- To do this, pick up the nearby stake and insert it inside the switch.
Inserting the stake into the switch [Image Credit: eXputer} - Now pick up the nearby logs, and attach them behind the stake.

First Target down [Image Credit: eXputer} - Don’t worry if you fail your attempt; just reset the bat every time you fail.
- After a successful attempt, the next bullseye will reveal itself.
- To hit the second target, you’ll have to take care of the stone slab hanging in front of it.
- In order to take care of this problem, pick up the stake below the slab and attach it to the upper part of the wall.
Using the Ultrahand to insert the stake into the wall [Image Credit: eXputer} - Now use the Ultrahand to attach the stone slab to the stake, such that the trajectory of the ball and the target are clear. It should look something like this.
