Level 9 Pit puzzle and locked door

Hey there folks i just figured this really weirdly working puzzle out and wanted to share it with you!
SpoilerShow
At Level 9 when you solve the outer sanctum puzzle to get to the 2 Pits in this level (the ONLY pits here) you can fall down and you find a scroll with a puzzle... So for those of you who have many problems here like me i give a hint:
If you (like me) only have 1 rock you cant solve it yet but you can find ONE rock after the pillar puzzle in the winded hallways behind it so as soon as you have 2 rocks and at least 2 torches (3 would be better) take them and head back to the pits and fall down. now the tricky part begins since i thought you have to stand on ONE spot... but ye.. it says "Stand where the shadow of the torches cross" which doesnt mean you have to stand at just one special point... it is actually TWO locations in this room you have to stand on.

THIS HINT IS MADE FOR 3 TORCHES PUT TO THEIR PLACES ON THE WALLS (however it DOES work with 2...)

First location and EASTERN THROW:

1: turn east to the very eastern torch and walk to it
2: remain with your face to the wall and walk with your A key north(2 steps)
3: still facing the wall we walk 2 steps backwards with the S key
4: Throw the first Rock

Second Location and NORTHERN THROW:
1: Face the very north torch (stand directly in front of it)
2: Go TWO steps back with the S key
3: turn left with the Q key
4: go back TWO steps
5: toss the rock

If you did everything correct all the effort will be worth it because you will find THE CUIRASS OF VALOR it is superior for your tanks just amazing how good it is for tanks
Okay that was my guide for this puzzle now i have a question... where do i open the last metal door ? (not the usual iron doors with treasure behind it i mean a door like the one blocking the outer sanctums entrance) i mean after the pillar hallway if you follow the hallways behind the pillar room you find a room with 2 new enemies in and a locked door if you follow another way no one seems to know how to open that door.. maybe you guys can help me

anything throwable works ;). myself, i did that puzzle standing at the shadows crossing, used the throwing axe for the long one, and stone for the short one. worked fine :)

You don't need to use a rock. Any throwing weapon works fine too. Also, if you actually are where the shadows intersect, then you can just turn north throw, then turn east throw.

I have the "perk" where whenever I throw an item it automatically throws 2. So it would not work for me. I had to make sure I only had one rock in my hand when I went to throw it.
Also, going to make it painfully clear... Here is where you should stand and direction you throw.

I just followed the instructions here to the letter, standing in exactly the spots shown in the picture, and threw the rocks in the directions indicated. I tried it East then North, and the other way around. The gate still is not open. What's the deal?

I didn't move to throw the rocks. I stand on the position one square above (to the north) the one that alfa posted. I Throw a Rock to the East and then turned around and throw one to the north.
