Heroes working together

Order of the Sinking Star cover

These nine opening rooms ask you to coordinate two or three named heroes. Select the hero you want to move with the character-selection control shown in your controls, then use its bound movement keys or stick. Thief retreats pull crystals, Warrior steps push them, and Wizard swaps can move other board pieces. Each screenshot shows a result state after its instructions; the first frame shows the starting board. Every room has one marked exit per hero; finish with each hero on a different exit at the same time. The maps label heroes by role, exits E1–E3, crystals, switches and gates. For one-character rooms, see the solo opening walkthroughs.

Arrows in the solutions show screen directions, not literal keys. A normal movement step advances one tile; the Wizard may swap with a farther visible object. The folded route lists group consecutive directions by the hero who acts, so the handoff points are easy to follow.

Warrior, Thief and Wizard: three switches and two gates

Section titled “Warrior, Thief and Wizard: three switches and two gates”
All three heroes and Crystal 1 are at their starting tiles; the gates are closed.
  • Crystal 1
  • Switches A–C
  • Gates G1–G2
  • Exits E1–E3
  • WA Warrior
  • TH Thief
  • WI Wizard
Open full-size annotated map in a new tab
Hint

The Wizard goes to A first. The Thief’s run to C pulls the Warrior away, so return the Warrior to B. Then the Wizard swaps Crystal 1 onto A, and the Warrior pushes it from A to B before returning to A. Keep the three switches occupied until the Warrior reaches E3; the final exits are Thief E1, Wizard E2 and Warrior E3.

Step-by-step solution

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

All three heroes and Crystal 1 are at their starting tiles; the gates are closed.

Start at the first frame. Follow the Wizard, Thief, and Warrior handoffs.

  • Switches A–F
  • Gates G1–G3

Open full-size annotated map in a new tab
Hint

The ending leaves Crystal 1 on C, Crystal 2 on A, Crystal 3 on F, Crystal 4 on E, Crystal 5 on B, and Crystal 6 on D. During the middle swaps, A or B may briefly empty and the gates may close; continue the route as the switches refill. The Warrior pushes Crystal 5 through the left gate, then the Wizard swaps it onto D. Once A–F are occupied and the gates reopen, send the Wizard to E1, the Warrior to E2 and the Thief to E3.
