How to unlock the Just us and them achievement in Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands - Definitive Guide

After Malik tells you to close the gates there will be a short cutscene showing the gears and levers that need to be manipulated.

There are 3 levers I will refer to them as left ( L), middle (M), and right (R) as they appear when you are facing the gears.

The next letter will be either U (up) or D (down) which refers to which direction you should move your analog stick when moving the lever.

Finally the number is how many times you will turn that lever.

For example RU2 = hold on to the right lever and push up on your analog 2 times.

Follow this exactly and the gate will close. *Note* If you have already attempted to figure it out and couldn't you need to reload your last checkpoint so you have a clean slate, otherwise this won't work.

RU1

LU2

RU1

LU2

RD2

MD2

Turn the left post until the gear reaches the very end of the track.

MU1

Turn the left post until the puzzle ends.

After the cutscene ends, jump onto the new platform on the wheel. Jump to the wall- (there are bricks you will grab onto) Go to the top, wall run up to the switch, then jump off it onto the pole. The wheel will turn and the platform will be in front of the pole. Jump to it, and achievement unlocked.

Thanks for the tip. Just to clarify, when for anyone else, when he says "Turn the left post until the gear reaches the very end of the track" & "Turn the left post until the puzzle ends" he means to push the analog stick down on left post so the gear moves from right to left. Common sense really but just thought I'd mention it. Thanks again for the solution blomphil2.

This is story related and cannot be missed.

Once more continue through the story mode pass all of the big contraptions with wheels, platforms, beams etc. Eventually you will come to a room with 3 levers and a puzzle up on the wall in front, you need to solve this puzzle to close the fortress gates. Your objective here is to move the small wheel to the left hand side and match it up next to the other cog. Do this by turning each of the 3 levers separately, below is a bit of information on the levers.

TIPS:

Far Left Lever – This only moves the small wheel on the puzzle
The Middle Lever – This moves the left & middle bar on the puzzle
The Far Right Lever – This only moves the middle bar and far right bar on the puzzle.

The wheel can only move along the straight edges of the bars. If the wheel happens to get caught in the corner of a bar then the bars will be stuck until you remove it.

Once you have solved the puzzle a cut-scene will play where you will talk to Malik, this is when you will earn your trophy.

Sequence of lever use:
3 - 1 right, 2 - 1 right, 1 - 2 right, 2 - 1 left, 3 - 1 right, 1 - 2 left, 3 - 1 right, 2 - 1 left, 3 - 1 right, 2 - 1 left, 1 - 2 left, 2 - 1 left, 1 - 1 left.

Z.y. For those who are dumb, left is counterclockwise, right is clockwise.

I'll give you a little hint: move the gear up, then to the left, then turn the lever on the far right. It should become clear what to do next)))
