2 | Use the Right Thumbstick to control the red spark and rotate the inner gears. Check the red gear at the center of the puzzle to see if it starts spinning. The spinning gears indicate that you have solved the inner gear's puzzle. |
3 | Hold both the Left Thumbstick and Right Thumbstick in the correct orientation so that both the green and red gears start spinning at the same time. Wait for the lock to open to indicate that you have successfuly solved the lockpicking puzzle. |

The Man Behind the Moons Walkthrough
The eight cardinal directions represented by the green and red circles. Rotate the gears at these directions to find the correct puzzle solution.
No matter the level, the solution will ways be in one of the 8 cardinal directions! So if you're feeling a little lost, just keep trying to align them in that direction to solve the puzzle!
The lockpicking puzzle has no time limit, so you can take your time and rotate the gears one at a time.
This allows you to focus on figuring out the correct direction of the gears first before holding the Left and Right Thumbsticks together to solve the puzzle.
If you do not want to solve the lockpicking puzzle on your own, you can switch the difficulty to Story to use the Auto Solve option for the game to solve the puzzle for you.
Go to the Settings menu and navigate to the Gameplay Options tab. Change the Difficulty option to Story to enable the Auto Solve option during the lockpicking puzzle.
