Move rocks: the closest one up, the next one down, pick up the stone ahead, move the bottom rock left, and the middle rock up. Descend the stairs. Head left, pick up rocks, walk over shallow water, head right, lift rocks, and go up the stairs. Exit via the stairs.
- 7Draining Spool Swamp: Go all the way down, then right. Use the Floodgate Key on the lock to drain Spool Swamp. Head left, up, and right to find Sokra, who mentions needing another Power of the Seasons. Jump down into the shallow water and go down three times.
