Darksiders 2 ivory citadel portal bug

Bugged Ivory Citadel puzzle (Can not progress)

So I made it to the Ivory Citadel after putting the rod of Arafel back together. I then made it to the puzzle room where you have to split your soul, and have your stone statue drop down through the floor and get shot out of the portals to make it to the other side of the bars, thus completing the puzzle and allowing you to climb the rest of this area. However, when I do the puzzle, the portal doesn't shoot me out at all. It just drops me a few feet out of the portal and back onto the floor. It isn't shooting me across the room like it's supposed to. I've looked up guides on youtube that show the same puzzle, and I'm doing it correctly but it just seems to be bugged. I have all the DLC and I got the game off of Steam, so I dunno what else to do. I only have one save game too, so I can't exactly go back to restart the Ivory Citadel.

Anyone know how to fix this or is my game just borked? :\

Ivory Citadel bug

There's a (super easy) puzzle where you use start by using twin souls over a platform, send each half to stand on a wall lever, when the platform opens up, drops the statue through a portal, then sends it across a room to reach a cliff that is otherwise blocked. The problem I am having is that it's not triggering that long jump for the statue. I tried it at least 30 times, and I am certain that it's a bug with the game. Anyone know a fix or a way around it (like console no clip mode)? I'm trying to play the game legit right now. x.x

can't seem to get past this, not even finding a way in faqs. I am at the base of the tower where you rcharge a portal on the wall and one on ground and launch yourself outside to continue up the tower. However..there is a gate blocking the way..and I can't find out how to take it down.

If good things come to those who wait - arn't they just the leftovers of those who got there first?
There is not good or bad, just perspective and opinion.

im stuck on the portal puzzle where theres two portal walls that you an move up and down, or split your soul to move them both..

dust doesn't help much.. hes more of a directional guide than a puzzle solver.

edit: nvm i got it.

youtube is the best guide for these portal maps. I remember in the first game and this I was lost with the portals so I just retraced the steps of the youtube uploader. It was much easier than reading faqs or posting topics. I also hate this part, earth was boring and now another portal map just garbage.

@Rydis: u have to hold down R2 and get a charged portal on the ground. a regular portal works just fine on the wall. that should throw u up and outside.

@Kirk: go down to where the lightning orb thingy is in the mini tower and set a portal there. then set one up top where the two cranks are, on the side of the mini tower. put the soul split between the top portal and the closest crank. turn the closest crank with one death and switch. take the other down to the bottom and shoot a portal through the currently set portals to get one one the other slab that can be lowered with the further crank. reset ur soul split so that both slabs are up. there should be a portal on the mini tower and one one the furthest slab. shoot a charged portal through the tower one to get it on the closest slab to the mini tower. switch death's, pull the furthest crank. switch death's, set another portal back on the tower and jump through.
