| 8 |  From the toy soldier's new spot, you can go down the path and follow the torches to find a group of friends and a cutscene! |
| 9 |  Go back to the upper level and operate the telescope in the corner of the room to retrieve the block it's using. You can then put this on the second unoccupied telescope. |
