Level 4:
You can watch my video for Level 4 here or continue below for my step-by-step guide.
1. Move ahead and then left. Find the sword and take it.
2. Go back and straight ahead to the wheel. Pick up note 1/3. Turn the wheel to open a little door above it. Use the sword to cut through the vines so you can take the tile.
3. Head left again. Rotate the gold piece on the door and enter the building.
4. Head to the left and solve the first laser puzzle by tapping the two yellow circles and then the two blue circles.
5. Do the same for the next one.
6. And now the last, which will activate a bigger laser heading outside.
7. Head outside. Turn right to move a rock and get letter 2/3. Then follow the laser. Rotate the circular piece so the laser hits the center of the pedestal.
8. Now head back and to the right side. Open the door and head inside. Solve the first puzzle. You need to rotate each piece so they all fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.
9. And now the next one.
10. And the last one will activate another laser.
11. Don’t leave. Let’s get the third letter. Look at the tile in your hand. You need to create that pattern using the negative space between the pieces, like below.
12. Go collect the third letter from under the left round table.
13. Follow the right laser and rotate the circular piece again to unlock the door to the portal.
14. Head through the doorway and turn both wheels to shut off the water and reveal a bridge to the portal.
15. Place the tile over the portal and go through to complete the level.
And here’s all three letters:

Thanks! Didn’t know there was a #2.
Just released today. 🙂
… and isn’t that camera awesome?! I hope they upgrade the past games to include cameras. WoW.
Yes! So useful!
I can’t figure out how to steer this darn boat
My tile is different OMG! I didnΓÇÖt press all the squares but I got the tile only different ?
What do you mean?
Ah I see they made it easier.
IΓÇÖll eventually go back and edit it.
I’m sending you the pictures in email. I took shots with my phone 🙂
The Hints system is awesome, but they don’t do the 3rd letter, lol.
Anyone know how to find the third letter/note on level 15??
Argh yeah I’m trying to figure that one out too, it’s the laat one I need to get.
Did you get the secret notes on levels 19 and 20?
Not going to spoil anything for the 3rd note on 15, but IΓÇÖll hint: have you tried interacting with the dials in the 2nd Room?
>.> I thought I tried that, but I never realised what it was doing. Thanks for that.
Trying to find the third note in level 12 is driving me insane.
Me too. Queremos is It?
the puzzle piece isn’t just the clue….
Aaarg. It looks like I can use the piece on the panel to make an O shape but it wo t let me do that. HEEEEELP.
Never mind. As always I figured it out 1 minute after posting. Sneaky.
Alright y’all. Here’s a secret. On the home page, you can slide the little white cubes on either side of the Faraway text. I don’t know the solution though.
Haha whoa I missed that. Nice catch! IΓÇÖll have to work on that after I finish everything else.
Let me know if you need assistance! I’ve got all the letters for every level.
Any hint for the third note on 14? I tried putting all the yellow/blue/green things in the center and it didnΓÇÖt work.
That’s almost right. You are moving all of those levers, but you need to make them cascade from the top all the way right, to the bottom which is all the way left.
Hmmm I had already tried that too.
I guess IΓÇÖll fiddle around with it more, see if maybe I had something off a tiny bit.
Do you understand how the gears work on level 18? IΓÇÖve been getting them mostly through trial and error and now thatΓÇÖs bitten me in the arse with the one that doesnΓÇÖt have any feedback.
The gears seem to turn the segment between them orange if they are spinning in opposite directions. Doesn’t matter which direction for each gear – just opposite to the other one. Does that help?
I think so. Thanks!
CanΓÇÖt seem to find the third letter in 18? The level is making me dizzy.
Third letter should be located at the end portal after u get three key to open the door (should call it key?). Actually I just finished few minutes ago but I totally forgot.
And for the second letter, inside the jar at point 9 picture, the jar is behind the walls. Hope it will help u solving the pizza
Ahh found it! Sneaky hidden jar!
So, the story ends there(level 18)?. There is no way to learn more?
After getting 100%, the sliding boxes on the title screen unlock a final puzzle. ItΓò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö£├╗s a 6×6 grid of squares that can be tapped to change from white to black. I donΓò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö£├╗t know the solution yet. IΓò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö£├╗m combing through the levels for hints.
I notice level 1 entrance has 6 square boxes across the top. Haven’t noticed any others yet.
Found this too by chance. Unfortunately I wasn’t paying attention at where I placed the sliders.. could the coordinates Steps writes in a note have to do with solving the secret puzzle?
