Stop after any hint. The complete route and later-state picture remain hidden below.

Hint 1What to notice

The nearby brown rocks can support a temporary crossing. This detour uses a stone that came from the previous board.

Hint 2What to set up

Align the imported stone with the upper brown rock near the lower-right corner. The other stone completes the route down.

Hint 3The decisive move

Once across, the treasure is two tiles right of the stone. Return the route stone before attempting board 7’s timed pad solution.

Open the full routeSolution spoilers and the target state

  1. Prepare the southward detour

    Bring the board-6 stone into the row of the upper brown rock at the lower right of board 7. Push it left onto that rock.

  2. Make the crossing

    Move board 7’s stone down three, right twice, down, left, then down. Push it right to complete the bridge and walk south onto the treasure-side land.

  3. Collect and return

    Move two tiles right of the stone to reveal the buried treasure. Bring the stone back up to its original path position before continuing board 7; it is part of the next pad setup.

The treasure detour reaches the small upper ledge beyond the southern crossing.

Check your result

You have collected the treasure and restored the stone needed for the board-7 route.

If your attempt went wrong

A treasure visit can leave the board-7 stones in the wrong places. Restore the returned stone before retrying the orb puzzle instead of treating the new layout as its starting state.
