Tricky Story 3 Level 21 Walkthrough
Tricky Story 3 Level 21 is a crossbow training puzzle at an outdoor range. Cece wears a white training outfit and practices under two military instructors in black uniforms. Across 8 rounds she progresses from close-range targets to harder shots. 'Start by practicing at close range' sets the first task, and 'Sweets will help your body relax' introduces a calming item between rounds.
Board Notes
- Layout
- An outdoor crossbow training range with wooden fences, archery targets at varying distances, and dirt ground. Cece wears a white training outfit. Two men in black military uniforms stand nearby as instructors. A wooden chair sits to the right of the range.
- Goal
- Improve Cece's crossbow skills across 8 rounds (0/8 to 7/8) by following instructor cues and practicing at increasing distances.
- Opening
- The instructors set up the range. First instruction: 'Start by practicing at close range.' Tap the nearest target to begin training.
- Danger Zone
- Mid-level Cece gets tense — 'Sweets will help your body relax' hints at using an item. Missing this calming step makes later shots harder. Rushing to long-range targets before completing close-range practice fails.
- Mechanics
- A progressive training puzzle where each round requires following an instructor's dialogue cue. Start close, eat sweets to relax, and work up to harder targets. The instructors give one hint per round.
