Cathedral Pipe Bug
I think I've stumbled on one of the many bugs in this area. Have I got no way of advancing...? Am I going to have to start over? I've turned all three valves and kicked the pipe in place, but the three pipes don't push me up high enough. Read about re-doing the wheels again, but I've discovered the third one has completely vanished! Has anyone else encountered this?

It's rare bug, no one trully knows how he triggers :kain:. I advise you to use the console command and fly past this place and then continue playing normally. At the end of this guide it is written how to use it, it is very simple :Goku: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3382028723

Ah, I see. Do you know if this bug exists in the original? I have filed a bug report to the developers with my save, but I'm not sure how helpful that will be. I just hope using console commands doesn't lock me out of unlocking achievements.

Don't worry, console commands doesn't lock achievements at all. And about bug report... Support for the game has ended, there will be no more patches unfortunately :neighbour:

Ah, damn. That sucks. :( Hate it when that happens. Okay, thanks anyway. I'll look into the console commands to get me out of there.

Okay, I had to use Google Translate, but I'm not sure where it mentions the console commands. I tried doing a word search, but it comes up with nothing. Where abouts is that covered? Thanks.

Okay, next question lol. I'm in fly-mode, but how do you go up? I can only seem to move around forwards, backwards, and to the sides.

Hold SHIFT + W + right mouse button to go up

Seriously? Why would they just end support? What possible reason would there be not to fix game breaking bugs like this?
My thoughts exactly. It's ridiculous. I'm still curious if the bug is present in the original, but I'm guessing not.

But thanks for that; it worked and I was able to go up the pipe and face the boss. I just hope there are no more bugs like this. :-\

Because most of the time they just can't. Not clear reproduction steps, low chance, etc. Both remasters use same game engine as original games but with modifications...and that makes difficult to fix such bugs without breaking something else :kain: (Especially if you take into account that the original game was created in a hurry and with prayers for the engine to work)
And some bugs happen due to specific PC settings and drives. I remember a time when a person couldn't play the game normally because the drivers forcibly set the game to an unlimited frame rate
Speaking of bugs that haven't been fixed - encountered this one just.

I was facing the same issue. I discovered there was no bug, but rather a lack of understanding on my side.

I found a video on YT detailing how to activate those 3 pipes to glide me up. In game, I managed to activate the first pipe and no matter how many times I turned those wheels, they wouldn't break and the other two pipes didn't activate.

I found this post and read about activating -dev, so I exited the game and activated it.

When entering the game, I had to take the looooong walk back to the Silenced Citadel. As I ascended and reached the room with the 3 pipes that you gotta activate, I noticed something: the big area that you glide through that gets you to the three pipes: there are 2 pipes you gotta push! I pushed them and then I could turn the wheels and activate all 3 pipes! :O

If you're already at the 3 pipes, it's the room RIGHT BEFORE this one (not the one with the church pipe organ pipes!).
