Beneath The Ashes: Father's Secret Study

Climbing to the ledge with the Dragon puzzle/ The Dragon puzzle

Once again, climb up the vertical column near the fence. Turn left and jump to grab the wooden beam jutting from the wall.

Pull up and walk towards the wall. Jump up to grab the handhold on the wall and climb to the next one on the right. Jump to grab the next handhold on the right and...

... traverse around the corner. Grab the ladder and, this time, climb up it.

The Dragon puzzle - There are three sliding plates here, each one depicting a part of a dragon's body; head, body and tail. There is also a small room at the end of the tracks with a metal ring on the wall. The goal here is to arrange the three plates in the correct order, so as to have a complete dragon design. The three dragon statues around the tracks will help your job.

Step on the plate depicting the dragon's body. Use the Grapple to catch the metal ring in the room and...

... press the Interact (Y) button to pull the cable and make the plate slide towards the room. You do not have to slide it inside the room; just leave some space behind it for the next plate that has to slide on the track.

Step on the plate depicting the dragon's tail and use the Grapple to catch the ring. As before, pull the cable to make the plate slide towards the room.

That way, the plate sits behind the first one.

If you released the cable, throw the Grapple again to catch the ring. Facing the small room, walk around the dragon statue on the right to wrap the cable. Step on the plate depicting the dragon's head and pull the cable to make the plate slide to the right hand side of the track.

Again, grapple the ring and wrap the cable around the middle statue (opposite the room). Step on the plate with the tail design and pull the cable to make the plate slide back to the previous track (and in front of the middle statue).

Release the cable and grapple the ring again. This time, wrap the cable around the left statue and step again on the plate with the tail design. Pull the cable to make the plate slide to the left side of the track.

Lastly, grapple the ring again and wrap the cable around the middle statue. Step on the plate with the body design and pull the cable to make the plate slide between the other two plates.

When you do it correctly, the gate beneath the ring opens. Go through it and pick up the Health Pack behind the dragon statue. There is a Treasure behind the bars on the left, but you cannot get it now.

Use the Grapple to catch the metal ring on the statue and pull it outside of the room until it reaches the plates.
