Wrong Puzzle 133?

Daily Puzzle 133 is Kitchen 07, from the A Dish Too Far set. It is separate from Grand Hall Rescue. Puzzle numbers in other Layton games also refer to different puzzles.

Where you find it

Rescue Luke in the Grand Hall during Chapter 7.

Before you open a hint

Follow each rope all the way down. A crossing is not automatically a safe jump, and a shortcut can send Layton past the rope he needs.

Hints, one at a time

These are the game's own hints, word for word from the North American version and in the same order. Open only the next one you need. In the game, Hints 1 to 3 cost one hint coin each and the Super Hint costs two.

Hint 1

There are several routes he can take to save Luke. There's just one key hint to keep in mind: there are points where he must not jump.

Point N is one of these. If he jumps here, he'll just wind up flat on his face.

Hint 2

Here's another place where Layton can't jump: K.

Luke seems to be directly below this point, so you might be tempted to make him jump here, but if you do, Layton will miss him.

Hint 3

Next in our series of places where he can't jump is F.

It's a fair drop, and you might think that the rope below it will take Layton close enough to Luke to grab him.

But it won't.

Super Hint

Here's the final place where he can't jump: I.

It's very easy to think that he'll have a straight run toward Luke if you make him jump here, but it's actually a one-way ticket to utter mortification and despair as his dashing rescue attempt ends in abject failure.

Answer and full solution

The answer and the worked explanation are hidden below. Open them when you are ready.

Show the answer

One successful route uses jumps A, D, G and L. Select those four jump points and leave all the others off, then start the rescue.

  1. At A, take the first branch.
  2. At D, transfer to the route toward the middle of the hall.
  3. At G, take the branch that leads toward L.
  4. At L, transfer onto the rope that reaches Luke.

Keep I off. That tempting late jump bypasses the route you need. Other successful routes exist; the four-jump route here is one complete option.
