Guides

One walkthrough for each of the 35 puzzle rooms, in the order the journey reaches them: chapter by chapter, the four small rooms first, then the two major rooms that open the way on, then the chapter's optional room. Each guide gives the room's problem, a nudge, the full solution with why each step works, the other routes the room accepts, what can go wrong, and the achievements to be had there. Each will also carry a narrated video of the room being solved.

After the rooms come guides for the hardest achievements: the journey-long ones that one stray cast, one failure or one spell too many can spoil, and the tightest speed and stealth runs. Each has the exact rule the game checks, what to prepare, and a planned route.

The two lesson rooms at the start of a new journey are covered in Start here.
