Three crystals and three lower pads (Heroes 8)

The barrier stays open while all three pads are occupied. Plan for a crystal to hold each pad after the hero leaves.

The crystal that first occupies the left pad can later move onto the middle pad. That frees the left pad for the remaining crystal.

The recording includes eastern and western trials, rewind-style reversals, and temporary middle-pad occupation by the hero. The steps below omit those loops and retain the successful placements. They use 21 tile pulls. C’s recorded up-and-back detour and A’s two down-and-back detours are omitted; the relevant crystal positions are the same when the next retained action begins.

The steps describe a supported route, with ordinary walks between crystal transfers. Pull counts are editorial displacement counts, not a recorded input log or a minimum-move claim. Kingy has not completed this room in the native game or community recreation. The recording shows the exit and transition; exact pull/rewind bindings and current native-build compatibility remain unconfirmed.

1. From the start, pull B up once from (2,3) to (2,2). The hero ends at (2,1). Walk along the top row to A’s east and pull A right once to (4,2). Get below it and pull down once to (4,3).
2. Get below C at (3,4) and pull it down twice, to (3,5). Circle through the bottom-left corner and pull C left once onto pad S at (2,5).
3. Get east of B at (3,2) and pull it right once to (3,2). You now stand above A at (4,2): pull A up once to (4,2). This order leaves room to reposition both crystals.
4. Walk left along the top row, down through column 2 and right to stand below B at (3,3). Pull B down three tiles to (3,5). The hero finishes at (3,6).
5. Walk around the bottom-left corner and back to the upper area. Stand below A at (4,3), then pull it down once to (4,3). From the hero’s new position at (4,4), walk right, down and left to (4,5). Pull B right three tiles onto pad R at (6,5).
6. Leave A at (4,3). Reach its west side and pull left once to (3,3). The recording briefly tests a lower position for A before returning it here; that down-and-back test is omitted from these steps.
7. Walk around the left thorn block through the far-west edge and bottom-left corner. Stand east of C at (3,5), then pull it right twice onto middle pad M at (4,5). The left pad is now free.
8. Get below A at (3,4) and pull it down twice to (3,5). Walk left and up around its southwest corner to (2,5), then pull A left once onto pad S at (2,5). A holds the left pad, C the middle and B the right; the gate clears.
9. Leave all three crystals on their pads. Walk back north along the western edge, across row 3 and north through X at (7,2) onto the purple portal T at (7,1). The hero occupies the portal around 8:33; the following fade returns to the overworld.
