Basics

The sliding tile puzzle sometimes appears as an Ushabti puzzle in the Lower Tomb. The objective is to slide the pieces around until they are in the correct order.

- The sliding tile puzzle in Forewarned always has the missing tile in the bottom left corner.

- Tiles may be referred to with names such as "top middle tile" or "tile 2"; this refers to the position the tile is in when the puzzle is solved. Tiles are numbered from 1 to 8 from left to right, top to bottom, so that a solved puzzle looks like this:

123

456

_78

- Tiles marked with an 'x' can be any tile.

Universal Solving Algorithm

This is the algorithm to solve any 3x3 sliding tile puzzle!

When multiple tiles are involved in a single step, try to only move one at a time, or they might become reversed and you will need to un-reverse them.

The puzzles in Forewarned are actually set up to be solved in a minimal number of moves, so it's likely you won't even need all the steps below.

1 - Solve the top row

The easiest way to do this can be: Move one of the corners (tile 1 or 3) in the correct place, then move the other corner directly next to it, and the top middle tile (tile 2) into the center of puzzle.

If we did the top left corner first, your puzzle should look like this:

13x

x2x

xxx

You can then rotate these two tiles clockwise until they are in place and the top row is solved.

Your puzzle should now look like this:

123

xxx

xxx

2 - Solve the right column (tiles 6 and 8)

Since the missing tile is always the bottom left, we will start with the bottom right (tile 8). Move this tile into the middle right position, and the middle right tile (tile 6) into the center position.

Your puzzle should now look like this:

123

x68

xxx

You can then rotate these two tiles clockwise until they are in place and the right column is solved.

Your puzzle should now look like this:

123

xx6

xx8

3 - Finish the puzzle

Rotate the last three tiles until the puzzle is solved.
