How do I get up all the ropes in the northern room?
  • 1 of 6: First, locate a rope that is close enough to water level to jump onto and climb.
  • 2 of 6: At the top of the rope, you can get up onto the board it's on (if not, try climbing it while facing another way), but watch out for the moving board that tries to push you off.
  • 3 of 6: From there, jump onto the nearest rope that leads farther up and keep going.
  • 4 of 6: Your goal is to get onto the rope that's near the NW corner of the room and jump from it onto the ledge that's near the ceiling.
  • 5 of 6: Your reward for all this is a treasure chest in a small alcove.
  • 6 of 6: To get back down, carefully fall so that you hit the water and not any of the boards along the way.
