1 To get rid of that chain on your ankle, break it (the chain not your ankle) with the stone.
1 To find a sponge, you need to travel through wolf country, find a lake and empty it, you'llsee how when you get there! Having emptied the lake where animals drink, you must hide thesponge in the sack, or a thirstywolf will steal it from you.
1 To cross the ravine you need to be carrying the pole before you vault or jump over it.
