I've tried every combo I can think of, but obviously, I'm missing something. I can't think outside the box. Can someone take my hand and lead me the right way? Thank you so much. Here's where I've left off...

the platform is the real clue. get on down in the valley and ride up to the gate at the top of the volcano. go east until u can go straight south to the dwarfs garden, continue south through dwarfs garden, then east as soon as u can then north. that's the way i did it. u have to do it in a certain number of moves or u are to late.
