This guide walks you through every riddle in Crawling Angels, but instead of mixing hints and spoilers together, everything is explained cleanly so you can follow each solution without confusion.
The game is very interaction-heavy. Most riddles rely on physics, timing, or combining objects in unusual ways, so if something isn’t working, it usually means the interaction wasn’t done correctly.
Chapter One – Basics & Core Interactions
Part One (Getting Used to Mechanics)
This first section teaches you how objects behave.
- Hammer to the Head → Hit the chicken with the hammer
- Walking on Eggshells → Slam the chicken so its feet break eggs
- Mind Blower → Slam a popper into the chicken’s head
- Slam! Boom! → Hit a popper using the hammer
Other key interactions:
- Smash eggs directly using tools
- Force-feed the chicken by opening its beak (hit the head until it opens)
- Place items like hats or boxes onto characters (look for the targeting indicator)
Part Two (More Object Combinations)
This section starts mixing items together.
- Fire bullets without using a gun by smashing or slamming them
- Make characters interact:
- Chicken kissing egg
- Fish kissing chicken
- Place objects creatively:
- Hat on egg
- Box on fish
You’ll also:
- Feed bullets to the chicken
- Reverse actions (like putting an egg back inside the chicken)
Part Three (Weapons & Precision)
Now the game introduces proper weapon usage.
- Load bullets into a gun by dragging them onto it
- Shoot specific targets like the chicken’s head
- Combine items with timing:
- Hat on chicken → then shoot
Accuracy starts to matter more here.
Chapter Two – Explosives & Timing Challenges
Part One
This part focuses heavily on explosives and grouped interactions.
- Blow up multiple firecrackers at once
- Insert items into the chicken (including lit explosives)
- Combine coins, hats, and props in creative ways
You’ll also encounter timed riddles:
- Solve at least 2 out of 3 quickly
- Easier ones should be done first
Part Two
Now the game adds more unusual interactions:
- Light cigarettes and use them to trigger other actions
- Burn objects like pages from a book
- Use animals or items to destroy others
You’ll also:
- Combine weapons and tools (gun + cigarette, etc.)
- Perform multi-step actions like:
- Shoot → switch tool → hit target again
Part Three
This section expands on unlocked items.
- Use special items like dunce caps, maracas, fireworks
- Combine hats with moving or explosive objects
- Trigger animations (like dancing roaches)
Some riddles require:
- Very specific placement (not just dropping items)
- Correct positioning until the targeting indicator appears
Chapter Three – Complex Multi-Step Riddles
Part One
This chapter introduces nesting mechanics and more precision.
- Open nesting dolls carefully (don’t go too far)
- Insert specific forms (like the chicken doll) into the main chicken
- Pop balloons using:
- Fire
- Nails
- Tools
Part Two
Now things get more layered.
- Shoot multiple targets in one sequence
- Use magnets (activated via switches)
- Insert objects into the chicken again, but with stricter conditions
You’ll also encounter skill-based tasks like:
- Cup-and-ball mechanics
- Catching objects with controlled movement
Part Three
This part mixes everything learned so far.
- Shoot the chicken repeatedly mid-air
- Use shotgun or revolver for specific effects
- Combine random objects (coins, chess pieces, urns)
Key focus:
- Timing
- Accuracy
- Correct object selection
Part Four
You may encounter a bug here where Chapter Four doesn’t trigger properly. If NPCs stop responding, restarting the game may be required.
Riddle-wise, this section includes:
- Stopwatch interactions (must hear ticking)
- Breaking objects while specific items are active
- Combining tools with environmental triggers
Chapter Four – Final Systems & Inner Child Mechanics
Part One
This section introduces new mechanics involving the Inner Child.
- Combine objects with bodies or corpses
- Replace the chicken’s head using other items
- Activate tools like stopwatches before interacting
Part Two
Skill-based challenges become more demanding:
- Score multiple home runs in a row
- Complete cup-and-ball multiple times
- Remove obstacles (like the chicken) to simplify space
Part Three
Now you begin uncovering hidden mechanics.
- Interact with the lock near the riddle board
- Feed the Inner Child items (coins, explosives, etc.)
- Use violence-based interactions (shooting, smashing)
Be careful:
- Some actions can bug out if objects leave the screen
Part Four
This section focuses entirely on the Inner Child:
- Destroy the body completely
- Make the character hold and use objects (like rockets)
- Use magnets to lift the character
Everything here builds toward the final riddles.
Final Riddles (Endgame Solutions)
These are the last steps to finish the game:
- Swallow the Key → Make the Inner Child eat the key
- This Crawling Angel → Place the wing into its hand
- Induced Lung Cancer → Destroy body, then insert a lit cigarette into the lung
- Hidden Riddle → Feed the smallest nesting creature to the Inner Child
Crawling Angels is less about logic puzzles and more about experimentation with objects.
If something isn’t working:
- Check positioning
- Look for the targeting cursor
- Try applying more force or different angles
Most puzzles have simple answers, but the way you execute them is what makes the game challenging.
