What do I do in the room with the four striped floor plates?
  • 1 of 10: Look around.
  • 2 of 10: Where else do you see stripes?
  • 3 of 10: How about on the wall above the lever?
  • 4 of 10: Read the wall from top to bottom.
  • 5 of 10: That gives you the numbers 3, 1, 2, and 4.
  • 6 of 10: Apply that to the striped floor plates.
  • 7 of 10: Tread on the three-stripe floor plate first, then the one-stripe one, then the two-stripe one, and finally the four-stripe one.
  • 8 of 10: The four-striper will start rising as soon as you step on it.
  • 9 of 10: Ride it up, then jump to the bridge that extends.
  • 10 of 10: NOTE: The lever is for resetting this puzzle in case you ever need to.
