Brain Puzzle 3 Level 83

Overview

Level 83 is a monster-repulsion puzzle set in an Egyptian tomb. The banner reads "Help the girl drive away the mummy." An explorer girl clings high on a painted pillar, terrified, while a horde of bandaged mummies shambles toward her across the sand. She wails "Help! This is my first time seeing so many mummies, I'm so scared!" Scattered around the chamber are a sunflower in a pot, a giant marker pen lying on the floor, an open backpack, and wall carvings. She cannot fight them hand-to-hand, so she must use the props to repel the pack.

• Difficulty: Regular
• Estimated moves: 3

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Read the threat. A whole mob of mummies is closing in. Clinging to the pillar is only buying her a little time; she has to scare them off with the objects on the floor.

1. Grab the giant marker pen. Pick up the giant marker from the sand. In the next frame the pen is gone from the floor — it has been used. Draw on the wall / ground with it to create a barrier or a frightening image that the mummies recoil from.

1. Use the backpack. The backpack on the floor opens, spilling out items she can throw or deploy to fend the mummies off. In the middle frame the pack is open and supplies are around it.

1. Drive them back wave by wave. Each use of the props sends some mummies retreating. By the later frame the pack has shrunk from five-plus down to just three shambling figures. She pleads "I don't want to be a mummy in my next life, wuwu."

1. Finish them off. Deploy the remaining prop (the marker/tool handle on the floor) to scare off the last three mummies. In the completion frame the whole room is empty of mummies and she slumps against the pillar, relieved. The "Completed" state is reached once every mummy has fled.

Strategy & Reasoning

The puzzle is a "use the environment to repel monsters" task. The girl is helpless up on the pillar, so the solution is not to climb down and fight — it is to arm herself with the giant marker and the backpack supplies and repel the mummies at a distance. The giant marker is the standout object: a pen that size is clearly meant to draw or mark something on the tomb wall that the superstitious mummies fear or that blocks their path.

The reason the mummies disappear in stages is that each item used knocks back part of the mob; the level is won when the floor is clear. The sunflower in the pot is a decoy prop — flowers do not scare mummies. The wall carvings and the pillar are scenery. The key sequence is marker first, then the open backpack's contents, thinning the pack until none remain.

Tips & Common Mistakes

• Mistake: climbing down to fight. She is an explorer, not a fighter; use the props instead.
• Mistake: relying on the sunflower. The flower is a decoy; it does nothing against mummies.
• Mistake: giving up after one prop. The pack retreats in waves; keep using the marker and backpack until the last mummy is gone.
