Amadeus on a single Swing.

Swing

A big Swing (left) and a normal sized Swing (right).

Not to be confused with the Hanging Platform or the Rocker.

The Swing is an obstacle that is sometimes encountered in the game.


The Swing is an ornate platform sometimes with a flaming torch or a lantern attached. Unlike the Hanging Platform it has a platform with no pivots but instead has a rigid A-frame with pivots above. It can be encountered as a single Swing or as multiple Swings in a row. It can also be encountered as a number of platforms that have been joined together forming a big Swing.


  • All three heroes can jump the Swing with careful timing.
  • Thief: she can attach her Grapple Hook to the wooden platforms.
  • Wizard: he can place magical and non-magical objects on the Swings. He can also move them using his levitation Ability.

Important note: one of the most useful things the Wizard can do is to place a Plank across two or more Swings. This will stabilise them allowing the heroes to negotiate them safely.
