I once climbed a mountain alongside a great and wise shaman. After much climbing, a thick fog settled across us. We continued climbing, then suddenly stopped. "Where are we?" I asked, frightened. "Guide Arrow," she whispered. And that's how I knew we were at the peak.

Rules: Shade some cells such that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and all unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected network containing no fully unshaded loops (including 2x2s). Arrow clues and the star clue must be unshaded. Arrows indicate the direction the shortest path of only unshaded cells from the arrow to the star travels from that cell.

Tip (not quite GAPP 101 level, but hopefully helpful): Two arrows cannot be connected along the unshaded cell network if neither is pointing towards the other.
