Ug. I can't figure out which path is easier that leads to the bombs.

(This is the force arrow/tolken/fuse maze room.)

I'll give you the first four directions for the fuse.

Arg! I still can't get this! I assum the fuse has to continue left, then up, up, and right, but I can't get the arrows in my directional favor.

Man. I'm glad I gave the demo of this a roll. Just how much arrow turning is there?

IIRC that's the only such puzzle in TCB.

Before you step on the fuse, you should be able to map out the path it should take. It might help to print out a screen shot and draw your plan on it.

Suppose you have a fuse burning in a northward direction. It will burn across all force arrows pointing N, NE, E, NW, and W. It will stop burning if it encounters a force arrow pointing against it in the S, SE, or SW directions.

Ah, but you have those arrow turners. The blue one rotates the arrows 1/8 turn clockwise so that a SW pointing arrow will point W and the fuse can burn across it. The red one rotates the arrows 1/8 turn counterclockwise so that a SE pointing arrow will point E and the fuse can burn across it. (Notice that the red turner becomes blue after you've used it and the blue turner becomes red, so you can't keep turning in the same direction.)

Because of those turners, the only arrow that absolutely stops a N burning fuse is a S pointing arrow. A W burning fuse is stopped by an E pointing arrow, and an E burning fuse is stopped by a W pointing arrow. Et cetera.

Now you should be ready to draw your map onto the screenshot. Look at the first place where the fuse splits. It has a choice of:
E

N

W

Look at the arrows on your screenshot, and keep planning the fuse's burning path using this kind of reasoning. Once you've got your map, all you'll need to do is light the fuse and step on the correct turners at the correct times.

I don't get this either, can someone just say which arrows tokens to step on and when? I just can't get it right

I think you'll get more response if you save the image as .jpg. Downloading 2.3 Mb over dial-up may put people off ;)

Next time you take a screenshot, use F11 in the game. That will save a screenshot in JPG form, which is much quicker to download.

Looking at your picture, you should be able to figure out for yourself what to do next. One of those fuses had a chance of burning if you had just stepped on one rotation token the turn before this.

Hmmm. Anti-a, are you playing the demo of TCB? The hold changed a bit with the recent patch and so that may be the problem, if Noah fully upgraded. I still have an older version, and Noah's didn't work with mine, so see if my demo works for you.

Metaphysical questions like that are best asked on the General board, this is for gameplay hints. ;)
