Stage 1
Reach the room’s marked exit in this combined Mirrors and Stones stage.
- Mirror transfer
- Skipping stones
- Timed lily pads
Match this layout: Two mirrors link the starting island, the island with the skipping stone, and the exit; a lily pad passes between them.
Open one clue at a time. The complete sequence stays inside the solution below.
Hint 1
Arrange the return trip before starting the pad moving.
Hint 2
Leave the second mirror where the stone began; the first mirror must support boarding the moving pad.
Show full solution
- Push the first mirror north and right, then reflect across to the stone island.
This gives access to the back of the stone.
- Reflect the Sailor behind the stone, push it south, and skip it west toward the first mirror. Clear that mirror from the stone’s landing route.
The stone must return to the starting side for the launch.
- Before returning, put the second mirror at the island’s northwest corner, in the stone’s original position.
It will provide the last transfer to the exit.
- Return and move the stone west until it is immediately left of the lily pad. Place the first mirror at the starting island’s southeast corner, then send the stone across.
The launch sends the stone and pad arrangement east.
- Go left, reflect onto the pad as it passes, and use the second mirror when the pad passes it to reflect onto the exit island.
The two timed reflections complete the crossing.
If the sequence stops working
- Launching before placing the second mirror removes the prepared route to the final island.
- If the boarding window is missed, undo the launch and retry the two reflections.

These instructions cover the layout described above. A similar-looking board may need a different sequence.
Stage 2
Reach the room’s marked exit in this combined Mirrors and Stones stage.
- Mirror transfer
- Rock platforms
- Timed lily pads
Match this layout: A mirror, two ordinary rocks, a skipping stone, and a lily pad sit between the starting island and the exit.
Open one clue at a time. The complete sequence stays inside the solution below.
Hint 1
The Sailor needs a place to stand behind the launched stone.
Hint 2
Make one reflected rock at the south edge, then a second one behind it before moving the pad.
Show full solution
- Place the mirror one tile south of the north edge and one tile east of the west edge. Align a rock with it at the south edge and reflect the rock into the water.
The first submerged rock is a landing platform.
- Move the mirror one tile west. Put the second rock south of it in the same line, short of the edge, and reflect it behind the first submerged rock.
The second platform lets the Sailor reach the pushing side.
- Skip the stone onto the first rock and reflect the Sailor onto the second. Launch the stone south again.
The second launch bumps the pad east.
- Reflect back promptly and step onto the departing lily pad to reach the exit.
The pad is the final transport, so boarding must follow the launch.
If the sequence stops working
- The second rock belongs behind the first submerged rock, rather than on the same landing tile.
- Reflect back before the pad has passed the boarding position.

Stage 3
Reach the room’s marked exit in this combined Mirrors and Stones stage.
- Mirror transfer
- Skipping stones
- Timed lily pads
Match this layout: A mirror, two islands, a skipping stone, and one lily pad form this numbered room.
Open one clue at a time. The complete sequence stays inside the solution below.
Hint 1
The stone’s first job is to stop the pad at a usable location.
Hint 2
Prepare a safe northern landing for the Sailor before launching the pad east.
Show full solution
- Reflect the stone onto the starting side, then reflect it into the water in the lily pad’s line. Send it across the pond.
The pad will stop immediately south of the stone.
- Reflect to the second island and return the stone to its southernmost position.
This resets the launch while retaining access to the second island.
- Move the mirror until its reflection lands safely in the north of the second island. Skip the stone onto the lily pad.
The impact sends the pad east while the prepared mirror supplies access.
- Reflect immediately, run north to the pad, push the riding stone off, and board for the exit.
Removing the stone leaves space for the Sailor to ride.
If the sequence stops working
- The reflection must land on safe northern land before the eastward launch.
- Leaving the stone on the pad blocks the boarding step.

Stage 4
Reach the room’s marked exit in this combined Mirrors and Stones stage.
- Mirror transfer
- Skipping stones
- Timed interception
Match this layout: A U-shaped island surrounds a short central dock, with the exit below the west bank and a separate eastern island.
Open one clue at a time. The complete sequence stays inside the solution below.
Hint 1
The central dock is an intermediate position, not the exit.
Hint 2
The eastern mirror must align the top of the central dock with the lower launching position.
Show full solution
- Put the first mirror at the far northwest corner and reflect across. Skip the stone east, then south to the protruding tile on the eastern island.
From this tile the stone’s available final launch is west.
- Before that launch, put the eastern mirror at the northwest tip of its island, level with the upper tile of the central dock. Check that its reflected route also reaches down the western edge of the eastern island.
This is the mirror alignment shown in the source’s Stage 4 image C.
- Launch the stone west. Immediately reflect onto the middle dock, move south on it, and reflect down before the stone arrives.
The interception creates the missing crossing to the exit.
- Use the completed stone route to reach the exit below the western bank.
The temporary positioning has supplied the final bridge.
If the sequence stops working
- Launching west before aligning the eastern mirror leaves too little time to reach the interception tile.
- The mirror belongs beside the upper dock row; a nearby row can land the Sailor off the dock.

Stamp Stage
Reach the room’s marked exit in this combined Mirrors and Stones stage.
- Mirror transfer
- Skipping stones
- Timed lily pads
Match this layout: A pier, a rock, a skipping stone, a moving lily pad, and a mirror near the exit line.
Open one clue at a time. The complete sequence stays inside the solution below.
Hint 1
The pad first carries cargo rather than the Sailor.
Hint 2
Wait until the carried rock’s reflection reaches the end of the pier before changing the mirror.
Show full solution
- Put the skipping stone southwest of the lily pad. Push the rock to the furthest reachable corner of the pier, then align the mirror with the rock and pad.
The next launch makes a moment when the rock can reflect onto the pad.
- Launch the stone north; reflect the rock onto the pad when the two line up.
The moving pad carries the rock to the needed reflected position.
- Wait until the rock’s reflection is at the pier’s end. Move the mirror into the corner aligned with the exit and to the right of the stone.
This changes the transfer from cargo placement to the final crossing.
- Go to the stone, push it east into the water, and reflect onto the exit.
The final push and mirror alignment open the finishing transfer.
If the sequence stops working
- Reflecting the rock before the pad lines up misses the cargo landing.
- Do not change the mirror before the reflected rock reaches the pier’s end.

Read one clue before opening the full route
Each covered entry has a starting-layout description and a separate hint ladder. Open the first clue and test that idea in the game. The full solution stays collapsed until you choose to reveal it, and important actions include their purpose. If your arrangement no longer matches, undo the changed move before applying another step.
The hint finder can search across regions when you remember an object or mechanic but not the room name. Return to the walkthrough directory for another world or combined area.

Every entry links to its reference beneath its hints. Directions were reviewed against those published routes; the author does not claim an in-game test. Screen boundaries, timing, and prior object transfers can affect a route, so read the identification and failure notes before following a sequence.
