Brain Out 2 Level 138
📝 Walkthrough
Overview
Level 138 says "Help him find the engagement ring!" A nervous young man is on bended knee with a bouquet, but the ring box is empty — he is sweating. A crow sits in a nest in the tree, proudly wearing a pearl necklace (it has been stealing shiny jewelry). A pink balloon floats by the girl, and a magnifying glass lies on the ground. The victory line, "Impressive marriage proposal!", appears once the ring is recovered.
- Difficulty: Hard
- Estimated moves: 2
Step-by-Step Solution
- Notice the crow. The crow in the tree nest is wearing a pearl necklace — crows steal shiny objects. The missing engagement ring is likely in its nest.
- Get the magnifying glass. The magnifying glass on the ground can focus sunlight.
- Focus sunlight to pop the balloon. Aim the magnifying glass at the pink balloon; the concentrated sunlight heats and pops it with a loud "BOOM!".
- The noise scares the crow. The crow flees the nest, which falls to the ground, dropping the stolen jewelry including the engagement ring.
- Recover the ring and propose. The ring goes into the box. The girl is delighted. The screen says "Impressive marriage proposal!" and the level is cleared.
Strategy & Reasoning
This is a two-step cause-and-effect puzzle. First, identify that the crow — wearing stolen pearls — has taken the ring. You cannot reach the nest.
Second, figure out how to chase the crow away without climbing the tree. The magnifying glass and the sunny sky hint at focusing sunlight. Focusing the sun on the balloon pops it with a bang; the loud noise startles the crow, which abandons the nest and drops its loot.
The confetti and the "BOOM!" mark the balloon popping. The pearl necklace, coin, and watch that fall out are the crow's stolen stash; the ring is what you needed.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Mistake: climbing the tree. You cannot reach the crow.
- Mistake: tapping the crow. It just sits there.
- Mistake: ignoring the magnifying glass. Use the magnifying glass to focus sunlight on the balloon, popping it. The bang scares the crow into dropping the ring.
Walkthrough Notes
The crow in the nest wears stolen pearls, so the ring is likely in its nest. Use the magnifying glass to focus sunlight on the balloon and pop it; the bang scares the crow into dropping the nest. The victory line "Impressive marriage proposal!" confirms it. Compare this with climbing the tree: you cannot reach it. The magnifying glass is the hidden tool.
Why It Works
The crow wearing stolen pearls signals that it has taken shiny objects, including the ring. You cannot reach the nest by climbing. The magnifying glass focuses sunlight to pop the balloon; the bang scares the crow into dropping the nest and its loot. The confetti and BOOM mark the pop. The old couple watching are bystanders. The chain of logic is: crow stole the ring, scare the crow, recover the ring.
