Level 20 - Telescope and Compass Puzzle

Level 20

Video Walkthrough

Objective

Open the vault by collecting the gong mallet, solving the maze puzzle to get the telescope, matching tower heights using the telescope, solving the compass puzzle to get the waxed key, melting the key with dragon fire, and aligning line symbols with the lever.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Look at the front of the safe to find a lever mechanism
  2. Pull the lever to spin the wheels on the front
  3. When the wheels spin, collect the Gong Mallet that appears
  4. Turn to the back of the safe and look at the top
  5. Find a small maze puzzle on the back at the top
  6. Move the slider in the maze puzzle over to the right side
  7. When the slider reaches the right side, the maze opens
  8. Collect the Telescope from the opened maze panel
  9. You will also see a Gong in this area
  10. Use the Gong Mallet on the Gong to ring it
  11. When the gong is rung, the dragon will breathe fire
  12. View the dragon's head to collect an Eye from the dragon
  13. Collect the Eye from the dragon
  14. View the Telescope in your inventory
  15. You will see four towers of different heights displayed in the telescope
  16. Note the heights of each of the four towers
  17. Turn back to the back of the safe
  18. Look below the gong to find a grid with four points at the bottom
  19. Tap each point in the grid to lift towers
  20. Adjust the tower heights to match the heights you saw in the telescope view
  21. Match all four tower heights correctly
  22. When the tower heights are correctly matched, collect the Lever
  23. Collect the Lever from the tower puzzle
  24. Turn to the left side of the safe
  25. Look for a red button in the center of a star shape
  26. Press the red button in the center of the star
  27. This opens a large panel on the left side
  28. View the compass that is revealed in the opened panel
  29. Place the Eye in the center of the compass
  30. Look at the front of the safe to find a clue
  31. You will see letters on the front wheel: SWSE
  32. Turn the compass points according to the clue: SWSE
  33. Set the compass points to Southwest, Southeast, Southwest, East (SWSE)
  34. When the compass is set correctly, you can collect the Waxed Key
  35. Collect the Waxed Key
  36. Turn to the top of the safe
  37. Look for the dragon that is breathing fire at the top
  38. Place the Waxed Key on the dragon that is breathing fire
  39. The heat from the fire melts the wax coating on the key
  40. After the wax is melted, collect the Key
  41. Collect the Key from the melted wax
  42. Look at the top of the safe to find a circle panel
  43. Turn the left section of the top circle panel to open it
  44. This reveals a puzzle board underneath
  45. Look at the puzzle board - there are two columns
  46. On the right side there are four fixed line symbols
  47. On the left side there are four matching symbols that are out of line
  48. Find the slot on the left side of the puzzle board
  49. Use the Lever in the slot on the left side of the puzzle board
  50. Move the lever up and down to align the line symbols on the left with the fixed symbols on the right
  51. Match all four line symbols correctly
  52. When all symbols are aligned, the vault opens
  53. Collect the artifact to complete Level 20

💡 Tips & Tricks

  • The lever on the front must be pulled to spin the wheels before the gong mallet appears
  • For the maze puzzle, move the slider slowly and carefully to the right side
  • The gong must be rung with the mallet before the dragon will breathe fire
  • Make sure to view the telescope in inventory to see the tower heights clearly
  • The tower heights in the grid must match exactly what you see in the telescope
  • Tap each point in the grid to adjust tower heights - you may need to tap multiple times
  • The compass clue (SWSE) comes from the front wheel - make sure to check there
  • SWSE means: Southwest, Southeast, Southwest, East - set the compass points in this order
  • The waxed key must be placed on the dragon while it's breathing fire to melt the wax
  • The lever must be placed in the slot before you can move it to align the symbols
  • Move the lever carefully to align each symbol one at a time
  • All four line symbols must be perfectly aligned for the puzzle to complete

⚠️ Common Mistakes

  • Not pulling the lever on the front to spin the wheels and get the gong mallet
  • Moving the slider too quickly in the maze puzzle and missing the opening
  • Not using the gong mallet on the gong before trying to collect the eye
  • Not viewing the telescope in inventory to see the tower heights
  • Not matching the tower heights exactly to what's shown in the telescope
  • Tapping the grid points incorrectly and not matching the heights
  • Not pressing the red button in the star center to open the compass panel
  • Not placing the eye in the compass center before trying to set the points
  • Not checking the front wheel for the SWSE clue
  • Setting the compass points in wrong order - it must be SWSE exactly
  • Trying to collect the key before the wax is fully melted by the dragon fire
  • Not turning the left section of the top circle panel to reveal the puzzle board
  • Not placing the lever in the slot before trying to move it
  • Not aligning all four line symbols correctly - they must all match
  • Moving the lever too quickly and not aligning symbols precisely

Additional Notes

Level 20 introduces telescope-based observation puzzles, height matching, compass navigation, heat-based item transformation, and precise alignment mechanics that require careful observation and coordination.

What You'll Learn

  • Telescope Observation: Using telescopes to observe and remember visual details
  • Height Matching Puzzles: Matching observed heights to adjustable grid elements
  • Compass Navigation: Setting compass points according to directional clues
  • Heat-Based Transformation: Using fire or heat to transform items
  • Symbol Alignment: Precisely aligning symbols using a lever mechanism
  • Multi-Step Item Collection: Collecting items through sequential puzzle solving

Core Mechanics Introduced

  • Lever Activation: Pulling levers to activate mechanisms and reveal items
  • Maze Slider Puzzles: Moving sliders through mazes to open panels
  • Gong Mechanisms: Using mallets to ring gongs and activate effects
  • Telescope Viewing System: Viewing items in inventory to see important details
  • Height Adjustment Grids: Tapping points to adjust heights to match observations
  • Compass Point Setting: Rotating compass points to match directional sequences
  • Fire-Based Melting: Using heat sources to remove coatings from items
  • Lever-Based Alignment: Using levers to move and align symbols precisely

Difficulty

Medium-Hard - This level requires careful observation, memory of visual details, precise alignment, and understanding multiple interconnected puzzles. The telescope requires good observation, the compass requires understanding directions, and the symbol alignment requires precision. Most players can solve it in 8-12 minutes.

Estimated Completion Time

8-12 minutes for first-time players, 5-7 minutes once you understand all the mechanics and sequences.
