Heroes 2: Monsters is the second part of The Hearty Heroes of Hauling (North). The party can’t attack, so every room is about getting monsters out of the way with crystals, swaps and fire, then reaching the exit plate. Numbers below follow the 100% Guides solution video, 30 puzzles in total. Each heading has the key idea, the main moves, and a link that jumps straight to that room.

Rules that matter in this area

  • Monsters move when you move. Plan each step around where they will end up.
  • Pink crystal gates usually stay up while a monster is still in the room. Defeat them all and the gate turns into a walkable outline.
  • Crystals are your weapon. Push one into a monster to defeat it.
  • Fire statues breathe along a straight line. Whatever stands in that line burns, monsters included, so you can use them as traps. A crystal or boulder in the line blocks the flames.
  • Izzy (purple) swaps places with a target in a straight line. That target can be a crystal or a monster.
  • Plates: coloured or flower-shaped plates open the matching block (blue, gold, orange) while something stands on them.
