Hey Dave77
I believe you are talking about one of the levels in the forest where if you walk through one of the gates and get it wrong you end up fighting lizards or something and have to do it again. Well if that's it it's like that challenge in DMC3 you have to choose the 4 doors in the right order, the combination is something like forward left right forward but there should be some clues on the statue in the center and i think you can check if the direction is correct by seeing if the pillar's shadow faces the center of the circle but I can't be sure. Try those tips for now and I'll get back to u with the answer.
good luck with the rest of the game
