What each player can do here

P1 · Player 1
  • In this guide's split Player 1 plays Amadeus: he conjures boxes (and later planks and steel balls) and levitates objects into place.
P2 · Players 2–4
  • Player 2 swaps between Pontius (sword, and a shield that blocks shots and bounces light) and Zoya (a rope for swinging and tying things together, and a bow with fire and ice arrows).

If your skill levels differ: Classic mode allows one of each hero at a time; Unlimited mode lets both of you play the same hero, and puzzles are tailored to the number of players.Our suggestionPut the more experienced player on Amadeus, whose boxes press switches and build platforms.

  3. Player 1Place boxes on the generator so the current reaches the door mechanism.
  4. Player 1Lay planks across the boxes and posts to carry the power on to the next switch.
