- You need to pull the rope to remove the crates blocking the entrance. Then go inside the windmill and pull the lever to stop the windmill II.
- Once you activate the second windmill, go left until you find the spiral symbol on the ground.
- If you see a spiral pattern, it means that the windmill is already activated. Thus, you do not need to turn on the Windmill III.
- Finally, the Windmill IV will have a small hut symbol above the walls. There you can find a small cart.
- You need to crawl under the cart to find a ladder. Then head up the stairs and find a small space where Hugo can get inside.
- Once Hugo gets inside, he can open the main door. Pull the lever to deactivate or stop the windmill IV.
This will cause a shaky sound that all characters will notice.
