Letter Quest: Grimm's Journey Remastered

There are 40 stages in the game and each stage has one crystal (red) star that can only be attempted after completing the three yellow stars for that stage. The crystal stages are the toughest part of this game, so it's highly recommended to save them all for last, after you've gotten all 120 yellow stars and purchased all upgrades for health, attack, and defense. You should also upgrade potion capacity and go into each stage with full potions.

The crystal star stages are difficult because every enemy is an "elite" version (more health, stronger attack, better defense), and they each have a bonus effect applied to them, such as "only takes damage from 4-letter words" or "takes double damage from words that begin with a vowel."

That being said, some of them are pretty easy as long as you can spell long words. Some of them are more difficult when enemies only take damage from shorter words, since your damage is pretty limited and you'll have to make sure you have a lot of health and good defense to last long enough to spell that many words.

One other thing to take advantage of are crystal tiles. They appear randomly, and have different effects depending on the color. You get their effects by using them in a word. They can be stacked with the same color and with other colors at the same time. Here's what they do:

• Blue - shield for 3 turns (reduces damage taken)
• Red - increases damage by 30% for 3 turns
• Purple - converts 50% of damage to health for 3 turns
• Orange - recovers 15% health
• Light Blue - all 4 of the above effects at the same time

So it's naturally in your best interest to use tiles as soon as they appear to get their benefits. That being said, use orange tiles to your advantage - if you have full health, save the orange crystal tile until you need it!
