The drawbridge checklist
- Explore the confined opening region and complete its four cooperative challenges.
- Physically carry each reward back and place it in the four open receiver slots.
- Pick up the raw key released by the completed receiver.
- Use every key cutter in the opening region; several sit uphill and others are nearer the beach.
- Insert the finished key at the red drawbridge lock.
Why is the key not working?
A partly shaped key still looks important, but the lock will reject it. Return to the last cutter you used and look for the marker showing the next machine. Do not abandon the key and repeat the four challenges.
What should you do after crossing?
Head toward Red Tower and the Map Room. Unlocking the map early makes the rest of the island easier to understand.
