Sliding Tile Puzzles
Open the safe with 273 and use its key on the cabinet. Each drawer simulates a card attack: slide tiles to create a net five damage, then press the bell. Start with the two upper drawers; opening them reveals the lower pair. The solutions below explain which cards to keep in the attack row.
How to read the board
The third row from the top is your attack row. Click a tile’s upper or lower half to slide it; click the bell to score the current layout. Match a net five damage, accounting for blockers and sigils. Tiles that do not move are fixed parts of that drawer.
Drawer 1: Skink
Move the available attacking tiles into your attack row. This first drawer has no opposing effects to offset their total five damage. Ring the bell and collect Skink.
Drawer 2: Worker Ant and Ant Queen
Keep the strong attacker in column three and the lizard in column four in your attack row. Slide the two movable pieces in column one downward, putting the airborne blocker on your side; move the ordinary column-two piece downward as well.
Loose Tail leaves a tail behind and moves the struck lizard right when space exists. Airborne attacks bypass ordinary blockers, but not Mighty Leap. These effects explain why simply lining up the largest numbers fails.
Drawer 3: Caged Wolf
Build your attack row around the ants: each ant’s power is the number of ants on its side of the board. Keep the ants together and account for the airborne blocker in the third column. Use the bell to check the resulting net damage. The completed grid is pictured in the GamesRadar guide linked in Sources.
The reward is Caged Wolf. Its later combat transformation opens the next cabin interaction; merely taking the card does not finish that sequence.
Drawer 4: Squirrel totem head
Keep the Bifurcated Strike tiles in the two middle columns in your attack row, along with the normal attacker on the right. Move the quill-marked piece on the left toward the second row from the top.
Bifurcated Strike hits adjacent lanes; Sharp Quills hurts creatures that strike it. Resolve the attack from left to right when checking the layout. The reward is the wooden Squirrel head.
