This guide should help you achieve the gold trophy for Faerie Caves II. This game has a max score of 1520 and all users who receive that score and are on the high scores list by the end of the night will be awarded:

If you wind up enjoying the game than you can even submit a level that all neopians can play winning you the Faerie Caves II spot light trophy:

The Objective:

You need to collect all of the gems and unlock all the treasure chests by retrieving the gray keys. The one purple key in the level unlocks the end door and must also be collected before proceeding to the next level.

Torches are used to light both green and red dynamite. You must move quickly when igniting dynamite because if you don’t move away far enough (at least 2 blocks) you will loose a life. Greens blow up surrounding walls making new paths.

Spike doors are located around the levels and must also be maneuvered through quickly or they will close on you and you will loose another life. Depending on which way the spikes are facing signifies which way they will close. 

Balloons and rocks are both dangerous and helpful. You can easily be crushed by both. Yet you can use them to your advantage by pushing then on and off pads to hold and release various gates. 

You have three lives to make it through the 19 levels.

Estimate completion time: 15 – 20 minutes

My Guide is set up as follows:
Level Number: Name
Level Score: The highest amount of points achieved in the level
Total Score: The maximum total score you can achieve

Method One:
Method one is a written guide along with a numbered map that corresponds with the level. 

Method Two:
Visual guide that has one continuous line that guides you the entire way. I use this in combination with method one when certain parts arnt clear. The line is yellow that is your path. If it is red, it means that the action or steps need to be done quickly so you avoid dieing (boulder, balloon, spiky gate, or dynamite) The line may be a different color in some levels, this is when you walk over the same block twice and your paths cross. One line will be a different color so you can distinguish which is the correct path. There are also little green squares that are considered ‘safe spots’ from dangers. 

Method Three:
Movement through the game by steps. Some are listed in red signifying that it needs to be done quickly to avoid any danger. You read down the columns, not across.
