The very first puzzle piece of the level—visible as soon as you enter—is actually really simple to get, albeit perhaps requires a few tries anyway. The trick is simply to not rewind time until the '''horizontally moving''' platform has moved past the '''vertically moving''', '''green-glowing''' barrier. The simplest way to do this is probably to wait it out on the ground level. Jump over or kill the two monstars and dispose of the mimic attacking you here. If any one of them kill you, rewinding time might break the puzzle, and you'll have to reset the level. When the platform's gone past the green-glowing barrier, climb up the ladder and kill the mimics and monstars in your way, jump down onto the platform and get {{im|Braid Puzzle-3-6-2.png|x16px}}'''Puzzle Piece 3-6-2'''.

[[File:Braid World 3-6 puzzle 2.jpg|thumb|right|Two gates but only one key.]]Further into the level you will find a ladder leading down into a cavern underground. The second puzzle piece is found here. It will be locked behind '''two gates''' this time, but there is only one '''key'''. Jump over the claw and grab the key. Jump on back to the gates and open the first, green-glowing one. Rewind time to the point the key is whole again (the glowing gate will stay open) and use it on the second gate. Now, you've opened two gates with one key and you can grab {{im|Braid Puzzle-3-6-1.png|x16px}}'''Puzzle Piece 3-6-1''' as your reward.

[[File:Braid World 3-6 puzzle 3.jpg|thumb|left|''Three'' gates but only two keys.]]Continue down the ladder found next to the second piece. To your far right you'll catch a glimpse of the third and final piece of this level. The final puzzle piece is a tricky one; it requires you to open '''three gates''' with only '''two keys'''. You will probably spot a key almost as soon as you spot the piece, but resist your temptation to pick it up. Instead, jump over the three claws and hop down the shaft to the left. Here you'll find a green-glowing key, There's no way to climb back up, so rewind time to get back up again. Use the glowing key to open the first gate. Go get the other key you skipped before and open the green-glowing gate with it. It'll break, but don't worry. Rewind time and it'll be restored, and the second gate will remain open. Use the restored key to open the last gate and reap the spoils of {{im|Braid Puzzle-3-6-3.png|x16px}}'''Puzzle Piece 3-6-3'''.

Climb up the ladders again. When up above ground again, move to the right exterminating all the mimics attacking you. After a bit you will find a puzzle canvas in which to connect the puzzle pieces you've collected into a painting. '''Remember that if you want to collect that secret, hidden collectible, you ''may not'' connect any pieces just yet. If you do, the secret will be ''irreversibly'' lost ''forever''.''' So continue onward through the exit door.
