Solution to the statue puzzle

As the ghostly figure near the puzzle suggests, you have to do this Execute a push attack on the black postby pressing Shift + right click (on the controller: R1/RB + Triangle/Y). This will ram your sword into the post and allow you to move the floor grid around the central statue.

Before you move the grid, you should first do the two Remove column pieces to the left and right of the statue. Lift them up and then smash them on the ground with the downward blow so that they don’t interfere with further puzzle solving.

The main statue in the center emits a beam of light that points to smaller statues with symbols. At first he only points to one statue (with some kind of plate/shield), then later to three and finally to five statues as you complete each step. After each phase, the symbols on the floor changeso you have to check the pattern again to find the right combination.

Here is the order of the symbols and their respective positions on the grid:

• Plate: Rotates the grid 90 degrees to the left
  

  

• Scales, jug, harp: From the previous position, move slightly to the right, closer to the center
  

  

• Horse, plate, horse, jug, scales, harp: Move the grid to the right again until you are almost directly in front of the statue
