Heroes and Light Walkthrough (HxB, 50 Puzzles)

Heroes and Light is the biggest area in the HxB pairing, where the hero party from the Hearty Heroes of Hauling meets the beams and gems of the Vault of the Beamcasters. It has 50 puzzles in two parts, plus overworld puzzles that link them. This page lists every one with its start time in a full solution video, so you can go straight to the puzzle you are stuck on.

Puzzle 1 of Heroes and Light. Solid and outlined blocks come in yellow, blue, purple and green, with floor buttons in matching colours. Work out which colour opens what before you move anything.

Where it is

Heroes and Light hangs off the HxB Gold Room. The Flying Chungus solution video includes the gold room puzzle itself as puzzle 5 of Part 1. For the written gold room steps, use our HxB Gold Room solution first. The second HxB area is Heroes and Artifacts.

What to expect

• Beams and heroes together. The beams and gems from the Vault share each room with the heroes, so keep the Vault's beam colours in mind. Our Vault of the Beamcasters page has the full colour table, and the Heroes page covers what each hero can do.
• Overworld puzzles in between. Part 1 has an overworld puzzle after puzzle 8. Part 2 has two, after puzzle 9 and after puzzle 11. They open the way on, so do not walk past them.
• The long ones. Part 2 puzzles 11 and 12 are the longest solutions in the area, at more than three minutes each. In Part 1, puzzle 28 is the longest.
• There is an Advanced set. Beyond these 50 is a Heroes and Light Advanced set, which is not part of the two Flying Chungus videos. Mikan Hako's blind playthrough of the Advanced set runs about 90 minutes, and a Steam discussion thread asks whether one Advanced puzzle with the wizard can be solved at all, so expect a big jump in difficulty.

The Part 1 overworld puzzle, after puzzle 8. Red beams and red blocks run through a hedge maze. Solving it opens the route to puzzle 9.

How to use the tables: "Starts at" is the point in the solution video embedded lower on the page where that puzzle begins. "Solution length" is how long the finished solution runs in the video, which is a rough guide to how long the puzzle is. Puzzle numbers follow the video's order, which is the order the player solved them in, not a number shown in the game. You can also jump straight to any of these puzzles from the Puzzle Finder.

Part 1: puzzles 1 to 32

Part 2: puzzles 1 to 18

The second video starts its numbering again at 1.

The first Part 2 overworld puzzle, a courtyard crossed by a pink beam with blue and yellow blocks along the walls.
