Level 9 - Disc Puzzle and Timing Challenge

Level 9

Video Walkthrough

Objective

Open the vault by solving the spaceship image puzzle, completing the timing-based circle puzzle, collecting items from the drawer, solving the disc alignment puzzle, placing handles correctly, and inserting the USB to unlock the vault.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Look on the right side of the safe to see a puzzle with four spaceship images
  2. Each spaceship has an orange sliding panel that you can move left or right
  3. Line up all 4 sliders so that the images match correctly
  4. Collect the Triangle Handle that appears after solving the puzzle
  5. Turn to the opposite side of the safe to see another puzzle with 3 circles
  6. The top circle (number 1) will be spinning - wait for the blue section to line up with the blue line on the right
  7. When the blue section aligns, tap the blue button on the left to fix circle 1
  8. Circle 2 will start spinning - repeat the same timing process with circle 2
  9. Circle 3 will then start spinning - complete the timing process with circle 3
  10. If you miss the timing at any point, the puzzle will reset and you must start again
  11. Once all three circles are connected, collect the Disc that appears
  12. Look on the back of the safe at the bottom to find a handle
  13. Pull the handle to open a drawer
  14. Collect a Box from the drawer
  15. View the Box in your inventory and open the front to collect a Token
  16. Look on top of the safe and add the Token to a slot
  17. The top panel opens - place the Disc into the missing gap
  18. The disc puzzle appears with three discs that have blue lines on them
  19. Turn the discs to line up the blue lines with the blue marks on the border around the disks
  20. Once aligned correctly, collect the Square Handle that appears
  21. Look on the back of the safe again, in the center area
  22. Add the Triangle Handle on the left and the Square Handle on the right
  23. Open the center hatch that appears and collect a USB
  24. Turn back to the front of the safe and view the center
  25. Move the 3 halves of the center circle to align them
  26. Add the USB to the center slot
  27. The safe will open and you will collect the Artifact - Light Sculpture to complete the level

💡 Tips & Tricks

  • For the spaceship puzzle, take your time to match all four images correctly - they must all align
  • The timing puzzle requires precision - wait for the blue section to perfectly align before tapping
  • If you miss the timing, don't worry - the puzzle will reset and you can try again
  • Practice the timing rhythm: align, tap, wait for next circle, repeat
  • For the disc puzzle, rotate each disc slowly to match the blue lines with the border marks
  • Make sure you've collected both handles (Triangle and Square) before trying to open the center hatch
  • The three circle halves on the front need to be perfectly aligned before the USB slot appears
  • Check your inventory if you're missing an item - make sure you opened the Box from the drawer

⚠️ Common Mistakes

  • Not aligning all four spaceship images correctly - all sliders must match
  • Tapping the blue button too early or too late in the timing puzzle - wait for perfect alignment
  • Missing the timing and having to restart the circle puzzle multiple times
  • Not collecting the Box from the drawer before trying to use the Token
  • Forgetting to open the Box in inventory to get the Token
  • Not aligning the discs correctly in the disc puzzle - blue lines must match border marks exactly
  • Placing handles in wrong positions - Triangle on left, Square on right
  • Not aligning the three circle halves before trying to insert the USB
  • Trying to insert USB before collecting it from the center hatch

Additional Notes

Level 9 introduces timing-based puzzles and multi-step item collection mechanics that require careful coordination.

What You'll Learn

  • Timing-Based Challenges: Precise timing required for circle alignment puzzle
  • Item Collection Chain: Collecting items in sequence from different locations
  • Disc Alignment Puzzle: Rotating discs to match lines with border marks
  • Handle Placement: Using different shaped handles to access compartments

Core Mechanics Introduced

  • Sliding Panel Puzzles: Moving panels to align images correctly
  • Timing Mechanics: Precise button presses based on visual alignment
  • Drawer Access: Pulling handles to reveal hidden compartments
  • Inventory Item Transformation: Opening boxes in inventory to get items
  • Multi-Handle System: Using different shaped handles (triangle, square) together
