1 of 9: You can't get it off by hand, and Mina certainly has no power tools with her.
2 of 9: This calls for brute force.
3 of 9: Fortunately, the wood is so rotten that a good hard knock would probably loosen it.
4 of 9: What can you find to give the piece of metal a sharp blow?
5 of 9: A rock ought to work.
6 of 9: Check around the entrance to the small cave.
7 of 9: Pick up the piece of sandstone rock that you can find there.
8 of 9: Use the rock on the large piece of metal to knock it off, and break off a piece of wood in the process.
