TricksterTrickster
Do a 180 with the roof in race mode.
With a quick series of nudges, hit the top of the roof of the falling house against a nearby corner of the brick. There are two ways to get such a corner of the brick: you can build one of the sides of the tower with «a ladder» outward, or you can petrify the brick and lay it flat on the very edge of the tower, so that the brick strongly protrudes to the side.
It’s easier to perform in trial #8, there is the only Petrify spell, and at half distance the brick increases. Applying the spell and setting the enlarged brick flat, complete the trial and try to complete the achievement.
