Tricky Story: Story 3 Level 9 Walkthroughs & Guide

Tricky Story: Story 3 Level 9 — Help Noah and Cassian make amends to Cece Guide Overview

Tricky Story 3 Level 9 puts you in a reconciliation scene, and here's what I learned after several attempts: you won't get through it by skipping straight to the bunny. My first attempt skipped straight to the bunny, which did nothing. Turns out Tricky Story 3 Level 9 is less about random gift-giving and more about preparing two reluctant apologizers. You're not just handing stuff to Cece—you're equipping Noah and Cassian with the right emotional tools first. The level's dialogue hints at Cece's hidden agenda (she's actually planning to escape and find Felix), but don't get distracted. Focus on getting those amends made before you can move on.

Pattern Overview

Equip Noah and Cassian with comforting items so they can sincerely apologize to Cece.

The Emotional Sequence

• Water Before Apology: Noah needs hydration to calm his nerves before speaking.
• Apple and Knife for Preparation: Cutting fruit together builds shared purpose, not just a snack.
• Shawl for Warmth: Physical comfort lowers defensive walls.
• Flower Vase for Setting: A pretty focal point shifts the mood from confrontation to care.
• Carpet as a Seating Gesture: Offering a comfortable spot signals "let's sit and talk."
• Tea and Cake as Social Bribe: Food eases tension faster than words.
• Bunny as a Peace Ambassador: An adorable animal disarms even the hardest grudge.
• Bracelet as Final Token: A personal gift from Cassian seals the reconciliation.

Why This Level Feels Tricky + The Key Insight

Two things trip up most players. First, the game never tells you that Noah and Cassian need items before they can approach Cece. You'll likely tap Cece first, find nothing works, and waste time. Second, the carrot-to-bunny step looks like a random puzzle—why feed a rabbit in a forgiveness quest?

Here's my "aha." I assumed you could drag any gift straight to Cece, like past levels. So I tapped the carpet on her—nothing. Then the tea basket—nope. Frustrated, I re-read Cece's thought: "Still not enough." That's when I noticed Noah's empty hands. The trigger was seeing his idle animation: he kept glancing at the ground. I understood: Tricky Story 3 Level 9 treats Noah and Cassian as intermediaries. You have to give them the items first. Once I handed Noah the water, his posture changed, and suddenly the carpet worked on Cece. The method isn't about item order—it's about who holds the item when it's offered.

Step 1. Water for Composure

Start by grabbing the glass of water from the table near the left side. Tricky Story 3 Level 9 doesn't let you hand anything directly to Cece until Noah and Cassian are ready. Drag the glass to Noah—he'll take it and drink. Watch his expression shift from tense to slightly relaxed. Cece mutters "Still not enough" in her head, which is the cue to keep building. This step unlocks Noah's ability to receive more items. Without it, all later gifts bounce off him.

Step 2. Apple and Knife for Cooperation

Next up is the apple and paring knife sitting on the crate to the right. These two items are a combo—you must give them together. Tricky Story 3 Level 9 forces you to drag both onto Noah simultaneously. He'll start cutting the apple, which creates a shared action between him and Cassian. That action triggers Cassian to step closer. If you skip this, Noah stays isolated. The screen updates with a small sparkle effect above Cassian's head, telling you he's now paying attention.

Step 3. Shawl for Warmth

The shawl hangs over a chair near the back. Give it to Noah right after the apple. Tricky Story 3 Level 9 uses this item to signal emotional readiness—Noah drapes it around his shoulders and looks toward Cece. At this point, his posture changes from defensive to open. Cece's dialogue "These two will fully support the female lead Isabella later" flashes briefly, reminding you this is a setup for later betrayal. But for now, the shawl gives you confidence that Noah is ready to engage.

Step 4. Flower Vase for Setting

A small flower vase sits on the window ledge to the left. Drag it to Noah, and he'll place it on the ground between himself and Cece. Tricky Story 3 Level 9 uses this item to create a literal centerpiece for the apology. The vase glows briefly, and the background music softens. This is the last item Noah needs before the focus shifts to direct gifts for Cece. If you missed the apple earlier, the vase won't register—the sequence is strict.

Step 5. Carpet as a Seating Gesture

Here's where things change. The carpet is hanging on the tree to the right. Don't give it to Noah this time—drag it directly to Cecilia on the left. Tricky Story 3 Level 9 now accepts direct actions because Noah and Cassian are prepped. The carpet unrolls in front of her, and she steps onto it. This clears a fog effect from the bottom of the screen, revealing the tea basket that was previously hidden. Operation feedback: the number of remaining items drops from 8 to 7.

Step 6. Tea and Cake as Treats

The tea and cake basket appears near the tree after the carpet is placed. Drag it to Cecilia. Tricky Story 3 Level 9 triggers a small animation: she picks up a teacup and sips it. Her scowl softens a little. Cece thinks "This will be a disadvantage for me," referencing her own escape plan. But stay on task—this step unlocks the bush that hides the bunny. Without the tea, the bush won't respond to any swipe.

Step 7. Bunny as a Peace Ambassador

Now the tricky part. Swipe the bush to the left—it slides open, revealing a carrot on the ground. Give the carrot to the bunny that hops out. Tricky Story 3 Level 9 then asks you to drag the bunny next to Cecilia. When placed, the bunny snuggles against her leg. That action triggers a heart icon above her head. Operation feedback: the bunny consumes the carrot and the bush stays open, leaving exactly 2 items on the board. If you try to give the bunny before the tea, it ignores you.

Step 8. Bracelet as Final Token

Last item: the gemstone bracelet on Cassian's wrist. You need to tap it first, then drag it to Cecilia. Tricky Story 3 Level 9 uses this as the reward for completing the previous seven steps. Cassian takes off the bracelet and offers it himself. Cecilia accepts, and the screen flashes gold. All items are now used, and the level ends. Cece's internal dialogue confirms: "If I'm not wrong… he's at the slave market now." The path to Felix is now open.

The Logic Behind It

Tricky Story 3 Level 9 solves by first equipping the intermediaries (Noah and Cassian) with personal comfort items, then offering direct gifts to Cece only after they're emotionally ready. The method is "prepare the giver, then the gift."

Final Scene Description

When I finished, I watched Cece hold the bracelet up to the light. The gold reflected onto Noah's face, and for a moment, everyone smiled. Cassian stepped back, arms crossed in relief. Tricky Story 3 Level 9 ended with the bunny hopping onto the carpet, and I knew Cece's real mission was just beginning. She had bought herself an alibi—but the escape rope was still waiting outside.
