Treasure of Nadia Puzzles: All 49 Ancient Temple Unlocks and Solutions Tips

The Treasure of Nadia puzzles are the 49 block-pushing rooms inside the Ancient Temple. Each one is locked until you meet a condition elsewhere in the game (hearts, pages, outfits, fish, money), and each pays out a talisman when you reach its chest. This guide lists every unlock condition and reward, explains how the pieces behave, and gives a method that solves even the late rooms.

The chests inside puzzle rooms do not need keys. You only have to reach them without a snake catching you.

How the Puzzle Pieces Work

Piece Behaviour
Slider Once pushed, keeps moving in that direction until it hits something
Push Block Moves one square per push
Bomb Pick it up, then use it on a Blow Me block
Blow Me block Can only be removed with a bomb
Flasher (red or blue) Touch it to remove every Color Block of that colour
Color Block Cleared by the Flasher of its colour
Snake Chases you and is faster than you; it must be blocked in, not outrun

Two snake rules make many rooms easier: a snake only starts chasing once you step into a square it can see, and you can interact with a bomb or block from the next square without stepping onto it.

All 49 Treasure of Nadia Puzzles: Unlock Conditions and Rewards

A puzzle is only open while you currently meet its condition. If it needs a Grand Talisman, you must be holding one when you walk in.

Which Puzzles to Do First

Puzzles 12, 25, 28 and 34 depend on things that change: cash on hand, a Grand or Royal Talisman in your bag, and $25,000 in the Squallmart safe. Clear these four as soon as they open, before you start auto-selling talismans or spending big. The talisman tiers are explained in our Treasure of Nadia talismans guide.

Several unlocks are long-term goals: the fishing puzzles (7, 21, 31, 35, 44, 46) are covered in the fishing guide, and the page-count puzzles (2 to 41) follow the chest key and Kama Sutra locations. The three shovel puzzles open as you build the shovels in our shovels guide.

A Method That Solves Every Room

  1. Work backwards from the exit. Look at what blocks the chest: usually Blow Me blocks or Color Blocks.
  2. Count the bombs you need and find which Flashers clear the coloured blocks in your way.
  3. Trap the snakes first. Lure each one into a dead end, then close it with a Slider or Push Block.
  4. Only then collect bombs and press Flashers. Later rooms include pieces you never need to touch.
  5. Save before each room. A snake catch resets the puzzle.

Puzzle 12 is a good example of a room designed to make you overthink: lure the snake up, step down to trap it under the ledge, press the Blue Flasher and walk to the chest. Puzzle 7 has a trap of its own: click the chest the moment the path opens, or the snake gets you first.

First Three Treasure of Nadia Puzzles, Solved

Puzzle 1 (2 hearts)

Push the Slider to the right and take the bomb behind it. Push the Push Block left and take the second bomb. Use both on the two Blow Me blocks and open the chest for a Jade Talisman.

Puzzle 2 (2 pages)

Push the Slider up first; it seals the snake in. Move the Push Block one square left, touch the Flasher and walk to the chest.

Puzzle 3 (5 hearts)

Push the right Slider right and the left Slider left. Stand under each Slider in turn so the snakes come to you and get trapped, then press the Blue Flasher and the Red Flasher and open the chest.

These early rooms teach every mechanic the later Treasure of Nadia puzzles reuse: trap first, collect second, exit last.

Final Thoughts

Take the Treasure of Nadia puzzles slowly, save before each room and always trap the snakes first. With the unlock list above you can plan which Treasure of Nadia puzzles to open next while you play the rest of the game.
