Jack Keane Hints
How can I untie the Gordian knot on the ladder?
1 of 13: In order to untie the knot, you need to follow a rather convoluted chain of puzzles, each very short and none of which make a lot of sense.
2 of 13: First of all, you need to find a way to remove the dip net from the glass cabinet in this room.
3 of 13: In order to do so, you need to find a way to cut the glass.
4 of 13: Look for an item in your inventory to do the job.
5 of 13: They say that a diamond can cut glass perfectly.
6 of 13: Use the ring in your inventory to cut the glass and grab the dip net.
7 of 13: Now think what you could catch with the net.
8 of 13: It's something outside on the balcony.
9 of 13: Head out there and catch the pelican with the net.
10 of 13: It will spit out a rusty tin can.
11 of 13: A rusty tin can with a very sharp edge.
12 of 13: A sharp edge that is capable of untying even a Gordian knot. :)
