Anachronox Hints
In the distance...
1 of 7: You have to cross a bridge and choose the correct place to step.
2 of 7: The plaque tells you where not to step.
3 of 7: Look for the giant that you can see.
4 of 7: There will be a giant symbol visible on the far side of the room as you're crossing the bridge.
5 of 7: Avoid stepping on this symbol, and of course, avoid the down arrows that indicate a hole in the bridge.
6 of 7: The "giant" symbol will change as you move across the bridge, so make sure you're avoiding the current "giant." Continue until you're safely across the bridge. (I think the "giant" also changes randomly, so I can't be any more specific than that.)
7 of 7: If you fall, you can climb back up some stairs to restart the puzzle.
