Heroes and Stones East is a far south area in Order of the Sinking Star. It is accessed by opening the HxS gold room, which can be reached after making significant progress in Heroes of Hauling and Skipping Stones, and completing screen #3 in Heroes and Stones West. This walkthrough will help you reach Order of the Sinking Star‘s Heroes and Stones East area and solve all the puzzles found there.
Instructions that give an unmodified direction (e.g. “move left”) mean move one square in that direction. If the direction has a modifier (e.g. “x3”), move that many squares in the indicated direction. If the term “all the way” is used, travel in that direction until you run into a barrier or reach the end of a path.
