The Longest Journey Hints

How can I get to the path on the volcano?

  • 1 of 5: You have to fix the lunar cannon.
  • 2 of 5: OK, now you need to get over there.  But you can't just shoot yourself over there.  You're too big.
  • 3 of 5: You need to get a line from the tree to the path, so you can climb over there.
  • 4 of 5: You'll need a rope, and something that can make the line hang on to the other side, like a hook.
  • 5 of 5: Finally, just pull the lever and you'll reach the path.
