Elder runes must be forged in precise sequences to channel ancient power. The forge grimoire reveals each sequence and you tap rune stones in order before the forge temperature drops below the activation threshold. A cold forge produces cracked runes worth half score; a perfect forge produces legendary elder runes worth triple and grants power crystals for later sequences.

Guide a micro dot through a pellet maze by tapping directional cells. Eat every pellet to clear the maze and advance. Ghost dots patrol the corridors and reverse direction unpredictably — getting cornered means retreating and finding a new route through the maze. Power pellets turn the tables for five seconds, letting you eat ghost dots for massive bonus points.

A pendulum swings back and forth above a set of catch zones and you tap the correct zone the instant the pendulum passes over it. The pendulum accelerates with every successful catch and the zones narrow simultaneously. A miss resets the pendulum speed but not the zone width. Chain twenty consecutive catches at maximum speed to unlock the legendary swinging challenge.
