Root’s End Ruins Solution
Head to the left side of the room and look for a lever on the wall. Interact with it to turn on the elevator and ride it up to the next floor.

Go near the pedestal on the balcony and interact with it using the Axiom Force ability. Use your Axiom Force ability by holding L3 on your controller. This gives you control of the big pillar standing in the middle of the room below.

Look up at the ceiling, and you will see three gears up there. Your job is to move the pillar to each gear, one at a time, and turn them into the right position.
Start by moving the pillar underneath the first gear. Now start rotating the first gear from left to right. Keep turning it slowly and listen carefully. When the gear clicks into the correct spot, you will hear a clear locking sound. Stop turning as soon as you hear it. Do the same thing with the second gear. Move the pillar to it, bring it down, and rotate it until you hear the locking sound. Then do it one more time with the third gear.

Once all three gears are locked into the right positions, the middle gear will light up and drop down from the ceiling. Move the pillar to the center of the room and interact with the middle gear.

Start rotating it just like you did with the other three. Keep turning until a cut scene starts playing on your screen. This will complete the puzzle
