The video demonstrates numerous failed attempts which are red herrings and do not solve the puzzle. These include hitting the character with a 100kg hammer, making him exercise, inflating his belly with a balloon, feeding him a sweet potato, making him drink olive oil, turning off the lights, telling him a girl asked him out, feeding him croton seeds, and scaring him with a ghost. While these actions cause a humorous reaction and slightly move the progress bar, they do not solve the puzzle.
The puzzle relies on misdirection. Focus on actions that directly impact the character's immediate need rather than elaborate solutions.
