The star puzzle | Shaggy Comet Samorost 3 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Before you fly to the next planet, you have to make a short stop on the comet, circling around the second planet. Climb down to the surface of the comet and try interacting with the area marked in the above screenshot. This will start a puzzle.

The aim of this puzzle is to make red elements disappear from the arms of the star shown in the above screenshot. Clicking on the red orb results in it being devoured by the object in the center of the star (it resembles a horseshoe). The orb will be spit out after you click on it while it is inside the horseshoe. You can also turn the start around and change the orientation of the arms in relation to the horseshoe. To do this, hold down the LMB on an arm and move it.

At the beginning of the puzzle, each arm consists of 3 orbs. You can change this, but if there are more than 4 orbs on a given arm, the fifth one turns red and returns to a different arm. After it is devoured by the horseshoe, Red orb turns into a white one. You need to keep repeating your actions until the moment at which there are no red orbs on the star. Then, place 3 orbs on each arm of the star.

After you are done, the star will start to whirl and the interactive spot from before will turn into an entrance into the comet.

Just like with the previous locations, you can enter the comet with the pointer after it turns into a down arrow.

After you enter the shaggy comet, you note two areas that require your special attention. The first one is the large tumor on the cave wall. As for now, you can ignore it. Right now, focus on the insect on the cave's ceiling, i.e. on its feelers. Note that after you click on them, a sound reverberates all around the cave.
