- The one on the upper right with 2 globes that need to be lit: I can light each one at a time, but nothing happens. It would really be a challenge if they need to be lit at the same time. I just can't get the timing right... lol
They do have to be hit at nearly the same time (you're given one second of grace, so it doesn't have to be perfect), but it's not nearly as hard as it sounds. In fact, there's at least three different solutions to this puzzle. My intended solution involves firing the magnet shot into the whirlwind and drawing some of the mirrors closer. This allows you to create a really long path for the magic to take before it hits the switch, giving you enough time to fire magic into the path at the left, move over to the right, and fire magic at that switch. The other two solutions (discovered by Moosh and TS) both involve setting up an infinite loop on the left side. For example,
here's TS's solution. The other works almost exactly the same way, except by pulling out the top twice with the magnet, rather than flipping it with the boomerang.
- The room in the upper left where you need to align the prisms with the magnet: Just can't get the alignment correctly. I presume that this probably requires additional timing use of the boomerang, but just can't figure it out.
This one is a bit trickier. The difficulty here is that, to get the mirrors in the right place to reflect magic to the bottom of the puzzle, the magnet needs to only pull on the mirrors a little bit. To get magic from the bottom of the puzzle to the switch, the magnet needs to pull on the mirrors a lot. To get around this, you need to pull the mirrors on the far left up a little bit, fire magic, and set up an infinite loop by bouncing magic back and forth along the bottom of the puzzle. Once you've got magic trapped there, you use the magnet to pull the mirrors at the top into position so that magic can hit the switch, and use the boomerang the break the infinite loop and send the magic up. I can create a video to show this if my explanation isn't clear.
i wasn't going to try this quest because I had played the first one and this one looked so similar (at first) but then I got to level two and the magnet ideas. How fun! I believe this is going to turn out to be a great " new" game. Thanks Russ
No problem! I'm glad you're enjoying it so far!
