Walkthrough

1
The blocks used to hold down the pressure pads (which activate the flame) are breakable.
2
When standing on a pressure pad and throwing a block through a gate, it's possible for the block to hit the gate and land below it.
3
If you move off the pad to retrieve the block, the gate will fall and crush it.
4
This usually isn't a problem for normal gameplay, as only 2 blocks are needed to light the flame.
5
However, if you want to collect the relic, this becomes impossible because you need 2 blocks to keep the gates open and the other 2 to place on the pressure pad near the relic.
6
If a block is destroyed this way during normal gameplay, it will not reappear if you return to this level in Treasure Hunt mode.
7
This also occurs if you try to reload the level from an earlier save point.

Tips

Be extremely careful when throwing blocks through gates to avoid them being crushed.
Prioritize keeping the gates open if you intend to collect the relic.
If you are only focused on lighting the flame, you only need 2 blocks, making the puzzle less prone to failure.
