Dragon Age: Origins Hints

How does this puzzle work?

  • 1 of 7: Try clicking on its interactive floor tiles to see what happens.
  • 2 of 7: Notice that the tile you click on slides into the empty space. Also, the only tiles that are interactive are those that can be slid into the empty space.
  • 3 of 7: Clearly, this is a variation on the standard old "mosaic" sliding tile puzzle.
  • 4 of 7: The variation is in the line of fire that you need to direct down to the opposite corner of the puzzle from where it starts.
  • 5 of 7: Examining all the tiles that the fire is moving along, you'll see that when it moves onto a tile, the direction in which it leaves the tile is determined by which way the design on the tile is pointing. (Or if the tile is pointing off the edge of the board, the fire is stopped there.)
  • 6 of 7: You need to slide tiles around so the fire gets itself pointed all the way down to the bottom (SW) corner of the board.
  • 7 of 7: TIP: Have everyone except your puzzle solver hold their position well away from the puzzle while you're sliding tiles around. The fire will burn anyone it touches.
