How to Solve the Pillar Puzzle in Lake Cynon in Hell Is Us

• Once you arrive at Lake Cynon, go down the hill and you'll come to a pool of water surrounded by pillars.
• The white pillars each bear a symbol. If you hit them with your weapon, they will start glowing.
• In order to solve this puzzle, you need to hit these five pillars in the correct order.
• The solution can be discovered in the surrounding area; there are more pillars, topped with a circular crest, that will tell you the order when you put them all together.

• To the southwest of the pool, you can find the first answer.
• The second answer is north of the pool.

• The third answer is located northwest of the pool; it's broken.
• The fourth answer is located close to the previous one on the west side of the pool.
• The fifth answer is right next to the pool on its east side.

• After observing all these pillars, you should now know the correct order to hit the white pillars. The sequence is:
  • Crown
  • Water
  • Key
  • Star
  • Cup

• Once done, go to the panel that's opened up to pick up the Gear - Spindle.
• Go left to the pool and interact with the gear, using the spindle. This will lower the water of the pool.
• When the water has drained, you'll be able to access the Lymbic Forge, where another puzzle awaits.
