Step-by-step walkthrough

The complete route is still being worked out. Only the opening moves below passed the current checks; they do not establish a full solution. This candidate assumes a clamp opens when its paired bar leaves; confirm this behavior in the game.

  1. Rotate Ring 5 clockwise about 140°. Target opening direction: 130° (right 0°, up 90°). Release and wait. Expected departure: Ring 4. Expected remainder: 13 rings, 11 bars.

  2. Rotate Ring 5 clockwise about 100°. Target opening direction: 30° (right 0°, up 90°). Release and wait. Expected departure: Ring 5. Expected remainder: 12 rings, 11 bars.

Frequently asked questions

Which board should I use for level 85?

This page has 9 distinct boards. The default A board has 14 rings and 14 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 85?

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.
