Solution

In chapter 4, entitled Winter, there is a little musical notes puzzle that some find frustrating. Here is the solution, nice and simple:

There are three symbols etched onto the wall of the cave at the far end of the upper cavern. The glowing power source you “liberated” from the cave dwellers earlier to power the water wheel reveals them to you.

From left to right we will number them 1,2, and 3.

Simply use the action button on:

Symbol 1 (leftmost)
Symbol 2 (middle)
Symbol 1 (Leftmost)
Symbol 3 (Rightmost)

Viola!

Enjoy the Journey Dreamers!

This part was annoying. I didnt notice any clues as to how the music should go so I just watched the solution on youtube

another latecomer who's grateful. an absolutely idiotic "puzzle".

Thanks for the solution.

I'm late to the party, but whoever designed this should be fired from the industry... This is why adventure games are dead, stupid logic like this.

Thank you!

Apparently the tune plays when you turn the water wheel. There is no hint that the melody will be significant or any kind of clue that you will need to remember it. You also can't reproduce it in any way. I had the sound turned down so I never even heard it in the first place. It's just shitty game design.

How were you supposed to figure this out? Did they intend for you to just guess the combo, or was this melody played somewhere earlier in the game?

Viola: A musical instrument
Voila: A term meaning "there it is"
Might want to fix that

espsecially as there is NO other hint.

I know, lol

IU've played the game numerous times and I always found this part frustrating. After writing the sequence down for myself I thought others might appreciate the hint as well.

This is just an annoying puzzel. I mean, there's no hint on how the hell to do this and with three symbols that could mean anything and four notes there's a shit load of combinations it could possibly be. Urgh!
