Tricky Castle Level 4 walkthroughs & guide

Below is a comprehensive walkthrough for Tricky Castle Level 4, covering the complete route from the opening position to the exit. The main challenge in Tricky Castle Level 4 is learning how to push the gate instead of searching for a key while avoiding the trick built into the room. Follow the steps in order, check the visible response after each action and use the screenshot above to confirm that you are on the same version of the level.

Tricky Castle Level 4 quick answer: Ignore the missing key and keep pushing the gate to the right. The gate itself moves toward the exit and clears the level.

1

Step 1. Walk up to the gate

In Tricky Castle Level 4, move to the right until the knight is pressed directly against the closed gate. The lock and missing key are distractions, so there is no need to search the empty parts of the room first. Position the character flush with the gate and keep facing right. The puzzle only begins to respond when continued movement pressure is applied to the obstacle itself.

Step 2. Keep holding right

In Tricky Castle Level 4, continue holding the right movement control even though the gate initially appears solid. After sustained contact, the entire gate starts sliding toward the exit. Do not release the direction to look for a switch or backtrack for a key. The joke of the room is that the supposed barrier can be moved, and persistence is the only action needed to reveal that behavior.

Step 3. Follow the gate out

In Tricky Castle Level 4, stay beside the moving gate and keep walking right as it travels across the room. Once the opening is clear, continue through the exposed route and reach the exit. If the gate stops before enough space appears, press against it again rather than restarting the search for a key. The same simple movement completes the whole solution.

Notes and Precautions

  1. 1. The visible lock is deliberate misdirection. A key is not required for the main solution.
  2. 2. The gate moves only while the knight continues pushing against it, so a quick tap may not reveal the mechanic.
  3. 3. Stay aligned with the gate as it slides; stepping away too early can make it look as though the barrier has stopped permanently.
  4. 4. Match the movable locked gate shown in the screenshot if your Android or iOS version uses different level numbers.

Tips and Tricks

  1. 1. Test physical contact with suspicious obstacles before searching the entire room for hidden items.
  2. 2. Hold the direction steadily for a moment; this puzzle is about persistence rather than timing.
  3. 3. Ignore the visual language of the lock once the gate begins moving—the movement confirms you have found the intended solution.
  4. 4. Collect bats on a replay if they distract from maintaining contact with the sliding gate.
