In LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, unlocking Gotham's fast travel points requires solving puzzles at the SubWayne stations. The Cauldron South puzzle is one of the most complex: a powerless crane and a blue container block the entrance. The solution isn't where it seems. You must ignore that obstacle and search the right corner of the tunnel.
The hidden mechanics behind the crane and the container 🎮
The technical trick lies in the game prioritizing interaction with the secondary environment. By driving a vehicle toward the right corner, you discover another container that can be flipped over. Behind it appears a shed with a lever. Activating it restores power to the crane, which then moves the initial blue container. The design forces the player to explore outside the obvious path, using object physics to progress.
Because yes, the crane was working, it was just on strike 😂
In other words, the crane had power but didn't use it until you activate a hidden lever in a shed that appears after flipping another container. It's like if your microwave at home didn't work until you found a switch behind the sofa. Good thing LEGO puzzles don't apply to real life, or you'd never leave the house.
