Little Alchemy 2 looks like a fun and educational game. The developers intended to make the game available to children and everyone who wants a different approach to how elements interact with one another. The way Little Alchemy 2 works is by combining two elements to make a new one. There are more than 720 elements in the game, with a couple of dozen hidden gems. Hidden gems are like easter eggs to popular television characters and memorabilia, such as Doctor Who or Ninja Turtles.
But it will take time until you get to create these hidden gems. Until then, chances are you’ll get stuck and in need of assistance. So what do you do when you get stuck in Little Alchemy 2? This guide will help you with that.
Go Over the Basic Elements
In Little Alchemy 2, you start with four “basic” elements. These are air, fire, earth, and water. You will make the bulk of the early combinations using these four elements. You start the game by combining these four elements. For example, air and earth give you dust, while fire and water give you steam. But that doesn’t mean you can’t combine these new elements with the basic ones. If you combine steam and water, you will get mist. Combine mist and fire, and you revert to air.
Once you make a breakthrough, it can open endless new opportunities. For example, making a plant in Little Alchemy 2 opens the possibilities to explore numerous plant-based discoveries. But how do you discover plants? To do that, check out this useful tip.
Our first Little Alchemy 2 tip when stuck is to keep combining new elements with the basic ones. At some point, you will discover something that you’ve glossed over.
Combine Two Of the Same Elements
Little Alchemy 2 also allows you to combine two of the same elements. For example, water with water makes puddle, while fire and fire make energy. There are a lot of other combinations, and all you need to do is combine two of the same elements.
This is yet another tip that can help you when stuck. Since the game is meant to educate the player on how new elements are created, it makes sense to combine the same element. An example of a mid-game element is house. Combine two walls, and you will get a house.
Ask For Help
Let’s say that you’re stuck and the solution is nowhere in sight. You’ve tried combining new discoveries with “basic” elements, but nothing happens. Getting stuck is quite common in Little Alchemy 2. The game doesn’t make it easy for you. Not every new element is easily discoverable. You need to think about what you’re doing. Luckily, the game is intended for children. So it’s common to assume that children will get stuck more often.
To help with that, the game has a “Hint” button located on the left-hand side of the screen. By clicking on it, it will take you to another screen where it will give you one random creation. The creation can be anything because it’s random. It won’t tell you how to make plants, for example, but tell you how to create a house or human, or even one of the more difficult ones – life.
But the help feature is there for your assistance. Use when you get stuck.
Go Over the Official Wiki
The game’s official Wiki is where the player can find all the information they need about the game. It serves as an encyclopedia for the entire game. Here, you can find information on each element and how to create it. Simply said, it’s there to tell you everything about the game.
When stuck, go on the Wiki and look for an item that you’re trying to create. Maybe you’re looking at how to discover the hidden gems, or perhaps how to discover life. Regardless, the Wiki has it all.
Watch A Video
Despite being an educational game and quite small, the Little Alchemy 2 community is wonderful. They make videos on YouTube to help you get unstuck. These videos are an excellent source of information. Want to discover the hidden gems? Why not watch a video that can explain to you how they work. You don’t need the answer, necessarily, but a hint at how to approach them.
For example, and this is a spoiler, you can make Ninja Turtle by combining a Ninja and a Turtle. Sounds basic, right? But who would have thought that the game has these combinations? Well, that’s why they’re called hidden gems. They’re meant to be fun and remember us of things in popular media. They’re not necessary or important to your progression.
