"I think a bow is fine. It's quieter and you can pick up arrows again later."

"Yeah."

"What exactly did you figure out about the statues, Nemo?"

"How they charge up! Looks like it takes years, unfortunately."

"So what do we do now?"

"Try shooting arrows at things we couldn't reach before? Maybe that finishes a puzzle."

"Can I try?"

"Sure, let me show you how though... Hold the arrow like this so it rests against the notch, and then pull. Don't aim where the arrow's going, aim right in front of you, it'll wobble around and go mostly straight."

Success! 

"Nice job. Let's go solve some silly puzzles and find that statue's 'brothers'."

"Family reunion!"

The bow can be used to reveal two statues that don't attack them. Nemo manages to command them to hop around.

Once everything is in place, the wall with the poem shakes and retracts to reveal a staircase.

"Up the stairs, down the stairs..." sings Zeke.

More lasers. More silly puzzles. More enemies to fight.

Eventually they reach the final stairway to the boss's lair.

It's really high up. They can see half the Great Sea from here.

"Cooool."

"Pretty."

"Let's sleep just inside and fight whatever monster is waiting for us in this puzzle-course in the morning. Getting pretty late."

"What if the monster sneaks up on us?"

"We could go aaaall the way back down to Red Lions, then aaaall the way back up tomorrow instead. Might be for the best, since we didn't exactly haul blankets up here."

"Even wood is softer than stone."

"...I don't like the idea of going down and back up again, seems like a waste of time. But you guys are right. We can't sleep here."

"Maybe we should carry you down."

"Yep, that's what it'll have to be."

She scoops up Nemo. "Shall we head down?"

"Hey, she said she wanted to be carried!"

"Okay, okay." She sets him down.
