Simon the Sorcerer Hints
How can I get past the sleeping giant?
1 of 8: The giant isn't part of your problem -- it's that gap next to him that you need to worry about getting across.
2 of 8: The tree, as Simon says when you look at it, might help you.
3 of 8: But Simon isn't nearly strong enough to knock it over.
4 of 8: The giant has the strength, but you're going to have to wake him up before he can help you with this puzzle.
5 of 8: Find something loud and annoying that you might be able to use to wake him.
6 of 8: There's really only one object (in the game at least) that qualifies.
7 of 8: The sousaphone that the bard is playing will help here. (See another question for more help in how to get it.)
8 of 8: Then use the sousaphone near the giant. He'll knock over the tree for you.
