Puzzle & Key Items

For the needed script entries, see the vanilla BtB Venice script entry.

Puzzle Item 1: Nitrous Oxide Feeder

Combo 1 - Valve Pipe (needs OCB 2 and a crowbar)
Combo 2 - Nitrous Oxide Cannister

Lara needs the crowbar to pry the wires out of the fuse box. You can build the shatterable fuse box with DEBRIS 4 and SHATTER 2.

Puzzle Item 9: Card
Put -445 into the OCB of Puzzle Hole 9 so that Lara will use the correct animation.

Key Item 12
This bundle of keys can be used multiple times. Thus once instance of Key Item 12 can unlock infinitely many instances of Key Hole 12.

The Element Puzzle

To create the full Element Puzzle you need:

1 Small Waterskin
1 Bottle of Wine (Pickup Item 1)
1 Bag of Sand/Earth/etc. (Pickup Item 2)
1 Torch to light the wine
1 shallow pool of water to fill the waterskin
1 Flame Emitter for Lara to light the torch
3 Element_Puzzle instances with different OCB settings, see below.

OCB 0 - Lara needs to pour in water from the waterskin
OCB 1 - Lara needs to pour in wine from the bottle and then lights it with the torch
OCB 2 - Lara needs to pour the content of the bag into the bowl

Place a heavy trigger underneath the element puzzle in order to trigger something when Lara does the appropriate action. You can use either use one, two or all three of the bowls. Please keep in mind though that Lara cannot carry more than one wine bottle or more than one bag of sand with her at once.

Warning!
If the player saves and reloads the game after pouring in the wine and before lighting it with a torch the wine disappears and the puzzle cannot be completed anymore. Make sure the torch and a flame are near the element puzzle to prevent this bug.
This bug will also be mentioned in the BtB readme for the players.
