Open the waterfall route

The opening mechanism reveals the temple behind the waterfall. Inside, the route passes through the waterwheel room and climbs toward the blocked water supply. A wheel that has not started turning is a puzzle state, not a platforming shortcut you must force.

Release the statue mechanism

In the upper water puzzle, inspect the statue’s hand restraints and the pressure plates. The grapple can attach to its chest, but pulling does not finish the puzzle while the hands remain locked.

Use the movable box to hold one plate. Return to the other plate and let its mechanism complete its movement. Coordinate the released restraints before grappling the statue. The resulting water flow changes the route back through the wheel room.

Why Rutland recovers health

Rutland uses the raised platforms around his arena to heal. Repeating ordinary gunfire without addressing that behavior can make the encounter feel endless. Watch when he retreats upward; the reference walkthrough describes both a sustained-damage grenade approach and a longer environmental strategy.

Keep moving to avoid his close-range attacks. If resources are low, retain a save before the encounter rather than assuming every attempt will restore spent ammunition.
