In God of War II, when you're beneath the world with Atlas, you have to turn this crank to raise a floating metal circular platform, while a ton of enemies fall down and annoy you.
The enemies aren't the annoying part. The annoying part is that once it's raised, for some reason, Kratos REPEATEDLY refused to jump PROPERLY to the next platform, thus plummeting me to the fiery depths, and forcing me to ONCE AGAIN kill all those enemies and raise the platform.
I must have had to do it, like, 5 or 6 times. Ugh.
