Jewels of the Oracle II -- Gems of Darkness Hints

Complex Sequential Movement

  • 1 of 7: If you have played the original Jewels of the Oracle, you may remember the "Sun and Moon" puzzle.
  • 2 of 7: The objective is to return all of the pieces to their target "basket".
  • 3 of 7: Play with the pieces and levers to become familiar with their movement.
  • 4 of 7: Don't forget to drag pieces between levers; clicking on them does very little.
  • 5 of 7: Keep pieces moving in the same general direction; i.e., decide to use either a clockwise solution, or a counter-clockwise one, then keep all pieces moving that way.
  • 6 of 7: Remove pieces from the board by dragging them into their appropriate "target".
  • 7 of 7: Start moving pieces off the board as soon as possible.  This frees up more space, and makes the remaining moves easier.
