Hint 2 — the useful arrangement

Full solution and gameplay

Reveal solution / story details

The wide eastern gap is crossed by reflection. Using a boulder there would leave you without the short crossings needed to move the mirror.

Times in brackets are from Joric’s June 17, 2026 demo recording (see Sources). The clip under the last step is the same room in the released game: Retail puzzle 3 in Game Guides Channel’s October 12, 2026 recording, which follows this route to the exit.

  1. Shift the southern boulder right to line it up with the narrow northern tip of your island. Push it north into the water gap and walk over it onto the central island.
  2. Stand on the west side of the central island where the mirror projects you onto the southern end of the western strip. Jump across.
  3. Push the mirror up toward the northern end of the western strip. Step back down until the reflected figure lands on the northern island, then jump there.
  4. Push the nearer northern boulder south into the gap above the central island. Bring the other northern boulder south across that new crossing.
  5. On the central island, move the remaining boulder left into the water gap to the western strip. You now have a route for transporting the mirror.
  6. Return to the western strip. Bring its mirror down, then push it right over the new stone crossing onto the central island. Manoeuvre it up and right to the central island’s eastern edge.
  7. Walk south from the mirror, using the first stone crossing to increase your distance. Once the reflected figure reaches the eastern exit, activate the jump.
