How to recognize the Rocket Burn Artifact room
If the room asks you to use a Rocket Launcher to move frozen material into a Water basin, you're in Rocket Burn.
You're in Rocket Burn if you see:
- ✓Water basin blocking the route
- ✓Frozen material above or beside the Water
- ✓Rocket Launcher is the relevant tool
- ✓Artifact beyond the Water section

What is the Rocket Burn puzzle goal?
- Rocket Launcher
- Release frozen material
- Water basin
- Frozen crossing
- Artifact

You are changing the environment, not shooting the Artifact itself.

Hint
The Artifact isn't the useful target. Look at the environment around the frozen section.
Strong hint
You need something above the Water to fall. Use a controlled Rocket shot on the supporting environment, then stop and watch what happens. One controlled shot teaches you more than several rapid shots.
This reveals the complete answer.
Where should you shoot?
Aim at the support or frozen section that can fall toward the Water. Use controlled shots and check where the material lands before firing again.

Check that enough frozen material actually reached the Water and created a continuous crossing route.

Stop firing, let everything settle, then work only with material still close enough to the Water to recover the path.
Spoiler questions
