How To Unlock the 3 Locked Doors in the Abandoned Mine in Dungeons of Hinterberg

After coming down into the Abandoned Mine, you’ll need to dispatch a few low-level enemies. After doing so, you’ll find your first big puzzle; figuring out how to open the Abandoned Mine’s three locked doors in Dungeons of Hinterberg. To start, you could push the minecart in the middle forward, which opens up the middle door. This gives us a general idea of how to escape the Abandoned Mine in Dungeons of Hinterberg, but we need two more objects.

From here, you’ll want to aim the minecart that is hanging from the ceiling with your newly found magic powers. Press and hold the RB/R1 button to aim, and release it to send your magic ball and chain toward the tendril holding the Minecart to send it crashing down to the floor. You’ll also spot a treasure chest hanging from the ceiling in a similar fashion, so do the same to this to claim 500 Hinterbucks.

For the final pressure plate, you can look around the room and see that there is no final minecart that you can use, and if you just step on it, it closes up instantly. If only we had a way to keep it magically pressed down, even if it is only for a short period. Well, thankfully, we do have that option; press and hold the LB/L1 button to bring out the magic bomb and drop it right on top of the pressure plate.

As long as you don’t press the LB/L1 button again, you should have no problem running through all three of these previously unlocked gates and getting inside the Abandoned Mine. Congratulations; you solved the three door puzzle in the Abandoned Mine of Dungeons of Hinterberg.
