The Wizard takes center stage in a substantial section of Order of the Sinking Star, marking a shift from the earlier focus on the Warrior and Trader characters. This portion of the puzzle game introduces a dedicated series of challenges built around the Wizard's unique teleportation and mirror-swapping mechanics, offering players a chance to master these abilities across multiple stages.
Stage One: Mirror Placement Fundamentals
The opening puzzle establishes the core mechanics. Begin by moving into the corner of the map and swapping places with the stone. Rather than teleporting, use the reflect ability to position yourself between the stone and the left mirror, which will bounce you onto the top tile of the upper left platform. From this vantage point, activate your teleport on the mirror to exchange positions with the stone, then reposition to a spot that reflects you downward—being careful not to swap with the rock again. Move above the button, swap places with the stone, and use the mirror to escape. Finally, stand on the button, swap with the stone once more, and proceed to the exit.
Stage Two: Mirror Movement Strategy
Multiple solutions exist for this stage, though one path proves faster than others. Start by using your swap ability on the static mirror to exchange with the stone. Position yourself directly behind the static mirror and push it back one space. Move behind the reflecting mirror and shift it back one space and to the left so it sits in front of the static mirror. Travel to the right side of the map at the platform's end and swap places with the stone. Use the mirror's reflection to reach the exit.
Stage Three: Precise Positioning
This puzzle demands careful placement. The solution involves standing at specific numbered positions to swap with the mirror, progressively moving it toward the button. Following the exact sequence shown in the puzzle layout will bring the mirror into position, allowing you to activate the button and advance.
Stage Four: Triple Mirror Alignment
Despite its apparent complexity, this stage simplifies once you understand the approach. Arrange all three static mirrors according to the puzzle diagram. Position yourself in line with the second mirror against the wall and use your swap ability. Next, align yourself with both the first mirror and the blue button, then swap with the second mirror. From this position, swap with the third mirror to your right. Move onto the blue button and swap left to place the third mirror on the button, completing the stage.
Final Challenge: Stamp Stage
The concluding mission requires following a specific path through the puzzle space. When you reach the bottom right corner, swap with the mirror located there. This action prevents the remaining mirrors from completing their rotation, allowing you to finish this final section of the Wizard's challenges.
