Hint 1 — a direction to explore

Reveal solution / story details

The boulder and crystal can fill different gaps. Consider which gap would let you move the mirror between islands.

Hint 2 — the useful arrangement

Reveal solution / story details

Use the brown boulder between the start and central islands. Bring the crystal to the left island and sink it toward the centre so the mirror can be pushed across.

Observed solution and gameplay

Reveal solution / story details

The closing frame includes the materialization effect on the exit; the next room appears at 6:22. The route follows observed landmarks, with ordinary push counts left to the footage.

  1. Push the brown boulder north into the water gap between the starting and central islands. It becomes a crossing at 5:53.
  2. Use the mirror to reach the long left island. Push the mirror north until it lines up with the top island. Stand well south of it, check that your reflected image is beside the crystal, and transfer to the top island (5:58).
  3. Move the purple crystal until its reflection lands on the left island. Transfer the crystal and yourself back there; both are on the left island at 6:08.
  4. Push the crystal right into the water gap between the left and central islands. Bring the mirror down to that row and push it right across the submerged crystal onto the central island.
  5. Push the mirror to the central island’s right edge (6:19). Walk south over the brown boulder until your image reaches the far-right exit. Activate reflection to materialize on the exit at 6:21.
