Overview
Stuck on this challenge? This walkthrough breaks down every step so you can move on quickly.
Your objective: Help Noah rescue Cece from the trap.
Cece is hung high in the left tree. To reach her, male lead Noah needs to use all items and animals found in the scene to stack an extremely absurd "stepping tower" under his feet. Players need to complete 9 core synthesis and stacking steps (0/9) through a series of chain puzzle operations within 120 seconds. Ultimately, Noah will use Cece's own shoe as the last stepping stone in an extremely absurd way to successfully complete the heroic rescue.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Here's the complete solution. Follow these 9 steps in order — each one is a concrete action you take on screen.
- First layer foundation (red flag): Click the red lion family crest flag hanging at the lower left of the tree, pull it down and lay it flat on the ground under Noah's feet (progress 1/9).
- Second layer foundation (large branch): Pick up a thick long branch on the grass and drag it to stack above the red flag (progress 2/9).
- Third layer foundation (male lead's sword): Click the golden sword hanging at Noah's waist to draw it out and lay it horizontally on the branch (progress 3/9).
- Musket shooting (red fox in position): Pick up the old musket on the lower right grass. Don't stack it directly - first drag the musket to the purple roof of the right hut to shoot down the sleeping red fox! After the fox falls, drag it to lie horizontally above the sword as the fourth layer (progress 4/9).
- Break pentagram (seize broom): Click the pentagram lock on the forest hut door to unlock it. After the door opens, an old lady in a brown dress will angrily walk out holding a magic broom. Quickly click and drag away the broom in her hand, laying it horizontally on the fox's back as the fifth layer (progress 5/9).
- Musket recovery (long gun in position): Pick up the old musket that just completed its shooting mission and is left on the ground, lay it flat on the broom as the sixth layer stepping stone (progress 6/9).
- Magic potion trick bird (big bird in position): Notice the potion emitting blue-green light in the attic round window of the purple roof hut. Drag this potion to the small bird on the upper left branch. After the bird is attracted by the potion, it will obediently fly down. Drag it to lay flat above the long gun as the seventh layer (progress 7/9).
- Height elevation (closer step): After the bird is firmly in position, Noah's height will be further elevated. Click Noah or interact with Cece's body for the next judgment (progress 8/9).
- Reverse final move (take off Cece's shoe): At this point, Noah's hands can already reach the suspended Cece. Use your finger to click and drag the black boots/shoes on Cece's feet, forcibly take off her own shoes and directly stuff them under Noah's feet as the last elevation stone! Height is completely sufficient, Noah catches Cece from the rope in one move, achieving 9/9 perfect completion!
Pro Tips
Use these tips to make things easier — they cover the common traps and fastest route through.
- See potion and long gun hidden uses clearly: The long gun is the only "multi-functional prop" - must first shoot the fox, then serve as shoe pad. The potion in the attic is specifically for dealing with the upper left bird, cannot be fed to other NPCs.
- Ultimate reverse thinking: The biggest brain teaser is the last step. When everyone thinks they need to take off the old lady's shoes, the game judges that you need to take off the rescued person Cece's own shoes to use as stepping stones.
