Chapter 5

Part 2

In the second screen, step off the purple tiles and onto the cyan tiles to unlock rotating handles on the left ledge, where the crow is. Rotate the ledge 180 degrees so that the crow is walking upside down and the way forward is clear for you. Head on to the pink button.

Now go past the purple ledge again, to the first flight of stairs you took. Wait for the crow to be on the short purple ledge (near the door where you came in) and then twist the handles 180 degrees to put this crow away.

You now have a long flight of stairs going up. Go up these stairs and the crow on the top level will start its patrol. Once he’s on the two tiles nearest to the stairway, quickly turn the handles several times until the purple tiles go up and a pair of purple tiles appear from below.

Wait for the crow to get on the lower purple tiles, and then rotate the handle again to restore the upper purple tiles to the path they were on. This clears the way for you, so go through the door.

In the next area, avoid the next two crows to enter the door up the ladder.
