It is not stupid... its called "gameplay" find your own way to beat the puzzle and you will be awarded.
Stop smashing buttons and start thinking for i while ok? take a look at the path where you can go and things what you can do there, then think at least 10 seconds and you will get your answer what to do.
Forget about the "easy way" to play games with arrows and hints that always lead you, welcome to the real world
