    I am unsure of where you are.
    There is a "central platform" that slowly rises as you accomplish certain tasks.
    There is a column that moves up and down onto which one jumps from the central platform.
    There are certain side panels that move up and down; but those are easily traversed.

    What other recent events happened?
    - did you wall run through a slow or fast moving gear?
    - did you swing off a pole or bar or a series of poles?
    - did you defeat a sand creature bandit or a pack of exploding lizard beasts?

    At least I could use some more information in order to assist you.

    You have to run across the wall, then jump back and forth up the wall until you getto the ledge.

    i got past the the two wheels spinning in the walls, then you jump from post to post to the small room and activate the platform that moves up and down. i tried to jump from wall to wall but every time i go for the first jump i just fall.

    Clockwork and Gears. Mechanical Pit. (Past)

    You recently did a wall run left through a rotating wheel, fought some sand creature bandits on a wooden platform, slowed time, wall run left through a faster rotating wheel and jumped over to a column.
    You jumped from column to column to a platform with a turnstile lever.
    You rotated the lever. You did a wall run left to the vertically moving platform.

    You may rest and catch your breath on that platform.
    Reverse directions. As the platform is near its highest point, wall run right and bounce your way up onto either a wooden platform or into a doorway.

    If you wall run too far to the end, you bounce off of the far wall back over to the platform.
    When that happens, just try again. You have run too far along the wall.

    You have quite a wide target area to choose when you want to bounce off the wall over to the left and then continue bouncing back-and-forth to the top.

    Enjoy!

    i have a bit different problem with this. I reach the alcove after jumping off several pillars where you have the lever. Now, i try to turn it 180 degrees clockwise but it only turns
    90 degrees and nothing happens really. I tried to turn it another 90 degrees but nothjng. Then, i tried to turn that counter-clockwise but it only turned clockwise and so i realized my direction was correct. I am trying to figure out if i am going to wait like 1 minute and do a one more 90 degree turn. Anyways, yOu had indicated that an "elevator" goes up and down and you have to wall-run to reach it etc. Well, my lever doesn't seem to activate the
    elevator as nothing happens. I tried that almost 10 times but i had nothing but the lever turning. What am i doing wrong? Is my game faulty? Please help!!!

    Some rotating levers may only be moved 90 degrees.
    It depends upon where you are in the game.
    When you read something in this forum or in some walkthrough guide, you might think you are somewhere when in fact you are somewhere else.

    It is important to display your in-game map.
    Tell us your current location (words in the lower left hand corner of the map.)
    Tell us your objective (words at the top of the map.)

    Then describe which of the fifty (?) alcoves you are currently located. Describe what you recently did to get there. (wall run, climb, kill what type of sand creature(s), opened artwork chest, climb/descend ladder, etc.)

    <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by cemrep:
    FÄ?rst of all thank you for warning me as i should have been more specific.

    I am as you know in the episode "clockworks and gears-mechanical pit-past", where you see the sandwraith for the second time and you wall run, kill 2 guardians and then you use the eye of the storm to get past that wheel, jump to a pillar as you wall run and then you reach to that little alcove after 4 pillars. You have to turn that lever, i believe, to activate the platform/elevator that goes up and down continuously, as it was indicated in the game guide. My objective i believe is to go up and activate the second clockwork but anyway here is the picture.

    The game map

    The alcove-from the back

    The alcove-"about face"

    My location: Mechanical Pit-Past
    My objective: Activate the towers (Past)

    So my real problem is when i reach that alcove and turn the lever, which goes only 90 degrees, nothing happens, i can't see the platform moving. It just stands still and there is nothing i can do to reach that with a wall run. So i tried to jump back to that pillar which i just jumped from but i would fall down. Or i would do a wall run form the left (the left wall from the back of the alcove's perspective) but it would be a dead end for me and i'd fall again.

    My question and concern is if i had done something wrong that i can't proceed with the game anymore. Or is it just my game that has this problem, that the platform/elevator should have at least moved?

    Thanks for any help! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
