Starting Chimes

When you start a chime, you will be allocated one of the following three chimes (in purple on the map below)

• Soaring Sparrow
• Diving Nightingale
• Gliding Condor

Movement

Each treatment will move the sound partially in the direction shown. Where it says south-east it could mean 1/10th to the south and 1/3rd to the east, that is something you will need to try for yourself. Fortunately, it costs nothing to apply the treatment, and you can treat the chimes indefinately. Note that you cannot physically move diagonally, attempts to do so will cause your chime to get into a rut - double back a couple of chimes to get out of the rut.

• Hot Water - north-west
• Cold Water - easterly (with a hint of south)
• Shearing Force - southerly (with a hint of west)
• Cactus Sap - south-east
• Intense Light - south-east
• Leopard's Paw - northerly
• Heavy Block - south-east
• Silk Cloth - north-west
• Aluminum Powder - north-east
• White Sand - north-west
• Worm Spirits - south-west
• Beeswax - westery (with a hint of north)
• Quicksilver - north-east
• Rabbit Pelt - north-west

Useful Combinations

• To go north, try LP, as this has very little east/west movement
• To go east, try CW, as this often goes east to the next chime (sometimes need it doing twice), however, there is a northly offset so there is a limit to how many times this can be done
• To go west, try BW, as this often goes west to the next chime
• When heading west, if BW goes to far, use CW to go back - note that it is not linear, this doesn't always work.
• When heading east, if CW goes to far, use BW to go back - note that it is not linear, this doesn't always work.
• When going west, if BW doesn't work, try a combination of RP and SP
• If you are trying to go in a direction and appear "in a rut", go the opposite direction for a couple of moves. For example, if you can't go any further west, but it's in green, go east a couple of times before going back west.

• Path to Chimes

Map

A map of chimes, and the walls around them.

• Red are walls that you cannot penetrate.
• Green are routes you can navigate - they are always north-south or east-west, you cannot go diagonally!
• White is not verified
• Purple squares are the three starting chimes
• Where there is an arrow and a letter, eg. vN, then there is a path to that chime from the starting chime known (for example, C> has a known path when starting with Gliding Condor, vC vN has a known path when starting with either Gliding Condor or Soaring Sparrow). Where arrows go in different directions, eg. ^N vS there is a known path from the respective starting chimes, but they go in different directions.
