🧩 Level Information

• Level Number: 429
• Problem Statement: Tilt the sword diagonally when it's the knight on horseback
• Difficulty: Hard

🎯 Objective

On the screen, position the sword of the "knight on horseback", not straight but at a diagonal angle.

📝 Step-by-Step Guide

1. Among the characters on the screen, find the knight on horseback. Do not touch other soldiers or weapons.
2. Long-press to grab only the sword (or blade) that the knight on horseback is holding.
3. Instead of moving the sword up, down, left, or right, rotate the sword by rolling your finger. In many cases, dragging in a circular motion will change its direction.
4. Rotate the sword until it is at a 'diagonal' angle of about 45 degrees to the floor.
5. Releasing the finger with the sword firmly tilted diagonally will clear the level.

💡 Hints

• First, confirm which character is the 'knight on horseback'. Ignore soldiers not mounted on horses.
• The problem statement indicates not only the target to move but also how to move it. You need to follow the instruction 'tilt the sword diagonally'.
• There is no need to move the knight. Only the direction of the 'sword' should be changed.
• Instead of trying to change the position of the sword by dragging it in different directions, try to find the part that can be 'rotated'. Trying motions with two fingers or circular gestures could be beneficial.

🧠 Analysis & Key Points

This level is a typical trick question where the text itself is the solution. From the phrase "tilt the sword diagonally when it's the knight on horseback," many players might associate with the movement of a knight in chess, or think of moving the knight diagonally. However, the actual operation should be on the 'direction of the sword held by the knight'. In other words, the objective is to change the weapon's angle, not the position or path of the knight. In Brain Test, even seemingly fixed parts can often be 'rotated' or 'dragged' when looked closely. In this level, by tapping and holding the sword to rotate it, you can change the orientation from vertical/horizontal to diagonal. As the problem statement describes, the condition will be achieved and cleared when the sword is distinctly diagonal. The key is not trying to move the knight or horse itself, but focusing on the keywords 'sword' and 'diagonal' in the text, and exploring if you can operate accordingly with creativity.

🔍 Common Mistakes

• Trying to move the knight on horseback in an L-shape grid pattern like a chess knight.
• Attempting to swipe the knight on horseback diagonally, getting stuck with nowhere to move.
• Tapping around all characters on the screen, assuming the correct answer is a hidden button.
• Dragging the sword up, down, left, or right to only change its position, mistaking the inability to change angle as a bug.
• Thinking the problem statement is just a mere decoration, trying to solve intuitively without thoroughly understanding the instructions, thereby wasting time.

🎉 Advice After Clearing

Although simply tilting the sword diagonally is a very straightforward answer, the difficulty of the level greatly depends on reading the sentence as an 'instruction'. Next time, first consider if you cannot apply the textual hints directly into actions.
