The cog wheel challenge involving Indiana Jones requires you to repair a Khmer mechanism located in Sukhothai. To unlock a concealed gate, you’ll need to add cogs to both a left and right gear system. There are various gears scattered throughout the area that must be correctly positioned to get the mechanism operational. However, it can be confusing since you won’t have enough cogs to fix both sides simultaneously. You’ll first need to repair one side and then take some of its parts to complete the other side.
### Locating the Cogs for the Gate Puzzle
In the main chamber, you can find a total of four cogs, consisting of two smaller ones and two larger ones. Additionally, there’s another small cog located behind the Left Gear Train on a ledge, which you might discover while addressing the water issue on the platform. This platform is essential for pulling the pipe to initiate water flow.
This totals three small cogs and two large ones. Be sure to get the water running over the wheel behind the Left Gear Train; otherwise, you won’t be able to solve that portion of the puzzle later.
### Right Gear Train Puzzle Solution
For the Right Gear Train in Indiana Jones, you will need all three small cogs and one large cog to connect the central cog to the one on the right. Once you correctly place these, pulling the lever will cause the two statues to drop into the floor, indicating that you’ve successfully completed that section. Afterward, you can dismantle the cogs to use them for the left side.
### Left Gear Train Puzzle Solution
To solve the Left Gear Train puzzle, you’ll need all the cogs you’ve gathered: two large and three small. Your goal is to connect the central cog with the cog on the left side. When you have it configured properly, the two statues will once again sink into the floor, signaling that the puzzle is resolved. If you haven’t yet addressed the right side of the puzzle, you can now take the cogs from the left to assist you there.
### Opening the Hidden Gate
Once both gear trains are correctly solved and functioning, the final step is to turn the highlighted wheel. This action will open the hidden gate, allowing Indiana and Gina to move forward and explore what lies beyond.
