Cube Solve Hero is your page for Unboxings, Tutorials, Reviews, and Cube Comedy! My cube journey has gone one for a while now and though I love solving lots of puzzles, I’m working on my speed. What you’ll see in this channel is lots of different cubes as well as insights into my journey as I become a sub 10 speedcuber. Hopefully you’ll enjoy this video and will watch some more great videos of mine.

Steps and Algorithms:
Step 1: Solve the “White Star” – This step is 100% Intuitive
Step 2: Solve the White Corner Pieces: [ R , U , R’ , U’ ] until it’s in place
Step 3: Align the second layer edges
Algorithm Insert Edge to the Right: U, R, U’, R’, U’, L’, U, L
Algorithm Insert Edge to the Left: U’, L’, U, L, U, R, U’, R’
Step 4: Insert the second layer corners: [ R , U , R’ , U’ ] until it’s in place
Step 5: Solving the “Rabbit Ears” – Edge, Corner Edge between the 2nd and 3rd layer
Algorithm Insert Edge to the Right: U, R, U’, R’, U’, L’, U, L
Algorithm Insert Edge to the Left: U’, L’, U, L, U, R, U’, R’
Insert the third layer corners: [ R , U , R’ , U’ ] until it’s in place
Step 6: Solving the last layer: Orient all the edges (4 different cases)
1. One edge of the last layer star: (The edge facing the bottom right): F, R, U, R’, U’, F’
2. Three edges of the last layer star: (The 3 edges all in the upper left): F, R, U, R’, U’, R, U, R’, U’, F’
3. Three edges in an arrow shape of the last layer star: (arrow is pointing to the right): F, R, U, R’, U’, F’
4. All five edges of the last layer star: No Algorithm needed.
Step 7: Solving the last layer: Permuting all the edges (3 different cases)
1. Two Edges: (Solved edge in the front and to the upper right): R, U2, R’, U, R, U2, R’
2. Two Edges: (Solved edge in the front and to the lower left): R, U, R’, U, R, U2’, R’
3. One Edge is Permuted: (Permuted edge in the front): R, U2, R’, U, R, U2, R’ ((than solve the 2-edge case))
Step 8: Solving the last layer: Permuting all the Corners (3 different cases)
1: Two corners are in the correct spot: (Holding one corner in front and the other to the bottom right): L’, U, R, U’, L, U, R’, U’ (You may need to do this again)
2: : Two corners are in the correct spot: (Holding one corner in front and the other to the upper right): R, L’, U, R, U’, L, U, R’, U’, R’
3: Only one corner in the correct spot… Do one of the above algorithms with the corner facing down. Than solve for either case 1 or 2 (Whichever applies)
Step 9: Solving the last layer: Orienting all the Corners
Flip the megaminx over where the last layer is on the bottom.
Corner by corner perform this algorithm till each corner is Oriented correctly: (Holding the unsolved corner on the bottom): [R, U, R’, U’], D’

This is the best video ever about Megaminx. Finally, someone that knows how to teach without showing off (with really fast moves and understandable only for them without even displaying the algorithms) the ability to solve it. Finally, I understood the various passages, how and why. I feel now more confident that I can solve it. Now it's about practice. thanks a lot, Hero!!!

-
Just wanted to say this was the best tutorial I’ve come across. Very specific and easy to follow. Thank you!!
-
I finally did it now to memori- ya know I think this will look nice on my shelf.
-
So in reality, solving a Megaminx is quite similar to solving a 3x3?
-
At first, I thought it was impossible. But you helped me so much! Love Your Videos!!!!
-
bro thank you so much man! i never thought id be able to solve the megaminx but this video helped ALOT. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
-
Perfect tutorial dude you know the speed beginners like me need to go at and walking us through all the possibilities in each steps
-
I liked that you always mention the algorithms in your videos. Most cube solvers solve their cubes without any algorithms, but that's too difficult for a learner like me. So thanks for telling the algorithms.
-
Honestly, I had to watch 2 different videos and a written tutorial with images to properly understand some of the moves and setups, especially for the second layer, but your video was by far the most informative.
-
Tysm!! Finally completed it. Every other video I watched was so confusing but you made it so simple. Thank you x
-
This was a great help to me, been decades since I last solved, very easy to understand! One case you forgot last layer corners (Step 8) there is the possibility of zero solved faces, same as with 1 just do the perm and adjust when one of the known patterns come out.
-
I really can’t believe this just took a minute to learn
-
Finally I solved the Megaminx! I struggled a lot until I came to this fantastic video! Thank you for it!
-
Literally searched for a tutorial on megaminx for an hour and when I finally got to this I started making some progress on it. 👍
-
I'v spent days looking for a good video on how to solve a megaminx and finally this video helped me solve it. Great Video!
-
Thank you. Your the best Guy that Learn to other people how to solve the megaminx. (AND I’M NOT JOKING)
-
This was an amazing tutorial video. Thank you so much for posting this. So helpful and educational. Best video for the mega minx I have ever seen!

Had an aneurism trying to solve this🤣🤣
