Indiana Jones and the Great Circle’s extensive list of puzzles will keep you busy for hours. Some of them can be solved rather quickly, but others will require a bit more time and effort. During the Blessed Pearl main story quest, you have to solve a series of puzzles till you get to reach the final area. Along the way, you will come across a puzzle area with cogwheels, and solving it will unlock the Hidden Gate. In this guide, we show you how to easily solve the Hidden Gate puzzle in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
How To Solve The Hidden Gate Puzzle In Indiana Jones And The Great Circle
When you reach the Hidden Pyramid location on the northwestern section of the Sukhothai map, you will find the puzzle right at the entrance. Solving it will help you get entry into the pyramid, so let’s get down to solving it. Look around and you will spot two gear trains, one on the left and another on the right. Take pictures of them to get to know what you should be doing next. You will get an indication to find more cogs to add to the puzzle. There are three parts to this – get the cogs, solve the Left Gear Train, and then the Right One.
Step 1: Get All The Cogs
- You can find two smaller cogs and two large cogs in the main puzzle area. For now, just pick up the smaller cogs and add them to your inventory.
- There is a hole in the wall near the left gear train, so get into that and hop up on the platforms on the left.
- Get up on the ledge and pick up the third small cogwheel.
- Right across you will spot a ring on the wall that you can pull using your whip, and this will make water pour out of the hole and rotate the giant cog in the room.
Step 2: Get The Left Gear Train In Place
- Pick up one of the bigger cogs on the floor and place it on the leftmost bottom hole.
- Place the mini cogwheel right beside it.
- Pick up the second big cogwheel off the floor and place it near the giant cogwheel.
- Place two smaller cogwheels between the two large cogwheels,
- Pull the cogwheel lever to make it move. You will know the cogwheel positions are placed correctly when the two statues on either side move downwards.
Step 3: Get The Right Gear Train In Place
- You have to pick up the cogs from the left gear train and arrange them on the right train.
- We will start by placing a big cog in the central hole, followed by smaller cogs in the remaining areas.
Now, pull the lever in front of the cogwheels and a secret lever will be revealed to you, thus helping you complete the rest of the questline. Be sure to pick up the three smaller cogwheels to help you with the Khmer Cogwheel puzzle in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
