Okay i have read some where that you must get a fuse from the hole. but there are some steal bars for the hole. How do you break them? because that is what i am supposed to do right?

I just watched some youtube walkthroughs of this part.

You only need to move the barrel (it has already gasoline spilled on it) under the fuse box and lower the switch to produce sparkles are light it with fire. Then place it under the sprinklers and you are good to go.

This is the old solution i know how that one works but since the update there is another solution needed, the electric box won't produce sparks and the barrel is already on fire. I heard you must break the iron bars above the hole then jump in and get a fuse. then place the fuse in the electric box and turn the switch. now place the barrel (which is already lit) under the sprinklers and then it works

BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO BREAK THOSE BARS!!!

I and many other players need help!

In the beginning of the game you need to enter a room with trusted blood, after I did that i came in this room with sprinklers and unaturel light and stuff.

Since the update there is a new solution needed to solve the puzzle. The barrel is already lit on fire and to make the sprinklers work i heard you must find a hole in the ground (it's behind the door on the right) but there are some bars above it. I can't destroy the bars! people on the forum said the fuse is under the bars but i can't reach it! so now me and a lot of people are stuck in this room.

what is the solution?
Or isthis a bug?

Was trying to picture this room in my head as I thought it was Amnesia, but I recall this spot in Penumbra BP. I can't fully remember how to solve it and I remember trying a hella long time to set that barrel of oil on fire, I guess the fact that it is already lit is making me scratch my head. When you are talking about the hole in the ground I kinda recall it being a grid that you just lift up and walk down if I am correct.

I am sorry I tried to help you with what I can remember and what logic I can make out of the situation, perhaps some wiser souls who have played the game after the update can help you

What? I played the Penumbra series at 2011 with the latest update v1.1 (collection version). There is no update that changes the puzzle. From where is the game?

Edit: At v1.01 update notes I found this

Quote:Added alternate solutions to puzzle in level 2 & Level 4

Maybe this puzzle can be solved differently then. But still, you can always try the easy solution. To "restart" the puzzle just load an earlier save game before entering that specific room.

Check my edit. I will move this to the technical support area where Jens will see it way faster. If anyone, Jens should know for sure whether this specific puzzle has more solutions or whatever. Are you the one who I was talking to some weeks ago about the same problem? I remember something.
