Step-by-Step Walkthrough

1. The Beginning

Step 1

Noor standing at the base of the Tree of Light with glowing platforms and geometric patterns

You start at the base of the Tree of Light. Tap the glowing platform ahead to move Noor forward. Notice the intricate geometric patterns - they hint at the puzzles to come.

2. First Rotation

2

Step 2

Central rotating mechanism with pathways aligning to reach elevated platform

Rotate the central mechanism by dragging it clockwise. This will align the first pathway, allowing you to reach the elevated platform on the right.

3. Ascending Path

Step 3

Noor climbing newly formed stairs with rotating mechanism at the top

Walk up the newly formed stairs. At the top, you'll find another rotating mechanism. Turn it counter-clockwise to reveal a hidden bridge.

⚠️ Stuck? Remember that some paths only appear when viewed from specific angles. Try rotating the camera to see connections you might have missed.

4. The Bridge Puzzle

4

Step 4

Bridge connecting to a totem that activates floating platforms

Cross the bridge and interact with the totem. This activates a series of floating platforms. You'll need to time your movements carefully.

5. Platform Sequence

5

Step 5

Sequence of floating platforms lighting up in a specific pattern

Jump across the floating platforms in sequence. Each platform lights up when it's safe to step on. Follow the light pattern: left, forward, right, forward.

6. The Split Path

6

Step 6

Fork in the path with left and right routes through the Tree of Light

You'll encounter a fork in the path. Take the left route first - it leads to a mechanism that will unlock the right path later.

7. Perspective Shift

7

Step 7

Optical illusion path that appears as a gap but is walkable from a different angle

Rotate the view 90 degrees to the right. What looked like a gap is actually a walkable path when seen from this angle. Walk across confidently.

8. The Spiral Tower

8

Step 8

Spiral staircase winding around a tower with rotating segments

Climb the spiral staircase around the tower. At each level, rotate the tower segment to align with the next set of stairs. There are three rotations needed.

9. Upper Platform

9

Step 9

Upper platform with glowing light crystal illuminating the tree structure

Reach the upper platform and activate the light crystal. This illuminates the entire tree structure, revealing previously hidden pathways below.

10. Descending Challenge

10

Step 10

Downward spiral path created by rotating the central column

Now you need to descend. Rotate the central column to create a downward spiral path. Each rotation reveals the next segment of stairs.

💡 Tip: The reflection in the water below shows the correct path. Use it as a guide when you're unsure which way to rotate.

11. The Water Level

11

Step 11

Water level puzzle with helm mechanism to raise water and lift floating platforms

You've reached the water level. Drag the helm mechanism to raise the water, which will lift the floating platforms and create new paths.

12. Sailing Section

12

Step 12

Noor sailing a small boat through the tree's roots and archways

Board the small boat and navigate through the tree's roots. Swipe left to steer around the first root, then right to pass through the archway.

13. The Root Maze

13

Step 13

Maze of tree roots with glowing markers indicating safe passages

Navigate through the root maze. The correct path is: forward, left, forward, right, forward. Watch for the glowing markers that indicate safe passages.

14. Docking Point

14

Step 14

Docking platform with ladder leading to the tree's inner chamber

Dock at the platform ahead. Disembark and climb the ladder to reach the tree's inner chamber.

15. Inner Chamber

15

Step 15

Inner chamber with complex three-ring rotating puzzle mechanism

Inside the chamber, you'll find a complex rotating puzzle. The goal is to align all three rings so their patterns match. Start with the outer ring.

16. Ring Alignment - Outer

16

Step 16

Outer ring of the puzzle with golden symbol aligning to the top marker

Rotate the outer ring until the golden symbol aligns with the marker at the top. You'll hear a chime when it's correctly positioned.

17. Ring Alignment - Middle

17

Step 17

Middle ring of the puzzle with teal symbol aligning to the right marker

Now rotate the middle ring. Align the teal symbol with the marker on the right side. The ring will lock into place with a satisfying click.

18. Ring Alignment - Inner

18

Step 18

Inner ring of the puzzle with white symbol aligning to the bottom marker

Finally, rotate the inner ring to align the white symbol with the marker at the bottom. All three rings should now be perfectly aligned.

19. The Revelation

Step 19

Chamber opening with brilliant beam of light shooting upward from the Tree of Light's heart

With all rings aligned, the chamber opens to reveal the heart of the Tree of Light. A brilliant beam of light shoots upward, illuminating the entire structure.
