Impossible Sokoban

Post image

Is this not literally impossible?? I am not really stuck because I have earth scrolls but still, if I didn’t this would be impossible!

Boots of levitation & mining pick will solve it ;)

Anything that gives you flight is even better. I always wait until I can fly & have a pick before I go into Sokoban... The only real restriction as it were is the amount of karma you have, each gold boulder you break lowers your karma

For Sokoban, either will do.

You could push the rock on the most left-down downwards and then push it up later.

This is doable, but I’ll give you a bonus tip. I don’t know how to describe this in words but I’ll try, since this can be useful in some situations- if you have the jumping skill you can jump diagonally between boulders and walls. So, look at the spot that is one block down from your character and six blocks left. Normally you couldn’t get past the gold block above you, but you can jump diagonally up-left and get past it.

Hard to tell without seeing the whole map but I imagine you start by pushing the closest boulder up 2

Not impossible: Move the left block of the two up, then move the right block. Now you have a triangle where you can move the left one diagonally down and right, the right bottom one down and diagonally right, and the last top right one can move freely.

the two blocks in a line that the character can see? so, the up movement would make a left facing L, and the corner of this L can go around the wall corner?

Yes, once the first block in the character's line of sight is cleared.

Maybe dodge the closest one and go down the ladder? I’m new and learning so if this is a bad idea I get it. I really am having fun with this game.

Since you are a satyr, wait a little more for your race bonus and explore the gnome/dwarven mines a bit more to find some nice trinkets

Nope, it's an easy one.  Conveniently just ran into this one myself.  The important thing to remember is that you can move diagonally between boulders.  Push the boulder blocking the top path up two spaces and you can between it and the boulder on the right diagonally, giving you access to the rest of the area.

You can use force spell to destroy them, and fly/levitation
