1: Use the wheelbarrow as a platform

After finding the crying gnome, push the mushroom person's wheelbarrow farther in, take the stuffed toy above, and return. Revisit the closed door, cross tree vines, and descend to the cage.

2: Butcher's cleaver and shock wave

Stand still to let the cleaver aim, then run toward an open direction as it moves. After 3 evasions, throw the fallen lump at the eye. Next, jump as the platform is struck to avoid the shock wave, then throw again to advance.

3: From sliding minecart to vine

Pull the coal cart to the right edge and jump to the vine as it slides left. Push the upper crate onto the right mushroom, then return below so gnomes help open the door. Enter the trap path with all 8 gathered.

4: Turn widely around traps and hide in grass

Gnomes follow behind, so keeping only yourself off traps is insufficient. Turn widely and check the group followed after each trap.

Crouch in grass, then run to the next patch when the troll looks left. Check underwater traps as its gaze passes, then move right from the cage's shadow.

5: Rock the cage left/right to escape

In the offal-filled water, hurry onto stone platforms. The optional condition using a caged gnome as bait is separate from normal progression. After capture, move left/right inside the cage and strike its right edge to knock it off the shelf.

Throw stones from either side at the small enemies attacking Lemus. Clear them all so he carries you.
