Pinhead Chain Hunt and Puzzle Solving.

So I have a maybe silly question, and maybe I am just remembering wrong, since I haven't gone against him in a while but I thought if you were solving the box the chains would not continuously attack am I wrong? I just had a game against a pinhead, and I was trying to solve the box while the chain hunt was occurring, and it was physically impossible to solve, as I was getting spammed by chains. I had one on me, and every time I cleared one and tried to solve the box, I would get less than a second of solving and the chain would hit me again. We all died because the chain hunt would not stop. Not sure if this was intentional, a bug, or a hack.


Edit to Clarify: I had just picked up the box right after the chain hunt started, I had not been holding onto it. I know if you hold it for too long the chains start

    If the Chain Hunt has started (if the yellow circle around you is full) the box holder will be attacked by 3 chains and then there'll be a small break before the next 3 start. You need to start solving the box during the break after the 3 chains have attempted to latch onto you otherwise you'll get chain'd continuously and interrupted.

    If Pinhead isn't nearby, one of the easiest ways to get this done is to just let the 3 chains latch onto you (rather than break them 1 by 1), break them, and then start solving the box. Also, using the environment to break chains causes an additional one to spawn (2 if he has the add-on), so be aware of this when you're attempting to solve it. It's often easier just to not use the environment.
