Just got to this part. Great game so far, but this little puzzle is driving me nuts...

On my first try, all I did was pull the lever up and press the button next to the door. Since the ensuing battle didn't went so well, I had to reload. I tried the same combination as before, but nothing happened. Seems to be random Oo

EDIT: Now it opened - but definitely not how I opened it the first time (2 clicks vs a couple dozen) oO

Felt random in some way to me, too... Lots of button pushing and lever flipping eventually did the trick, but when I tried noting which moves I did in what order and repeating the sequence it did not open the second time (possible I missed a step, but seemed unlikely, I was pretty careful about it).

Recommendation: Lots of lever flipping (leave it upright), lots of button pressing. Door always seemed to open for me on a button press, for whatever that's worth.
