Babel no Tou/Stages 33 - 40

''Reminder: The screenshots below are taken from the graphically enhanced X68000 versions. The floor setup and solutions are identical to the Famicom and Game Boy Color versions.''

Stage 33

 * There are three crystals to collect and two priests to deal with. One will start out attacking you right away, so squash it with the block that you start next to.  The other priest will be stuck inside the pattern of blocks along with two of the crystals at points 3 and 4.
 * If you're brave, you can try plucking blocks 5 and 6 out and dropping down beneath them to collect the crystals on the way. But you can't always tell where the priest below will be waiting, so it might be better to plan a safer approach.
 * Instead, pluck blocks 1 and 2 from their place and let the staircase fall down. They will create perfect paths to the crystals that don't force you to deal with the priest below.  In fact, if you do one side and wait long enough, the other priest will eventually fall down in there with the first priest, and they will both be stuck inside.
 * Once you have the top two crystals, climb down to the bottom of the floor and carefully navigate the floating platforms until you collect the last crystal. Then make your way back to the top and escape through the open door.

Stage 34

 * At first glance, it appears as though everything you need for this stage is laid out in front of you and all you have to do is move some blocks over. You may soon come to realize that the stage requires a little more thought to complete.
 * Start by moving blocks 1 and 2. You an drop them down the gap to make a little bridge, or push block 1 over half of a block and stack block 2 on top to climb over.  Move the remaining three blocks in this row over so that you can climb on top of the platforms.  Climb up the vine, and drop each of the blocks down to the platform below as you proceed to the next vine on the left.
 * At block 3, you need to make a two block staircase and throw a third block over the side, because the platform over your head won't allow you to build your staircase too high.
 * When you reach blocks 4 and 5, watch out for the bat. Position block 5 so that you can climb up the vine.  Position one of the blocks on that higher platform directly beneath the door.  Climb back down and position block 4 on the small platform to its left.  Make a staircase to block 6 using block 5.
 * Pick up block 6 and drop it down to the left. Fall down after it, and pick it back up from the other side.  Climb over further to the left, and drop it on the block below block 7 so that you can begin building a staircase to the vine above.  Use block 7 to complete the staircase and climb up.
 * Use block 8 so that you can climb up and reach block 9. Position block 9 to the left so that you can climb up and reach the vine to the top.  Finally, climb up and grab the block to the left of the door.  Place it on top of the block you positioned beneath the door and you're out.

Stage 35

 * The solution to this stage requires a bit of patience. Wait beneath the Babelz and allow it to wander back and forth, dropping blocks on either side of the platform.
 * When the Babelz has created enough blocks to reach points 1 and 2, wait until the Babelz is returning from position 2, and use the block at position 1 to crush it. Then use block one to begin building a staircase towards the door.  The staircase should start two wall tiles to the right of the vine.
 * Stack block 2 on top of block 1. Then climb up and pluck block 3 out from under its staircase.  Allow the remaining blocks to fall and climb up the new staircase to reach the exit.

Stage 36

 * When you begin this stage, you can plan ahead by taking one of the blocks to your right from the stair case and turning it around. This will prevent the priests from falling over the edge and returning to the top.  You will end up trapping them on the bottom where they can't bother you.
 * Starting with block 1, start making a stair case to the platform above you. Two blocks should be all you need to climb up and continue.  Next, using the set of blocks around position 2, build a two block staircase back to the platform you just came from, and a three block staircase to the platform at position 3.
 * From position 3, use those three blocks to build a staircase that meets and bridges the staircase to your right. Grab some of the blocks that you find to the right to complete the right portion of the bridge so that you can reach the vine above.
 * Climb the vine to reach block 4. Carry it over to the small platform to the right of the vine so that you can use it to reach the blocks at position 5.  In order to build a staircase from 5 to 6, you first need to stack more blocks to the right in order to turn one around and build a staircase to the left.
 * Use two blocks to build a staircase up to block 6, and use the remaining blocks to continue to staircase from block 6 the block 7. Once the staircase is long enough, use the blocks at position 7 to build a staircase to the right and to the floor exit.
 * One last step is required: you need to rotate the blocks at the top from L shapes to J shapes so that you can stack them and reach the door above.

Stage 37

 * When you start this floor, you will probably have to contend with one or two of the priests who chase after you. Use one of the blocks at the top to kill them (don't try to cross over the vines with the blocks) and position them back where you found them.
 * When it's safe, climb up to block 1. You want to lift it from the staircase just long enough for one block to fall, and to catch the block above it.  Watch closely to get the right timing.  Now climb up the stairs to reach the vine.
 * You can collect the center crystal any time that you like. Make your way around the vines and over to block 2.  Turn the block around so that it faces left and hangs off the platform a little.  Now you can climb up to the crystal at location 3 and fall off the vine to collect it.  You will land harmless on block 2.
 * Return to block 4 and pluck it out, allowing the stairs to fall to the platform below. Reconfigure the blocks to make a staircase that reaches the crystal at location 5.  (Alternatively, you can use the one block that fell down earlier to catch you if you want to collect the crystal from above, just as you did with block 2.)
 * Finally, climb up to block 6, and pluck it from the staircase just long enough to let one block fall, and catch the second block, just as you did with block 1. Use block 7 to complete the staircase and reach the door.  (This step can be done from either side.)

Stage 38

 * Blocks 1 and 2 should actually help you by preventing any of the priests from reaching you and shouldn't be moved. Once the priests are safely sequestered on the bottom platforms, climb all the way up the left-most vine to the top of the floor.
 * Climb over block 3, pick it up, and place it to your right so that you can collect the crystal at location 4. Continue to the right and climb down the right-most vine to block 5.  Drop block 5 off the right edge of that platform and continue down the vine to collect it.  Position it at the left edge of that platform so that you can jump off and collect the crystal at location 5.
 * Finally, make your way below and back up along the left side to block 7. Lift it up and drop down beneath it to collect the final crystal.  Then simply make your way to the door.

Stage 39

 * Do yourself a tremendous favor by trapping the priests behind blocks 1 and 2. Pull block 1 away from the wall a tad, and pluck out the block beneath block 2 so that block 2 traps the priest along the left.  You will have a lot less to worry about now.
 * Next, use the cloud to ride up and arrive on the left side of block 3. Pick it up and carry it over to the step just in front of the vine.  You want to throw it so that it covers the right portion of the vine and does not fall down.  Next, climb up and lift block 4 and set it next to block 3 to create a bridge over the vine.
 * Use the remaining two blocks to the left of the bridge, to create a staircase off the right side of that platform to meet up with the other two blocks across the gap. Climb over the gap and climb up to block 5.
 * Position block 5 as a J that covers the left portion of the vine. Stack the remaining block on top of block 5 so that it is partially beneath the door.
 * Drop down and return to the cloud. Let it transport you to the highest platform possible, and walk to the right.  Climb over the pile off blocks and start dropping them one by one below the door until enough blocks are piled up that you can reach the door.

Stage 40

 * Useless blocks are piled up in a decorative fashion. It doesn't seem necessary to move any of them, but you may wish to after all if you're after the secret that the room holds.
