Tips to Navigate Quickly:

  • When the top arrow tilts left, tap the right arrow a few times to adjust the rudder.
  • When the top arrow tilts right, tap the left arrow to correct it.
  • When the arrow points mostly straight ahead, use the arrows to center the rudder.

 

Sail control:

  • Raising the sails increases speed but makes steering more sensitive.
  • For fastest travel, keep the sails fully raised and focus on steady corrections.

Once the progress bar fills, you’ll successfully arrive at Fossil Island.
