The fights

Mysterious Box

Mysterious Box

Level 177

In , with 4 at most. The box is in the center, invulnerable and fixed, on a square brown glyph of size 5: stepping onto it kills you. Around it, 4 invulnerable Huppermèches, one per element. Hitting a Huppermèche makes you Silent (only one hit per turn) and reflects 100% of the damage, shared between your characters. They can't be pushed or carried: when hit in its own element, a Huppermèche pulls those lined up with it one cell closer; in the opposite element (Fire and Water, Earth and Air), it pushes them back one cell; in one of the two other elements, it swaps places with the one in line. You need to place the 4 on the glyph, with at least one in contact with the box. Tips: first form a square with the Huppermèches, place one character on each side of the box between two Huppermèches, pull them one by one into contact with you, then push them onto the glyph. They sometimes seem to move on their own.
