Can he dig it? Yes he can!

As you reach Boogie Beach in Chapter 7 of The Plucky Squire, you’re getting ever closer to tracking down Humgrump and facing him in an epic battle to win back 𝓡the story♊ of Jot and friends. However, you’ve still got a lot of puzzles to solve before then.

The first puzzle whiꦿch might t🅘rip 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.

T𝐆umba 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 negꦰlected 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, aꦰnd 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 pagꦿe. Hop in and speak to Tumba to wake him up.

Once you’ve woken Tumba up aꦬnd 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 c🌃hapter 7. Make sure to keep an eye out for spots marked with an X on the ground, as these are all places where Tumba can help you wiౠth his digging capabilities.
