Heroes 2: final puzzles

Order of the Sinking Star cover

These six late-set rooms bring together Wizard swaps, Thief pulls, the Priestess’s protection and the Warrior’s pushes. M labels mark Goblins, D labels mark Dragons, numbers identify crystals, and exit badges show the destinations. Arrows follow each displayed board; use the movement controls currently bound in your game.

The screenshot viewers below show selected P3 checkpoints; they are not recovered input sequences. Their first cards show source-matched starts. The canonical TeamRoute replays remain separate bounded model evidence.

Wizard and Priestess: cross the crystal-packed room

Section titled “Wizard and Priestess: cross the crystal-packed room”
The Wizard starts among 19 crystals near the center-right; the Priestess begins upper-left. M1 is in the left passage, and a left-facing D1 is near the upper middle. Two vertically stacked exits overlap gate markers at the center.
  • Crystals 1–19
  • Gates G1–G2
  • Exits E1–E2
  • WI Wizard
  • PR Priestess
  • Goblin M1
  • Dragon D1; arrow shows initial fire direction
Open full-size annotated map in a new tab
Hint

The route uses the Wizard to thread through the crystal field rather than clearing every crystal. The first upward move swaps with C11, the crystal directly above the Wizard. Keep the two stacked gate-and-exit tiles in mind for the final approach.

Solution
  1. Start the Wizard ↑ ↑ ← ← ← ←, then weave down and right through the crystal lanes. The first move swaps with C11; use the numbered badges to keep track of the pieces as the route crosses the crowded middle.
  2. At step 39, the Wizard’s upward swap clears M1 and D1 together, opening both gates. Continue along the cleared central route to the upper exit tile.
  3. Bring the Priestess into the upper exit tile and the Wizard into the lower exit tile. The two exit markers sit on the same tiles as the gates; both are occupied at step 47.

If the Wizard’s final approach is blocked, Undo to the last clear crystal lane before trying to cross the stacked gate markers.

Wizard and Priestess: clear the four-Goblin gate

Section titled “Wizard and Priestess: clear the four-Goblin gate”
The Wizard and Priestess start together in the left passage. Four Goblins occupy the upper and lower lanes; a gate separates them from two exits on the right.
  • Gate
  • Exits E1–E2
  • WI Wizard
  • PR Priestess
  • Goblins M1–M4
Open full-size annotated map in a new tab
Hint

Use the Priestess to reach the left-side approach while the Wizard works through the Goblin lanes. Two Goblins clear on the Wizard’s down-swap at step 7; the other two clear on the second down-swap at step 18, opening the gate.

Solution
  1. Move the Wizard ↑. Take the Priestess ← ← ← ↑; then route the Wizard around the lower-left passage and across the middle lane.
  2. The Wizard’s down-swap at step 7 clears M2 and M4. Continue the upper and right-hand loop; the Wizard’s next down-swap at step 18 clears M1 and M3, and the gate opens.
  3. Send the Wizard through the upper passage to the upper exit, then guide the Priestess along the lower lane to the lower exit. The 30-action route ends with both exits occupied.

If either Goblin remains after the step-18 swap, Undo to the preceding approach and realign the Wizard before continuing through the gate.

Images show selected video checkpoints; the first frame is the starting position.

The Wizard and Priestess start beside four Goblins; the right gate and two exits are marked.

At 20:20, the Wizard and Priestess share the left passage at the four-Goblin start.

Check: Four Goblins, a right-side gate and two exits are visible; later similar footage is ambiguous.

Wizard and Priestess: open the three-Goblin route

Section titled “Wizard and Priestess: open the three-Goblin route”
The Wizard starts at the upper-left and the Priestess in the left-middle passage. Three Goblins occupy the upper and lower lanes; the gate and two exits are on the right.
  • Gate
  • Exits E1–E2
  • WI Wizard
  • PR Priestess

Hint

The Priestess first climbs into the upper lane. Let the Wizard work across the opposing Goblin lanes; the final rightward swap at step 27 clears all three Goblins and opens the gate.

Solution
  1. Move the Priestess ↑ ↑, then guide the Wizard through the right-side swaps and back across the center. Keep the Priestess on her upper approach while the Wizard changes lanes.
  2. The Wizard’s rightward swap at step 27 clears M1, M2 and M3 together. The gate opens; the Wizard reaches the upper exit at step 32.
  3. Bring the Priestess through the right corridor to the lower exit at step 38. Both exits are occupied at the end of the route.

If the three Goblins are not cleared at the final swap, Undo before taking the exit corridor and restore the Wizard’s approach from the center lane.

The pink gate separates the arena from the two exits on the right.

