Lower City Water Wheel Puzzle in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
When one initially enters the puzzle room, one will notice a giant wheel with two poles to swing and a smaller wheel with one pole. There are two pressure plates on the floor and two levers on the ceiling. The player can turn the levers to let the water flow, then stand on pressure plates to rotate the wheels. The goal is to reach and pull the lever at the upper right corner of the room to open the door to exit the room.
Step #1: Activate the First Lever
Use the poles at the bottom and left of the giant wheel to jump up to reach the handle on the left wall. Now jump off to the right to hit the first switch on the ceiling with your swords and drop to the ground.
Position yourself on the left pressure plate to rotate the giant water wheel 90° counterclockwise, causing the poles to shift to the bottom and the right.
Step #2: Activate the Second Lever
Now use the poles on the smaller wheel to swing up towards the ceiling to reach the other lever to hit it.
Step #3: Pull the Handle Switch
Step onto the right pressure plate to reposition the swing of the small wheel to the top. Subsequently, stand on the right pressure plate again to adjust the positions of the swings on the larger wheel to 6 and 3.
Swing the poles across and up to the right to grab the handle in the upper right corner of the room. This will open the door to exit the puzzle room.
