Cat Quest 3 puzzle solutions

Here are the various solutions to the glowing rocks puzzles in Cat Quest 3. I would recommend using a pistol to shoot the stones rather than using your weapon. However, some need special weapons, so pay attention to the guide.

Number	Solution	Reward
1	Each rock needs to be shot in order using your ship cannon. They have numbers beneath. I recommend approaching the second one by going through the maze counterclockwise and doubling back for three and 5. This is a timed challenge, so it may take a little practice.	Cannon Reload
2	On the opposite side of the north end of the island is the solution on an island that mirrors the rock puzzle in Cat Quest 3. You need to shoot the stones in order of: right of center, far left, right, right of center, and center.	Magical Glove
3	A simple puzzle at Code Island. Simply shoot the stones in the correct order of the number. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.	Magical Purse
4	All of these need to be hit at once using a spell such as a fireball. Hit them from the small rock side to the large.	Magical Punching Bag
5	Hit these from smallest to largest.	Magical Glove
6	Speak to the character in the tower beside the rocks. He will give you the clue. Shoot the rocks in this order: 2, 5, 3, 4, 1, 6.	Magical Punching Bag
7	Run along the beach from south to north, shooting the stones in order. Be quick; they’re on a timer.	Magical Purse
8	Beneath the rocks are small pebbles dictating the number of shots needed. Shoot them in order of South, West, North, and East to complete the final glowing rocks puzzle in Cat Quest 3.	Magical Glove
