Initial Exploration and Item Collection
Where Do You Start?
The level begins on the first island, which contains a variety of objects, structures, and symbols. The goal is to explore this area thoroughly, collect essential items, and set the foundation for solving the upcoming puzzles.
What Items Do You Need to Gather?
Start by searching for the following items:
1. Hook and Rusty Knife
- Look around for a rusty knife lying on the ground or near a structure.
- Find a hook, which will later be essential for crafting a rope tool.
2. Handle from the Swing
- There is an old swing on the island; grab the wooden handle attached to it.
- This will be used to repair the grinding wheel and sharpen the rusty knife.
3. Brushwood Pieces
- You’ll need multiple pieces of brushwood for fire-related puzzles later in the game.
- These can be found scattered around the island.
4. Wire and Shackle
- Wire will be used in multiple puzzles, including unlocking the chest.
- A shackle is another essential item that will help reconnect a fallen bridge.
Key Observations to Keep in Mind
While exploring, make sure to note bird symbols carved into rocks and trees(Look for carvings on rocks near the first island’s entrance). These symbols will play a crucial role later in the level when solving puzzles and summoning the Fire Bird.
At this point, you’ve gathered the essential tools to progress further. Next, we’ll sharpen the rusty knife and prepare additional tools for crossing to the next island.
Sharpening the Knife and Preparing Tools
How to Use the Grinding Wheel?
One of the first puzzles you’ll need to solve involves the grinding wheel. Here’s what to do:
- Locate the broken grinding wheel and attach the wooden handle you found earlier.
- Once repaired, use it to sharpen the rusty knife. This knife will be crucial for cutting ropes and other materials later.
Crafting the Rope with Hook
- Cut the ropes from the swing using your newly sharpened knife.
- Combine the rope with the hook to create a tool that will help you reconnect the fallen bridge and move to the second island.
Now that your tools are ready, the next step is making your way across to the next Floating Island and continuing your adventure!
Crossing to the Second Island
Now that you’ve gathered the essential items on the first island, it’s time to make your way across the broken bridge to reach the second island. Of course, you can’t just walk across—the bridge has collapsed, leaving only remnants behind. But with the Rope with Hook, you’ve got exactly what you need to make it across safely.
Reconnecting the Fallen Bridge
Using the Rope with Hook, aim for the sturdy wooden post on the other side. Precision matters here; if you don’t hook it correctly, you’ll need to reposition yourself for a better angle. Once you’ve successfully secured the rope, carefully cross over, making sure not to lose your footing.
Once you’re across, take a moment to assess your surroundings. The second island is home to more valuable items and a key puzzle that will unlock even more resources. But before diving into the puzzle, let’s grab some important supplies.
Collecting Additional Items
Scattered around the island, you’ll find several objects that are crucial for solving upcoming challenges. Don’t overlook any of them:
- Brushwood – You’ll need this for crafting and potentially fueling a fire.
- Bucket – A seemingly ordinary item, but it will come in handy soon.
- Oven Fork – It might not look useful at first, but it’s a key tool for manipulating objects.
- Jar of Oil – Oil can be a game-changer when dealing with rusted mechanisms or creating a controlled explosion.
- Halves of the Mill – These fragmented pieces may not make sense just yet, but keep them safe—they’ll be essential for a later puzzle.
With everything in hand, you’re ready for the next challenge: unlocking the mysterious chest.
Solving the Chest Puzzle: Arrows Challenge
The locked chest before you is no ordinary container. It requires both dexterity and logic to open, beginning with an initial step: using the wire to unlock it.
Unlocking the Chest with the Wire
Find the wire you collected earlier. Straighten it out and carefully insert it into the chest’s locking mechanism. With gentle movements, manipulate the lock’s tumblers until you hear a soft click—success! The chest is now open, revealing the Arrows Puzzle inside.
Completing the Arrows Puzzle
The puzzle consists of multiple sliding panels, each featuring symbols of cubes and flowers. The objective? Align the panels so that the final display shows exactly 10 cubes and 10 flowers.
To do this, you’ll need to:
- Slide the panels strategically to balance both symbols.
- Pay attention to hidden overlaps—some panels may obscure others, so adjust accordingly.
- If a panel seems stuck, try using the Jar of Oil on the mechanism to loosen it up.
Once the alignment is correct, the puzzle will lock into place, and the chest will fully open, rewarding you with two crucial items: a small box and a stick of dynamite. These will be incredibly useful for obstacles ahead, so keep them secure.
Blasting a Path: Utilizing Dynamite to Access New Areas
Reaching the next phase means dealing with an obstacle—an imposing central rock blocking the way. Here’s where the dynamite comes into play. It’s not just about placing and igniting it haphazardly; the placement is crucial. The best spot is directly beneath the rock’s center, ensuring a controlled explosion that clears the path without causing unnecessary damage to surrounding structures.
Once ignited, the explosion does exactly what it’s meant to—shattering the rock and revealing a new passage. But that’s not all. The second half of the mill, an important component for later, is now dislodged and floating in the water. Retrieving it requires a keen eye and a careful approach, ensuring it doesn’t drift away before being secured.
