This puzzle is both very easy to find and complete. There are bells, cages, and bats. Jump under a bell to ring it. When rung, the bats will run away from the bell. Sometimes, a bat will run into a cage. Hit the button on that cage to close it and trap the bat. Once you trap the majority of the bats, the puzzle is solved. This also can be frustrating as the bats move very randomly. But it is easy enough and should not take long.
