This is where the player learns how to use his weapons.
VOICE OVER: How to use the bow & arrow. Example: “Press A to use the bow & arrow.â€
As you walk along, you come to a body of water. There is a canoe on the shore. You get into the canoe [and start floating]. The evil villager from the Flying Head legend rises out of the water. Two Baby Flying Heads are attached to him [with leather ropes. Or maybe hair.] They are attacking you [how?]. You shoot them with your bow.

Hi all,

You, a hunter, come upon a village on fire. A dying woman tells you that the Flying Head has attached this village, and he his headed for yours. [She tells you that she has fought him before, and along the way she will guide you to fight him again.] Look for the medicine lacrosse stick, you will need it to defeat the Flying Head. She warns you to stay on the path (alludes to giant). [Her dying words are:] “ Remember: Compassion is the ultimate weapon.â€
