Puzzle 1. Stepping stone maze: Take the path second from the left and it will take you to the other side of the river.

Puzzle 2. Damaged Bridge: The holes are in these positions:


                                              ==+===+==+==  
                                              ====+====+== 

when you reach the double hole, stop before it and press the action key to jump over the holes. 

Puzzle 3. Guards: Easy enough. Stop just outside each gaurd's vision range and then observe their pattern. once you have worked it out, sneak past!

Puzzle 4. Slide Puzzle: Easily my greatest rm2k achievment! This one is hard! The method i use is to start in the top left hand corner, see the first piece i need and move it there. next i move the three pieces surrounding it into place, and so on until i have reached the opposite corner.

Puzzle 5. Arrows!: This is a lot easier than it looks. It's the same as the guards. Wait until you see a pattern, then exploit it. If you take a risk and go through the second guantlet of arrows, you will be rewarded very well!

All up the game should take just under an hour to complete if you do all the puzzles. If you skip all of them it should only take around 40 minutes.