The coordinates this time lead us to a temple on the silk road called the Qigexing temple, or the ” seven stars temple”
These coordinates (41.992, 86.221) are antipodes (opposite side of the globe) to the coordinates found in level 18 of Faraway 1
I think since one of the game(each 18 levels) take 1 year of game’s time, and the last note is at 2007-11-06, this means a new faraway game is in the making, which will be revealed soon enough. And since the the last portal, one the of the dream(note) talks of a snowy mountain,, just like the first game, which had a note of dream of a lush green mountain, the next and the final game, will take place in some snowy mountain, whose coordinates are revealed in the last note. And the end of it will reveal the faraway and the death of protagonist’s father.
That would be wonderful! I hope you’re right!
I think theres a glitch on level 6, because I’ve ran through 3 times now and i still can’t get the third letter. And yes i did follow the instructions on the walkthrough.
The secret level from the main menu. Slide the squares on either side of the title inward all the way. The pattern is:
wwwwww
wbwwbw
bbbbbb
bbbbbb
wbwwbw
wwwwww
W=white square
B=black squares
Forgot the important part lol. Take a picture of the tombstone. then look at the picture
Awesome!! Thanks!!!
No matter what I do I canΓÇÖt trigger the third note to appear in level 6. I have slid that little grey slider across quickly, slowly, stopping, without stopping etc- no matter what I do nothing is triggered!
Frustrating!
Can you help?
Imagine the rectangle slider puzzle. Move the grey slider to 3rd segmentand stop. Then move it to the 4th and back to the 3rd
DoesnΓÇÖt work for 3rd letter. CanΓÇÖt hold the things down and open the slot. It just keeps moving and I cant get it to work no matter how many times i restart the game.
on the phone version there’s now a level 19 and 20 and I’m getting frustrated with the second level 20 puzzle. Help!!
Hello. The last letter for level 20. Help please.
Got it! 🙂
Please, give us a hint! Is there something related to the stairs?
I just moved the marked lever back and forth as quickly as possible and eventually noticed there was now a hollow in the tallest stair block. Move the other two out of the way and you can get the note
In the room with the gate and the three stairs you have to move the switch with the yellow band back and forth until the stair open and release the letter. 🙂
It’s driving me crazy! How’d you get it?
As of recent update, level 8 has less puzzles. The last two ordering ones are gone (big little big little pattern and coloured corners)
La troisi╬ô├╢┬úΓö¼ΓöÉme notes n’est pas a l’endroit de la vid╬ô├╢┬ú╬ô├«├ëo alors que les deux
Première sont a la bonne place que faire
Why are there no walkthroughs on levels 19 and 20? I canΓÇÖt figure out the hidden note on level 20. Never mind I figured it out. Thanks n e way.
No hint for us?
Level 12 wonΓÇÖt give me the last nut? Anyone else have this problem?
I can’t get the 3rd letter on level 6. I’ve messed with the slider over the portal in every way I can think of (slow, fast, in segments, only stopping on red squares, only on brown, etc.) Is the something I’m missing? I completed all the other puzzles on the level and took pictures of the portal and the sliders where the letter is supposed to come out. I can’t think of anything else I might need to do. Please help!
So you gotta try and imagine the rectangle slider puzzle as your doing it. Move the slider to the 3rd red segment and stop it. Then move it to the 4th segment and back to the 3rd x
I’ve done this in both directions and still haven’t been able to get the third note. Is there something I’m missing?
I really enjoy your walkthroughs. Will you be adding levels 19 & 20? Pleeeeeeeeeeze
I have finished all 18 levels and found all 3 notes for each (plus did the secret one) but it still hasnΓÇÖt opened up the 19th and 20th levels for me. Is there something I have to do to open them?
Same question! CanΓÇÖt find how to open up 19 and 20 anywhere =(
I guess since itΓò¼├┤Γö£├ºΓö£├╗s an older game most everyone has finished it and moved on 🙁
For some reason, on level 2, there are a few differences in the mobile game. For instance, there are only 3 stone pillars, and the buttons don’t activate other buttons… Anybody else having this problem? Reply if you are.
Um, did anyone notice that the tile piece that opens the portal in level 10 of Faraway 2 IS THE SAME TILE PIECE AS LEVEL 1 IN THE FIRST FARAWAY GAME?!?!?!?!?! This is so mind-boggling
Hi, the keys you need to use do nothing I can walk but thats all, what am I missing??? It only tells you ASDX to move forward, backward and left and right… Help
