Uru: The Path of the Shell Hints
There's still a light that's not me! Where's the Quab?
1 of 8: Search the island carefully, looking for nooks and crannies that could hide a Quab. Use the first and third-person views interchangeably to get a different perspective.
2 of 8: Searched the island and there's still a Quab? It's probably the one hiding on the small tower island off to the side of the main island.
3 of 8: In Uru: The Path of the Shell, your avatar gains a new ability: the ability to swim.
4 of 8: If you simply jump off the island and try to swim to the tower island, however, the currents will push you back into the main island's lake. You have to compensate for the current.
5 of 8: Search the main island for another angle from which you can make an attempt to swim to the tower island.
6 of 8: Behind the small hill that holds the Shell Cloth, there are two rocks sticking out of the water. These will help you get further out.
7 of 8: Jump to the outer rock and dive into the water. Move in running mode (it will make you swim faster) towards the tower island, using both your momentum and the movement of the current so that you end up on the island's shore at the foot of the stairway.
8 of 8: If you don't make it, try, try again. It may take a little practice to get it right.
