Simon the Sorcerer 3D Hints

How do I use the rope to cross the gorge?

  • 1 of 10: The rope won't be available until near the end of Chapter 2.  Make sure you've solved all the other puzzles first.
  • 2 of 10: Stand Simon between the two pillars.
  • 3 of 10: Move Simon around (towards the right) until he looks down at the rope.
  • 4 of 10: Walk Simon out onto the rope (CTRL).
  • 5 of 10: Your job is to help Simon balance on the rope.
  • 6 of 10: Use the left and right arrow keys to help him stand up straight when he starts to lean over.
  • 7 of 10: Make sure you wait just a bit until you are certain he's tilting before pressing a key.  On occasion, he will move his head, which will make it appear that he is tilting when he isn't. 
  • 8 of 10: If Simon is facing you, the arrow keys will seem to be reversed. 
  • 9 of 10: When Simon leans to the left, you'll need to press the left arrow key to straighten him up.
  • 10 of 10: About halfway through, Simon will be facing away from you.  Now you'll need to press the right arrow key when he tilts to the left; and the left arrow key when he tilts to the right.
