Brain Test 5 Level 87
📝 Walkthrough
Overview
This is a dungeon-key puzzle spread across three notebook pages. The page reads "Find the dungeon key." and shows a sleeping green dragon curled up on a stone platform, a knight in silver armor standing to the right, and a white chicken on the lower left. Four torches burn on the dark stone walls. The overall approach is to find the hidden dungeon key without waking the dragon, using the available objects in the room.
- Difficulty: Regular
- Estimated moves: 3
Step-by-Step Solution
- First, look around the room for the key. The dragon is sleeping, so it might be guarding the key. Check under the dragon's body — the key could be tucked beneath it.
- The chicken on the left might be hiding something. Drag the chicken away to see if it was standing on top of the key.
- If the key is under the dragon, you cannot just grab it — the dragon will wake up. Use the chicken to distract the dragon: drag the chicken near the dragon's nose. The dragon will smell the food and wake up slightly, moving its body. Then grab the key.
- Alternatively, use the torches. Move one torch closer to the dragon's tail or the key location to illuminate a hidden spot.
- On the cannon page (another round of this level), aim the cannon at the castle entrance and fire. The blast opens the castle door.
- Be patient while the dragon is distracted. Do not rush to grab the key the moment the dragon lifts its head — wait until its body shifts far enough that the key is fully visible. If you grab too early, the dragon might still be resting on the key.
- Once you have the key, drag it to the dungeon door to unlock it. A green checkmark appears when the key is used successfully.
Strategy & Reasoning
The puzzle is about stealth and distraction. The dragon is sleeping, and you do not want to wake it. The chicken is the distraction — dragons love food, and the chicken can lure the dragon's attention away from the key. The torches are just ambient lighting and do not directly help with the key.
The optimal strategy is to first check obvious hiding spots: under the dragon, behind the chicken, near the torches. If the key is under the dragon, use the chicken to distract it. Alternatives like fighting the dragon with the knight's sword fail because the dragon is too strong. The level rewards stealth over combat.
If the chicken distraction does not work on the first try, drag it closer to the dragon's snout. Dragons have a keen sense of smell, and the chicken must be right under its nose for the distraction to take effect. Once the dragon lifts its head to sniff the chicken, its body shifts and the key becomes visible. Grab it quickly before the dragon settles back down. On the cannon round, make sure the cannon is aimed directly at the castle door before firing.
Tips & Common Mistakes
- Do not wake the dragon directly; it will attack the knight. Use the chicken as a distraction first.
- Do not forget to check under the dragon; the key is often hidden beneath its body.
- Do not use the knight's sword; fighting the dragon is not the solution. Find the key quietly.
