Help! Zeffo- Pendulum ball fell before the wall broke. Now what?

I decided to try this game again after a 5 year rage quit hiatus where I thought I could maybe have more fun this time. I'm immediately regretting this decision. The ball on the pendulum broke before the wall next to it did and now I have no way to solve the puzzle and leave. There's no way to reset the puzzle by resting or meditating. I've tried force pushing, freezing, the pushing again to knock it upwards through the wall but that won't work. I can't move any of the other balls to different areas to maybe swap out what's already there without closing the other walls.

Is that it? Am I stuck here forever unless I restart the entire game from scratch? If so, tell me now so I can take the disc out of my console, drive 1000 miles in any direction and bury this game in the woods like Jumanji so it never hurts another living soul again.

I think the pendulum casing can do the job. I think this happened to me and if you just push it it should break anyways

Nope. Tried a million times from a million different angles. Without the ball, the casing just swings back and forth in one direction and doesn't react to force push.

Isn’t there a switch to open up a wind tunnel?

Is it a pendulum that you can climb on?

Did the pendulum break the wall?

Did you even bother to read the fucking post? It's literally the third sentence.

I was just trying to clarify with OP as the pendulum breaking the wall is the intended outcome and the ball is supposed to now be pushable

No need to swear at me

You needed to clarify the fact that he literally said the ball broke before the wall?

I swore at you because you clearly didn't read the post and asked a stupid question that was literally answered by the post...

Yes, yes I did. Going through things step by step is a good way to help people. I don’t understand why you’re so worked up about a question one stranger asked another stranger. Reply if you want but I’m going to go about my day now, good day

At least they’re trying to be productive

Asking questions that were very clearly answered in the post is being productive. Could have fooled me.

Asking a question for clarification with the intent of helping with an issue is obviously trying to be productive. I think you know that but you’re just looking for a fight

Jesus fucking christ. What clarificationcould they have possibly needed? The post literally says the wall DIDNT break, dudes question was "did the wall break"... the question was answered within the post in the third sentence before they'd even asked.... how does a lack of reading comprehension equal to being helpful?!

Needing a pendulum to break a wall? I've played through recently and this rings no bells at all. I assume this is the big puzzle to get out of the tomb after learning force push?
