    You can get hints to the solution by pressing back, selection challenges and press X with the challenge you want highlighted. The rune read ability from the grey bearded man with the can on a stick will give other clues to the solutions.


    Get In the House

    This area is to the left from the big statues after coming up from where you start to game you need to get to the other side of a strip of runes which raises to the house out of reach when you step on it.

    1. Accurate Pressure

    Use on of the hobos with the grey beard and the can on stick to read the runes on the strip of runs in front of the house.
    Unstack a doll on top of the three runes that glow.


    2. Smoking out the Bandits

    Stack into Cornelius Caboose in the corner before the house. Use his smoke out ability to flush out the raccoon from the cave behind him. Stack into the Racoon and go through the dark cave around the strip of runes.


    3. Fishy Swallow

    Use a doll with a bindle stick (a stick with a sack tied on the end) to bind bash the large doll by the empty fish cans. This knocks a fish "Gumps o' the Sea" out of him. Stack into Gumps an go under the seagull. Use Fish out of water to get the seagull to fly down. Stack into the sea gull and fly to nest. walk across the path and drop down on the other side of the rune strip.


    Open Excalican

    This area is to the right of the big statue in the hub area after coming up the stair from the start of the game. You need to open the can in the centre of this area.


    1. Gone Fishin'

    Go through the hole in to cans in the corner and stack into the seagull. Fly to Nest. Cross the bridge to what look like the cloth back on a hand mirror. Fly to nest again. Stack into the hold on the fish hook and lower the anchor.


    2. Lance a Lot

    Stack in one of the large dolls with the pallet on his head. Carry Small Load on a small doll. Put it down on the counter beside the suit of armor and stack into it. Drop down my the armor and stack into the armor. Use the joust ability to open the gate and again on the target by the can.


    3. The Can be Only One

    Use bucky Bedroll by the entrance to this area to put a bucket on the head of Tristam Tugboy whos walking about the area. Stack into Tristam and talk to the woman in red to become Sir Tristam Tugboy. Use Grip of the Mighty on the handle of the can.


    Get Past the Ghouls

    This is the area through the lower tunnle behind the big statue in the hub area. There are two areas of ghould to get through here, the idea is to get by the ghouls and stack into the holder by the gate to open it.

    I've observed that if you use different ways of getting by the ghouls only the second areas ways will be the one that counts. Use the same technique in both areas to be safe.

    1. Head Cheese

    Use Stilton Red-Sticks, the guy standing to the right in this area with the cheese on his hat. to toss cheese to repel the ghouls.

    2. Meat Heat

    Talk to the vendow at Wet Aged Steaks in the hub area. You can just walk by the ghouls.

    3. Jailed Bait

    Use Betty Bufflehead, the woman to the left with the cage on her head, to put a cage on a small doll. Use the guy with the pallet head to pick on the cage doll and drop it in with the Ghouls to distract them.

    4. The artful Dodger
    Just run by the ghouls without any special abilities.

    5. Ghoul Lash

    Use either the Suit of Armor's Joust or Deep Sea Hans' Fish Hook to break the Ghouls. Both of these dolls are in the excallican area. You either need to release the armor from it encloser by dropping a carried doll on the counter with a pallet head doll or fish Hans out of the sea with the boy with the fishing rod from the docks near the armor.


    6. Bake n Break

    First use Floyd Fire-Breather Fire Breath ability the unstack to Pliny Pan-Pounder and use his Pan Handle to break the Ghouls. After you finish the game both of these dolls area standing by the large statue.

    Open Excalican (3/3)
    This challenge is located to the right of the main hub area

    1) Gone Fishin'
    First stack into a child doll and walk to the back-left area and walk into the large can to find the seagull, stack into the seagull.
    Use the seagulls 'Fly To Nest' ability and walk to the red roof and use the 'Fly To Nest' ability again, stack into the hook machine's cradle switch and lower the hook to open the tin.

    2) Lanced A Lot
    Stack into one of the large dolls with pallets on their head and press cn_A in front of a child doll. With the child on your head walk over to the knight doll at the back of the area and press cn_A to drop the child into the side.
    Unstack all the way back to charlie and stack into the child you placed above the knight and drop down and stack into 'Suit Of Armour' and joust out of the pen.
    Now in Suit Of Armour joust into the tin to open it.

    Here's a video of all 3

    Get Past The Ghouls (6/6)
    This challenge is located from the middle entrance from the main hub, follow the tunnel to the graveyard.

    The method for this challenge is the same each time only you use different abilities to get past the ghouls:
    Walk to the top-left of the area and stack into the cradle switch to lift the first gate.
    Walk through the gate you just lifted and walk to the next area.
    Walk top-right of the area and stack into the cradle switch to lift the second and last gate, walk into the gate and the challenge is complete.
    Note some of the dolls are slow and clunky but if you are 'captured' you spawn back outside the graveyard and can walk back in and carry on from where you left off.

    1) Head Cheese
    To the right of the graveyard area is a large doll with a cheese hat called 'Stilton Red-Sticks', stack into him and head into the graveyard.
    Press cn_A to toss cheese to fend off the ghouls.

    2) Meat Head
    In the main hub area stack into a large doll (Old man with stick, man with bindle stick, etc) and walk up to the stall on the left called 'Mainly Meat Market' and press cn_X to talk and the man will place meat on your head.
    Walk back to the graveyard and you can just walk passed the ghouls as they are put off by the smell.

    3) Jailed Bait
    To the left of the graveyard area is a large doll with a cage on her head called 'Betty Bufflehead' stack into her and walk up to a child doll and press cn_A to trap them in a cage (I suggest trapping 2, one for each area)
    Unstack from Betty and stack into one of the large dolls with pallets on their head and press cn_A in front of one cages to pick them up.
    Walk into the graveyard and press cn_A to place the caged child as bait for the ghouls. Walk back and pick up the second caged child and walk to the first gate switch and then repeat the process for the second area.

    4) The Artful Dodger
    For this one you must run through the area as Charlie, so dont stack into any dolls before entering the graveyard with the ghouls

    5) Ghoul Lash
    For this solution you need to get passed the ghouls using either the 'Suit Of Armour' or 'Deep Sea Hans' who are both found in the area for challenge 2 'Open Excalican'
    I suggest using 'Deep Sea Hans', to get Hans you must use a fishing child doll and fish off the pier back-right of the area.
    Stack into 'Deep Sea Hans' and head back to the graveyard, press cn_A and Hans will to a spinning hook attack that will temporarily break the ghouls apart.

    6) Bake 'n' Break
    Note: Before you can do this solution you must have first finished the game to unlock 'Pliny Pan-Pounder' and 'Floyd Fire-Breather'.
    Floyd and Pliny will be in the main hub area standing in front of the large statue in the middle.
    When in the graveyard with the ghouls first use Floyd's 'Fire Breath' ability and immediately unstack and press cn_A to use Pliny's 'Pan Handle' abilty.
    Floyd will to a radial fire burst, use this to get through.