Thief, Wizard and Priestess: clear four Goblins

Section titled “Thief, Wizard and Priestess: clear four Goblins”
The Thief starts in the upper-right while the Wizard and Priestess begin left of center. Six Goblins occupy the winding lanes; Crystal 1 is near the center, and three exits line the lower-left.
  • Crystal 1
  • Exits E1–E3
  • TH Thief
  • WI Wizard
  • PR Priestess
  • Goblins M1–M6
Open full-size annotated map in a new tab
Hint

Use the Wizard’s swaps to clear M2 and M3 at step 5, then M1 and M5 at step 22. The Thief’s pulls carry C1 through the right-side lanes while the Priestess and Wizard take the other routes. M4 and M6 remain in the room.

Solution
  1. Use the opening handoffs to bring the Wizard into the first Goblin line. The step-5 swap clears M2 and M3; continue repositioning the three heroes through the center passages.
  2. At step 22, the Wizard’s next swap clears M1 and M5. Keep the Thief on the outer-right route: the pulls at steps 33–35 carry C1 along that passage before the heroes loop back toward the exits.
  3. Finish the lower-left approach with Thief, Wizard and Priestess on the three marked exits at step 79. M4 and M6 survive, and C1 remains on the board.

If the Wizard’s swap misses one of its two targets, Undo to the previous handoff and restore the alignment before continuing the Thief’s longer loop.

The source-matched three-hero canyon start at 22:57, with a brief beam and exits marked.

Thief, Wizard and Priestess: route through three switches

Section titled “Thief, Wizard and Priestess: route through three switches”
The Thief starts upper-left, the Wizard lower-left and the Priestess lower-right. Three Goblins and Crystal 1 are near the center; three switches and gate frames divide the room from three bottom exits.
  • Crystal 1
  • Switches A–C
  • Gates G1–G3
  • Exits E1–E3
  • TH Thief
  • WI Wizard
  • PR Priestess
  • Goblins M1–M3
Open full-size annotated map in a new tab
Hint

Weight all three switches together to open the gates, then use the routes between pads to get the heroes through. Some switches are freed and the gates close during the route; that is expected once the team has passed the gated passage. The last move does not require all three switches to stay weighted.

Solution
  1. Reposition the heroes and C1 to put a weight on each of the three switches. All are occupied and the gates open at step 14.
  2. Follow the handoffs through the passages. The gates close when a switch is freed at step 17, reopen when the team restores the three-pad arrangement at steps 21 and 47, and may close again as the heroes leave the switches behind.
  3. Finish at the three bottom exits: Wizard on E1, Priestess on E2 and Thief on E3. At step 60, the gates are closed and only one switch remains occupied; neither condition prevents the completed exit arrangement.

If the gates close before the team has crossed the gated passage, Undo to the last three-switch setup and take the crossing while it is open.

Images show selected video checkpoints; the first frame is the starting position.

The source-matched three-pad room start with heroes, switches and exits marked.

At 25:16, all three heroes and the Crystal match the source-verified start arrangement.

Warrior, Thief, Wizard and Priestess: clear the eight-Dragon room

Section titled “Warrior, Thief, Wizard and Priestess: clear the eight-Dragon room”
The Warrior and Thief start above two Dragon lanes, while the Wizard and Priestess begin below them. Four crystals sit beside the facing Dragon pairs; two gates separate the lanes from four exits.
  • Crystals 1–4
  • Gates G1–G2
  • Exits E1–E4
  • WA Warrior
  • TH Thief
  • WI Wizard
  • PR Priestess
  • Dragons D1–D8; arrows show initial fire direction
Open full-size annotated map in a new tab
Hint

Work one Dragon pair at a time. The Thief’s opening pull clears the first pair; later, use the Priestess to cover the crossing, let the Wizard swap through a Dragon lane to free the Warrior, and line up the final pair before the Warrior pushes.

Solution
  1. The Thief starts with ↓ ↓ ↑; the pull on step 3 clears the right-side pair. Keep following the route around the outer lanes as the heroes trade places.
  2. The Wizard’s upward swap at step 43 clears another Dragon. The Priestess’s move into the upper lane clears two more at step 47; the Wizard’s upward swap at step 50 frees the Warrior for the final pushes.
  3. After the Wizard frees him at step 50, the Warrior goes → → at steps 51–52, moving the Priestess and D2 right. The Thief goes → ↓ at steps 53–54 to pull D2 down, then ← ← at steps 55–56 to draw C4 left as a screen. The Warrior goes → → ↓ at steps 57–59, pushing D2 into D8’s fire and clearing it. He then goes → → ↑ → ↓ at steps 60–64, lining D7 up with D8; both clear, all eight Dragons are gone, and both gates open.
  4. Guide the Warrior to E2 and the Priestess to E1 along the upper exits; send the Wizard and Thief through the lower passages to E3 and E4. All four exits are occupied by step 92.

If the last Dragon is not lined up before the Warrior’s final push, Undo to the setup before step 59 and re-form the lane before continuing to the exits.
