Step-by-step walkthrough
Candidate walkthrough; gameplay confirmation is pending. Release after each move and wait for the expected departures. Stop and report the first mismatch.
Rotate Ring 3 clockwise about 180°. Target opening direction: 210° (right 0°, up 90°). Release and wait. Expected departure: Ring 3. Expected remainder: 2 rings, 0 bars.
Rotate Ring 1 counterclockwise about 120°. Target opening direction: 270° (right 0°, up 90°). Release and wait. Expected departure: Ring 1, Ring 2. Expected remainder: 0 rings, 0 bars.

- Ring
- An open ring can rotate. Align its opening with the connecting pin to release that connection. Rings fly away automatically once their connections and constraints are released.
- Blocking pin
- A fixed pin sitting on a ring's edge. It holds another ring in place, so its gap has to face this pin.Read the mechanism guide →
Ring positions and connections
Positions refer to the diagram. Connections describe what to inspect, not an additional removal order.
| Ring | Position | Type |

Frequently asked questions
Which board should I use for level 2?
This page has 4 distinct boards. The default A board has 3 rings and 2 blocking pins. Compare these features and the thumbnails before following its steps.
What do the numbers on the diagram mean?
They identify individual rings, not the operation order. A written step can also describe a bar or latch, so the step number is not always the ring number. Match the ring number named in the instruction with the diagram.
What should I check when I am stuck on level 2?
Check whether the ring is open or closed, whether a stop pin limits rotation and whether a latch is still locked by a bar. Repeated rotation does not remove a fixed obstruction. Compare the neighboring connections, then return to the step for the matching ring number.
