Puzzles

To complete a Zone you need to solve a puzzle which awaits you at the end of the level. Each puzzle is random. Generally, it's an arrangement of a number of puzzle pieces that you've been collecting in the Zone and which follows a simple pattern which you need to figure out to solve the puzzle.

The first line of the puzzle note describes the puzzle pieces. Depending on the Zone's size there can be a different number of pieces for the puzzle ranging from four to seven. The pieces can be figures of children, hands, monks, dancers, ankhs, etc.

The second line describes the order of the figures' arrangement. It can be:

  • From weak to strong (by size, small to big)
  • From great to small (by size, big to small)
  • Their lights fading (by brightness, dark to light)
  • Their souls darkening (by brightness, light to dark)
  • Seeking enlightment (by brightness, dark to light)
  • From violets to flames (by colour, violet to red)
  • Chased from the fire (by colour, red to violet)

The third line describes the direction of the figures' arrangement. It can be:

  • Headed to the East (left to right)
  • Followed the setting sun (right to left)
  • Rose from the abyss (bottom to top)
  • Were cast from Heaven (from top to bottom)
  • Followed the written word (left to right, top to bottom)
  • Read words through reflection (right to left, top to bottom)
  • Rose to meet the morning sun (left to right, bottom to top)
  • Began at the story's end (right to left, bottom to top)
  • Chased after time (clockwise)
  • Sought to reverse time (counterclockwise)

You can pull the Hint Lever for a hint if stumped, however its use diminishes the MR reward for the puzzle. Once all pieces have been placed correctly, the Zone exit will unlock.
