help?

[Motionist]

My wife has this on her account and she has spent the last 3ish hours stuck on the island "Tidal Reef". Does anyone know if you need the flippers before you get the first 6 orbs to talk to the statue thingy? Shes at 5 orbs and can't seem to get the 6th one required :( I tried to help her by looking up any sort of puzzle solution for that island but theres nothing I can find :( Any help would be great!

I ran into this same issue. The smallest hint is that you will get the item for breaking blue blocks next.

Maybe another hint for the blue key item, since I also dismissed it quite a while, thinking I was missing some ablity:
It takes only the two blue boxes in the lower left to get it.

I'm also stuck at 5 blue gems and dont THINK i can solve A1 to get the 6th one without the flippers...

[Gojirra]

I can confirm that you do not need the flippers and the other comments are correct about what to do next.

I am also stuck at 5 blue orbs.
I see blue orbs on:
A1, for which I think I need to approach from A2 to hit the red bell, but on A2 there is no way through
C0, blocked by a blue block
D1, need to come from other side, which is blocked by a blue block
D2, don't have enough water blocks to reach

I guess I could use a hint. =)

The Key to the blue blocks is in C0.
It takes only the two blue boxes in the lower left to get it.
You can push a box off spikes without dying.

Maybe you can show me how you solved it but I wasn't able to until I unlocked the elemental and I had to "glitch" out a puzzle just to get the 6th orb for that.

Also been stuck on 5 blue orbs for a silly amount of time. I feel so stupid now too.

This game makes it really hard to discern whether you have all the tools for a level or not

Thank you, I didn't get that you could put a blue tablet on top of another sinked one !

Oh my god, stuck on this for a few hours - this place should somehow be streamlined, i almost dropped the game in frustration(

Also got stuck on 5 gems until this thread. I think C0 could use a touch up to communicate that you already have all the tools you need to get the new item

I think having the key puzzle with flowing water just above the bottom left water blocks in C0 confuses the situation and makes it think you don't have the right tools yet. Only part I got stuck on at all so far.
