As you reach Boogie Beach in Chapter 7 ofThe Plucky Squire, you’re getting ever closer to tracking down Humgrump and facing him in an epic battle to win back the story of Jot and friends. However, you’ve still got a lot of puzzles to solve before then.
The first puzzle which might trip you up in Chapter 7 is given to you by a Starfish, whose husband finds himself buried deep in boogie sand. If you’ve been wandering around the pages of the book for a while, don’t worry, I’m here to help.
Where is Tumba in The Plucky Squire?
Tumba is described as a ‘round Flairmingo’ and the only clue you have to go on for his whereabouts is that he’s likely asleep under a tree. Now, up to this point in the chapter, we’ve seen a lot of trees, and there hasn’t been a chubby bird asleep under any of them.
If you’re anything like me, you neglected to really take in everything on the title page of the chapter and this, I’m sorry to report, was a mistake.
Tumba is indeed a very round Flairmingo, and he is very much asleep under a tree on the chapter’s title page. To get to him, you’ll need to hop out of the book and go back a few pages until you find the title page. Then, find the hidden portal on the page, which is very easy to spot once you reach the page. Hop in and speak to Tumba to wake him up.
Once you’ve woken Tumba up and explained the situation, he’ll happily follow you off the page. This will re-do the narration that you already experienced, replacing Thrash with Tumba. Continue back to where you fought off Humgrump’s Henchmen to save the Starfish couple, and Tumba will automatically release the Starfish Husband from the terrifying boogie sand in which he is held.
After this, Tumba will accompany you the rest of the way through chapter 7. verify to keep an eye out for spots marked with an X on the ground, as these are all places where Tumba can help you with his digging capabilities.
