The answers to your first puzzle is found on the walls...also to the left of you those pillars "rotate" when you click on them. (the ones with the animals on them) Up top is the answer to your puzzle, you have to rotate those pillars in their correct order. Are you at the gate where to solider walks up to the lever and pulls it and dies?
The other second one is easy. The answer is on the claw.
Im at the lever where arrows are trying to kill me.
I rotated the pillars until this order: Snake, Eagle, Fish. but nothing happens.
