Western Door Puzzle

You'll now face a tile puzzle where the goal is to flip all tiles to their gold sides. There's no limit to how many times you can click. Each time you flip a tile, it also flips the eight surrounding tiles in a 3x3 grid. To solve it, first reset the puzzle until it matches the default layout shown below. You can do this by right-clicking the gold solution, then repeatedly clicking the “reset puzzle” button until the tiles match the image. Once the layout is correct, click the tiles in the exact order shown in the guide. When all tiles turn gold, the puzzle will complete, and you’ll wake up fully healed outside the pyramid.
