During the Ares questline, you’ll inevitably find yourself inside Ajax’s Fort.
Note: Spoilers follow, obviously.
You’ve been warned.
So if video is your medium of choice, then take a look!
First mechanism walkthrough
The first mechanism is on the south-west side.
Go up the stairs and inside the building at the top.
You need two puzzle cubes to activate this weighted pressure plate, so use the first cube to break the barrier at the end to reveal a second cube.
Jump up to the platform to your right and press the button to activate the puzzle.
You should see before you multiple platforms of different heights with circular pressure plates at the tops.
A laser traces a path between them all.
You need two puzzle cubes to activate this weighted pressure plate, so use the first cube to break the barrier at the end to reveal a second cube.
Now pull both these cubes and position them on the pressure plate just beyond the lasers to deactivate them.
Now return to the main entrance, and press the circular buttons in order.
Just follow the lasers and you’ll get the right order.
Throw the cube up onto the platform to your left, then follow it up there.
Hitting the final button will open a passage next to you at the top.
Take the cube, and throw it through the lasers onto the ledge high up to your left.
Then climb up the side to follow it.
The second button again requires two cubes. You’ll have to really hurl this cube in order to get it up to the top.
That’s one of the two buttons pressed.
Drop back down into the flooded ground floor, and head south through the giant broken wall.
At the end there’s a cube and a pressure plate in a room barred from you.
This will lower the barrier so you’re free to enter the first room.
Press the button, then take the cube off the pressure plate.
Then press the button again.
This will allow you to escape the room with the cube.
Throw the cube up to the very top platform above you on the east side.
Climb up there, and defeat the guards.
You’ll see at the end of this area a room with a barrier preventing you from entering.
Beyond the barrier is a large cube, and above the barrier is a broken wall.
Throw the small cube through the broken wall and follow it.
