This vine is quite appetizing to the snail, causing it to move out of the heroes' way. This is performed by guiding a trickling stream of water onto a glowing spot on the ground so a leafy vine can grow out from the ground. An early puzzle requires players to somehow remove a large snail from the protagonists' path. That is because all three protagonists are needed to work together to solve the various puzzles Trine 2: Director's Cut throws at you. This makes for a difficult challenge as the three characters are very much needed because as stated, each has their own abilities that allow you, the player, to get through a given level. If you select Hardcore Mode before starting the game, when a character dies, they are gone for good until the level is complete, and then they are revived.

The tale is told through scripted sequences and spoken by a narrator. All they'll have to face are platforming challenges, puzzles, and the occasional barrage of the goblin menace. The story of Trine 2 once again has the fabled Trine artifact binding three heroes, Amadeus the wizard, Zoya the thief, and Pontius the knight together on a danger-filled journey to save the kingdom.
