Your objective: Help Cece and Lucien escape from the monster.
This level requires players to quickly tap on Cece and Lucien to activate their defensive abilities, repelling a monster chasing their minecarts. The objective is to successfully push the monster back 10 times before the timer runs out.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
Here's the complete solution. Follow these 10 steps in order — each one is a concrete action you take on screen.
- Tap Cece (the white-haired character) in the lower minecart when the monster first approaches. She will use her magic staff to emit a purple beam, repelling the monster and consuming the items in her cart, marking the first successful repulsion.
- Tap Cece again as the monster quickly returns to attack the lower cart. She will attempt to use her magic staff, but it will break after repelling the monster for the second time.
- Tap Lucien (the red-haired character) in the upper minecart when the monster approaches the now-empty lower cart. He will throw a pile of barrels from his cart, pushing the monster back for the third repulsion.
- Tap Lucien again as the monster returns to attack. He will throw another set of barrels from his cart, repelling the monster a fourth time.
- Tap Lucien again when the monster approaches. He will draw his sword to repel the monster, but the sword will break in the process, marking the fifth repulsion.
- Tap Lucien again as the monster reappears. He will throw another set of barrels from his cart, pushing the monster back for the sixth repulsion.
- Tap Lucien again when the monster approaches. He will throw yet more barrels, repelling the monster a seventh time.
- Tap Lucien again as the monster returns. He will throw the final set of barrels, pushing the monster back for the eighth repulsion.
- Tap Lucien again when the monster makes its next approach. He will use a fan to reflect the monster's attack, repelling it for the ninth time.
- Tap Lucien one last time as the monster makes its final charge. He will use the fan again to reflect the attack, completing the tenth and final repulsion, ensuring their escape.
Pro Tips
Use these tips to make things easier — they cover the common traps and fastest route through.
- Prioritize speed: The game features a countdown timer, so quick reactions are crucial for tapping the correct character as soon as the monster approaches.
- Observe the monster's target: The monster will always attack the closest minecart, indicating which character you need to tap.
- Understand ability depletion: Each character has a limited set of abilities or items that get used up or broken. Pay attention to the dialogue and visual cues to know when a character's primary defense is exhausted.
