Skipping Stones Level 2 in Order of the Sinking Star: All 12 Puzzle Solutions

The second level of Skipping Stones to Lonely Homes, the south world in Order of the Sinking Star, runs across 12 puzzle screens. It carries over the stone-pushing and lily-pad riding from the first level and brings in a second controllable character, so most screens ask you to coordinate two figures across the water at once.

Quick answer: Level 2 has 12 screens. You may assign either character as C1 or C2 on every screen except Screen 12, where the character carried over from level one must be C1.

How the C1 and C2 labels work

Each action below starts with the character who performs it. C1 is character one, C2 is character two. Which figure you treat as which is your choice on screens 1 through 11.

Screen 12 is the exception. The character from level one has to be set as C1 there, or the final sequence will not line up.
