to rotate. You rotate it twice. I am on PC. It rotates the first one but never starts the second rotation. I have tried different combinations of W A, and also tried an Xbox 360 controller. Any ideas?

Goodness gracious the puzzle in this game is ok but they over puzzled this game imo. Especially this one it is infuriating and time wasting. U don-t need a puzzle every next scene some people dont have a lot of time to play

I swear this made me rage. It got buggy because i moved the first real first without attaching the 2nd real. After that it wasnt possible to get it right. You have to suicide and start over again as shown in the video!

I gave up after this puzzle. I was tempted to stop playing this game since the first puzzle, but I have resisted. Until now. Enough is enough. One of the worst games I have played this year

Quick question for those that may be able to help. I did this already and when I went back the wood barrier has returned, and there's no way to get more oil

I can only turn the damn thing about halfway to the next position before torque stops me in my tracks. This is a bug, right? Such a waste of time.

i figured something out, you can use a FIRE ARROW to light it on fire since theres a pool of oil literally in front of the sticks
