Reach the side teleporter across three pads

Move the right-hand pads into a crossable arrangement without losing the outer bridge pad.

Three small islands sit inside nested square currents. The middle island holds two round stones; a yellow teleporter is on the island to the right.

Is this your board?

Three small islands sit inside nested square currents. The middle island holds two round stones; a yellow teleporter is on the island to the right.

Hint 1What to notice

First get to the middle island. The two stones there control the right-hand crossing.

Hint 2What to set up

Wait for all three right-hand pads to line up vertically in the leftmost current before the first throw.

Hint 3The decisive move

Throw the right stone up to move the lower two pads into the middle current. Then use the other stone’s rightward throw as the middle pad passes.

Open the full routeSolution spoilers and the target state

  1. Cross to the central island

    Board the left pad, step to the second when they align, then to the third and onto the central platform. Let the currents bring the pads to you.

  2. Prepare the vertical alignment

    Stand below the right stone. Wait until the three right-side pads form a vertical line in the leftmost current. Push up: the lower two shift into the middle current while the top pad stays on the outside.

  3. Move the middle pad inward

    Stand left of the remaining stone and push right. Push right again as the middle pad passes in front of it, directing that pad into the inner current.

  4. Cross to the teleporter

    Use the three pads to cross the nested loops and step onto the right island’s yellow teleporter. This is a side route; the Level 2 entrance is a separate objective.

From the central platform, watch the right-hand pads before making the first throw.

Check your result

After the first throw, one pad remains on the outer loop and two are in the middle loop. After the second steering move, the inner loop has a pad too.

If your attempt went wrong

Undo the throw whose alignment was wrong. Use the slow-time binding shown by your current game; old controller labels may differ after updates.
