Once you’ve made your way through most of chapter 9 in The Plucky Squire, taken Pip through two Data Centers, rescued Violet and Thrash from their stint in solitary confinement, and got all of your stuff back, you’ll come across a new type of puzzle.
To get through this puzzle, you’ll need to learn how to transfer items from one page to another by pressing them together. Thankfully, you get a small tutorial for this on a previous page, but you’ll need to figure out precise placement in order to solve this puzzle.
To initially get to the puzzle, you’ll need to throw your sword at the middle button to raise and lower the platforms on either side of it. Then, fight your way to the end of the room in order to begin the main puzzle of this page.
The aim of this puzzle is to get the big block on to the hexagonal switch, which will open the yellow door. This is easier said than done, however, and you’ll need to be outside of the book to make it happen.
Use the portal to hop out of the book and then, with the Tilt Gauntlets, close the book from the left. When you open the book again, the block will now be on the opposite page, but nowhere near in the right position.
Remaining outside of the book, tilt the right page slightly to slide the block down until it stops, then you’ll need to move on to using the Bomb Stamp to place and detonate bombs in the following order:
- Use a bomb to press the button in the middle, lowering the lower platform
- Use a bomb in the top hole to push the block downwards
- Use a a bomb in the left hole to push it to the right
- Use another bomb to press the central button, locking the block in the necessary position.
Once you’ve done all of that, your book should look like this:
All that’s left to do now is use the Tilt Gauntlets to close the book from right to left, transferring the block onto the switch and opening the door. This will allow you to move onwards and eventually come face to face with evil Humgrump.
