Glimmer and Glooming the Fast and Easy Way
A Guide for Hard Mode
Hello, dear Flight Rising user!
Are you perhaps terrible at memorizing patterns and number strings? Tired of needing to have a guide or another site at hand to solve this game? Can't wrap your head around Glimmer and Gloom guides at all?
Well, I can't say for sure if this will help with the last issue (I hope so!), but I can help you out with the other two. I too am terrible at memorizing multiple patterns and hate interrupting my Glimmer and Glooming to pull up a reference, so let me tell you about a method in which all you have to remember are three lines.
I haven't seen a guide detailing this method here so apologies if this is a duplicate, but either way I hope it's helpful!
This guide is for Hard mode Glimmer and Gloom. It will not work on other modes.
Hard mode pays out 1600 treasure per round. This means it will take 47 rounds to max out your lucky streak. With this guide, once you get practice, you should be able to complete each round in 10 to 40 seconds on average, and I typically take around 15-20 minutes to max out Fairgrounds using this method.
It isn't the quickest method, but it is, in my opinion, the easiest to memorize and execute without much thought.
Step One: Get Your Tiles on the Bottom Right
If you've read other G&G guides, you likely know what I mean already, in which case you may skip straight to step 2.
But in case you don't, here's what I mean!
You have your board, right? Well, your first goal is to go from this...
To this.
Not necessarily this specific configuration of tiles! I just mean you should get all of your unwanted tiles (whether those are light or shadow) on the bottom and bottom-right sides of the board.
To be clearer, all of the tiles you want to eliminate should be on this section of the board, highlighted in red.
Thankfully that is very easy to achieve!
Go through each horizontal line of the board, from top to bottom. For every tile you would like to eliminate (it doesn't matter if you play for light or shadow), click the tile directly down and to the right of it.
Simply keep doing this and eventually all of the tiles you need to eliminate will be on the bottom right. Naturally you cannot click the tiles to the bottom-right of these because well, they don't exist. So that's where Step 2 comes in!
Occasionally, the puzzle will solve itself on Step 1 and no stray tiles will be left on the bottom. Yay!
Confused about Step 1? That's ok! Scroll down to the end of this post and check out the video. Maybe it will make things clearer to watch me doing it!
Step Two: Solving the Puzzle!
That's right! There's only two steps!
All of your tiles are where you want them, except for those pesky strays at the bottom and bottom-right edges. So here's how to get rid of them.
You don't need to pay any mind to the bottom edge. The bottom-right edge is the one that matters!
So first of all, verify what the highest stray tile in that edge is! This may be one of three different tiles. It will never be the corner tile. For each of these three tiles, there is a corresponding line you need to click to solve the puzzle!
Here's an image to make it clearer.
On the image, you can see each of the highest tiles on the three different boards has a corresponding line.
Simply check which tile is the highest in your board. Now click every tile in the corresponding line once.
Now, repeat step one.
Sometimes, the puzzle will be solved right away! Other times, there will be stray tiles left again. This is ok, and as long as the highest remaining tile is a different one from last time, it doesn't mean you did anything wrong! It just means you will need to do Step 2 one more time.
Most of the time, you will solve the puzzle doing these two steps once or twice. More rarely, you may need to do it three times in a row, but it will never take more than that!
That's all!
Still Confused?
Here's a video! It may be helpful if you're not getting it from the guide alone!
I hope this guide helps some of you out :D
