Talk to Minibeard

Speak to the mini wizard and he’ll drop you a hint to fill the moat with water.

Minibeard offers a hint to fill the moat with water to progress in the game, The Plucky Squire.

Fill the moat

On the right page, strike the word ‘full’ in the sentence “These ruins were just full of bugs!”. Pick up the word, exit the left page at the portal and carry it to the portal on the right page. Swap the word ‘drained’ with ‘full’ in the sentence “The moat was completely drained of water”.

The moat surrounding the ruins is completely filled with water, part of a puzzle in The Plucky Squire.

Activate the switch

Cross the water-filled moat and activate the switch to open a door in the moat.

Drain the moat

Swap the word ‘full’ with ‘drained’ this time. Then, make your way into the opening of the moat activated by the switch. Find a small pink creature and a sentence before it that reads, “Jot peered into the open grate.” 

After draining the moat, the character finds a way to unlock the rusty gate in The Plucky Squire.

Open the rusty gate

Strike the word ‘open’ with your sword and pick it up. Carry it to the gate and swap the word ‘closed’ with ‘open’ in the sentence, “The rusty gate was closed”. The gate will open, leading you to the tiny frog.

The rusty gate is finally opened, allowing the character to continue exploring in The Plucky Squire.

Go to the tiny frog

Approach the tiny frog to see a sentence that reads, “The tiny frog observed the bug.” Strike the word ‘tiny’, pick it up and carry it to the middle of the page, where the huge bug sits.

Make the huge bug tiny

Swap the word ‘huge’ with ‘tiny’ in the sentence, “A huge bug sat in the middle of the path”. The huge bug becomes tiny, scurries away and opens up the path.
