Hint 1 — a direction to explore

Reveal solution / story details

The mirror can help you change sides of a boulder when the causeway is too narrow to walk around it.

Hint 2 — the useful arrangement

Reveal solution / story details

Bring the western boulder east first. After you get around it by reflection, you can push it back west and clear the mirror’s route.

Full solution and gameplay

Reveal solution / story details

At 3:00 the jump lands just north of the boulder on the eastern island. The small northern stone is not the landing used in that detour.

  1. Move the eastern boulder toward the northern notch and push it into the water. Move the mirror down and left toward the eastern entrance to the causeway.
  2. Walk to the western boulder. Bring it right, then down around the bend, and push it east along the narrow causeway until it is just beyond the mirror.
  3. From the space between mirror and boulder, use the reflected position above the boulder to get around it. Walk around its east side.
  4. Push the boulder back west along the causeway. At the western bend, get above it and push it down into the water below the path.
  5. Bring the mirror down onto the causeway, push it west, then up around the western bend and left to the far northwest corner.
  6. Walk right along the top row until your reflection reaches the exit island’s northern tip. Jump across, then walk left and down to the yellow exit.

    On screen: Demo room 8: the hooked island with a boulder at each end and the trader and mirror on the east. The boulders are worked along the narrow causeway, the mirror ends in the far northwest corner, and the trader's reflection drops onto the detached southwest island before the trader heads for its yellow exit.
