Rings: 12 · Blocking pins: 13 · Stop pins: 1 · Slide bars: 7 · Clamps: 5 · Bombs: 1

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. Bombs are shown at their saved positions; their effects and timers are not included in this candidate. This candidate assumes a clamp opens when its paired bar leaves; confirm this behavior in the game.

  1. Move S4 left along its track about 3.71 ring radii. Continue until the bar leaves the board. Release and wait. Expected departure: S4. Expected remainder: 12 rings, 6 bars.

  2. Rotate Ring 9 clockwise about 72°. Target opening direction: 226° (right 0°, up 90°). Release and wait. No departure is expected yet. Expected remainder: 12 rings, 6 bars.

  3. Rotate Ring 1 clockwise about 130°. Target opening direction: 75° (right 0°, up 90°). Release and wait. No departure is expected yet. Expected remainder: 12 rings, 6 bars.

  4. Move S2 up along its track about 1.43 ring radii. Release and wait. No departure is expected yet. Expected remainder: 12 rings, 6 bars.

  5. Move S6 right along its track about 1.57 ring radii. Release and wait. No departure is expected yet. Expected remainder: 12 rings, 6 bars.

  6. Move S6 right along its track about 2.14 ring radii. Continue until the bar leaves the board. Release and wait. Expected departure: S6. Expected remainder: 12 rings, 5 bars.

Frequently asked questions

Which board should I use for level 52?

This page has 9 distinct boards. The default A board has 17 rings and 20 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 52?

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.