A Fairy Tale Twist: Growing the Beanstalk
Next comes a touch of fairy tale charm—literally. The box puzzle holds the key to obtaining magical beans, and solving it involves careful manipulation of its components. The puzzle mechanism is designed to test spatial awareness, ensuring that only a methodical approach will unlock its secrets.
Once the beans are in hand, the next step is planting them in a fertile patch of soil. But like any plant, they need water to grow. Finding and using the right water source becomes the final step before witnessing something extraordinary. In mere moments, the beans sprout, stretch skyward, and form a towering beanstalk, creating a natural bridge to the third island.
Scaling the beanstalk isn’t just about reaching the next area—it’s a moment of awe, a reminder that nature and magic intertwine in this world. Climbing it carefully ensures a safe passage, bringing the journey one step closer to its ultimate goal.
Uncovering Secrets: Exploring the Third Island and Collecting Ingredients
Stepping onto the third island introduces new challenges and vital discoveries. Exploration is key, as every nook and cranny holds something essential.
One of the first treasures to retrieve is a crystal hidden in a bird’s nest. This isn’t a simple grab-and-go situation—the nest’s location requires precise climbing and possibly a distraction to momentarily draw the bird away.
Next, gathering fresh eggs adds another element to the quest. They’re tucked away in a natural habitat, and careful collection prevents breaking or losing them.
Then, a discovery that ties into the game’s deeper lore: a bread recipe found near an old skeleton. This eerie yet fascinating clue suggests that someone before had attempted a similar journey but met an unfortunate fate. The recipe isn’t just a collectible—it’s a crucial ingredient for a later task.
Finally, progress is momentarily halted by a connect-the-dots puzzle, which, once solved, rewards the player with a key. The challenge lies in correctly tracing the pattern, revealing the hidden connection that unlocks the next step in the adventure.
The Journey Continues
With explosives clearing paths, magical plants forming bridges, and new ingredients collected, the adventure gains momentum. Every step forward unveils more of the world’s mysteries, proving that problem-solving, exploration, and a bit of ingenuity are the keys to success.
Now, the real question is—what does this key unlock? The next phase of the journey promises even greater discoveries.
Baking the Magical Bread
At this point, you’ve probably noticed that everything in this world serves a purpose, no matter how small. That bag of grain you’ve been holding onto? Time to turn it into something useful. But first, you need to grind it into flour, and that’s where the windmill comes in.
Now, if you’ve already collected both halves of the mill, you can finally put them together and get it up and running. Once the windmill is operational, place the grain inside and grind it down into fine flour. Easy, right? But flour alone won’t make this mystical bread. You’ll need to follow the recipe carefully.
The recipe itself is a bit… unconventional. Forget traditional baking ingredients—this one calls for:
- Water – A simple enough ingredient, but make sure you’ve already collected it in the bucket.
- Bean Tree Leaf – Remember the giant beanstalk you grew? Its leaves are surprisingly an essential part of the mix.
- Forget-me-nots – These delicate blue flowers are more than just a garnish. If you haven’t already picked them up along the way, retrace your steps to find them.
- Eggs – Hopefully, you grabbed these while exploring the third island.
- Flour – Freshly ground from your windmill.
With everything in place, it’s time to mix the ingredients and knead the dough. Once it’s ready, place it in the oven and wait for the magic to happen. This isn’t just any loaf—it’s enchanted. And once it’s done, you’ll see why.
Summoning and Riding the Fire Bird
The moment you’ve been waiting for is finally here. The magical bread is more than just food; it’s an offering. According to legend, placing this bread on the central plinth will summon the Fire Bird, a mythical creature said to carry only the worthy.
Approach the plinth and carefully place the freshly baked bread at its center. Almost instantly, a powerful energy fills the air. The sky darkens for a moment before erupting in a brilliant blaze of light as the Fire Bird descends. Its feathers shimmer with flames, and its piercing eyes seem to recognize you.
Now comes the most crucial moment—interacting with the Fire Bird. Unlike other creatures you’ve encountered, this one doesn’t require force or tricks. Instead, it responds to the purity of the offering. If you’ve followed the steps correctly, the Fire Bird will lower itself, allowing you to climb onto its back.
As soon as you mount the creature, it spreads its fiery wings and takes flight, carrying you high above the Floating Islands. The adventure isn’t over just yet, but you’ve come a long way.
Conclusion – A Journey Beyond the Floating Islands
And just like that, your adventure among the Floating Islands comes to an awe-inspiring end. From the moment you set foot on these mysterious lands to the final flight with the Fire Bird, every puzzle, challenge, and discovery has shaped your journey.
Looking back, it wasn’t just about solving puzzles or collecting strange items. It was about piecing together the world’s hidden logic, understanding the magic that flows through it, and proving yourself worthy of escaping. Each step—from rebuilding the windmill to baking the enchanted bread—was more than just a task. It was a test of patience, problem-solving, and creativity.
But perhaps the greatest lesson of all? Sometimes, the most unexpected things hold the key to progress. A tiny seed can grow into a towering beanstalk. A forgotten recipe can summon a legendary creature. And the path forward isn’t always obvious—it’s something you create along the way.
Now, as you soar through the sky on the Fire Bird’s back, one question lingers: What comes next? You’ve conquered the Floating Islands, but this world is vast, and mysteries still remain. If this journey has taught you anything, it’s that adventure is never truly over—it just leads to new beginnings.
