Luxor 3: The Isis Knot

(Please read the previous post before reading this post


Isis is the Ancient Egyptian goddess of magic and motherhood, and the protectress of the Pharaoh (I guess). She is the mother of the falcon god Horus. Her symbol is the Isis knot or Tyet (pictured above). The strange thing is, one of her brothers is Set, if Isis is the good while Set is the destruction, what kind of balance for heaven and hell?

Okay, what about this map? The lines start from the right, then cross over the bridge, then go down and cross under the bridge and perform a U-turn and finally go left to reach the pyramid.

For the best results, you need to aim the fireball or the colour cloud against the reflectors. The speed shot is the handiest if you are going to target at the reflectors. The lightning bolt is extremely handy because it has a lot of columns, and it worked best if you target the two close columns! The slow would be useful just in case that you need to aim carefully. Oh, the yellow has the wild ball and the stop. Use the wild ball to target at balls of the different colour in between. Use the stop to pause the balls if you try target better. The reverse could be handy for something, I guess. If you don't know how to use the reflectors, use the colour bomb or the colour replacer to remove a certain colour. The sandstorm could be handy, even handier if the balls are getting too close to the pyramid!

Did you know that it's possible to perform a double reflection? Of course, if you use the reverse and right timing (add the speed shot to help you). You can also try to aim the left reflector to the leftmost part. See this screenshot below:
Chapter 5: Pawn of Isis
Synopsis: The great goddess Isis is permanently besieged by Set. The humans were hoping that the Pharaoh's spirit may protect the goddess of motherhood.
I thought Isis' headdress is a throne. But why a sun disk and cow horns? I saw canopic jars. Sometimes gods have wings.
Recommended powerups: fireball, speed shot, lightning bolt, slow, wild ball, stop, reverse, colour bomb, scorpion, colour cloud, colour replacer, colour sort, sandstorm
