The Iron Mask

You need to open the prison doors to free the man in the iron mask. Look for hidden draggables blocks to the side of the doors. No tricks required. The second video solution in Buurmas's comment has correct gameplay.

      Need help with starting off on this one pls :) Very nice castle, and the figuring out really lets you drink in the castle's design while you plot your move. It's just, well, I'm stumped. Lol
    • D.S.Masters
      @mothproof Turn it around so that P is facing you - to the left, on the other side of that first ball, there's a slider low down on the ground, and that opens the 'door' between B and P. After that, darned if I know... you might have to herd P through the area where B started out, and have P climb those odd stairs to the zapper area.

      @D.S.Masters Thanks. @Helena did provide me some tips, but didn't tell me about that hidden slider that opens the door, which I found after a while. I guess castles are meant to be mysterious.
    • D.S.Masters
      @mothproof The whole level is just too hidden for me, it's not really intuitive, so I gave up on it. Great looking design, but not much fun for me.

      @Helena
      let me help u making ur long typing
      be more neat and easier to be seen

      Door open with hidden draggables.
      The first you found, the second is hidden in the palace.

      1. Take P to the flowerbed and drop the first ball.

      2. Reduce the distance between the zappers
      by lowering the block in front of them.

      3. Raise B to the top and drop down
      from the second floor of the tower.
      Drop the second ball under the tower.

      4. B must drop the third ball,
      and P must support this ball from the other side.
      To do this, take P from the flowerbed using the draggable.

      5. P enters the palace through the side entrance.
      B enters the palace through the front entrance.
      To do this, push B door near the stairs.

      6. Put B on P using the stairs and the right column inside the palace.
      Raise B to the second floor and move it to the other side of the building.

      7. Drop down P from the right column
      using the ledge of the building.
      Bring P to the area with the throne.

      8. Take the second yellow robot
      to the second floor of the building using the elevator.
      This robot must kick the zapper out.

      9. Run to the win - you are a winner! P.S. Exquise me, I don't know English, so I write with error.

      You said the second door is hidden. Besides that, it is similar to the first door. Looks like both doors need to be found at the beginning.

      So much perfect timing required in the castle! :cry:

      Hello @Buurmas.
      Doors are not hidden, draggables are hidden. Pull draggables and doors will open.[​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

      Thank you! I managed to solve it and also create an annotated video (in case anyone needs more than your thorough hints):
      Sorry that the video contains some mistakes of mine (at least I fast-forwarded through a bunch of them to make it less boring!).

      [See below for improved video.]

      @Helena , you are a Mekorama design master.

      Stunning sculpting / architecture as usual. Really cool theme. Lots of originality in the gameplay. Lots of depth in this level, so that someone who wants relatively high difficulty both in terms of figuring things out and also executing the various moves required (taking the time to perfect them & get the timing right) has something to really sink their teeth into here. And particularly the throne room / palace was forgiving -- if you mess up (which I did many times), just wait for P to get into the right place again. I had fun thinking through how to get the Zs closer together. I was quite lost on a lot of the moves, so thank you for your hints (I would have never figured it out without them!). I confess I used Mekorama Studio to figure out how to open door #2.

      Ultimately I took a star off b/c of a number of the moves being tricky to execute, but I was conflicted b/c it's such a masterful level in so many other ways. Thank you!

      @Buurmas, it was difficult for you to execute a few moves, because you did it wrong.
      If you do it right, everything is very simple:

      @Helena, thank you -- that is much easier! :thumbsup: I still have a little trouble
      with the timing of getting P to the throne
      sometimes, but having everything else be easier means I have only one part now that's a little tricky to execute. Hopefully I can get an improved video walkthrough recorded and posted.

      Here is my improved video:
      Most things went pretty smoothly, except the thing I mentioned in my previous post.

      @Buurmas, you're right. It takes a quick reaction to bring P to the throne.
      Your second video solution is perfect.
      I thank you for the hard work and patience with which you overcame all the obstacles to achieving victory in this level.
