How to Get Past the Chess Part in Haunted Mansion for the PS2

"Haunted Mansion" for the PlayStation 2, based on the Disney theme park attraction, tours the depths of a ghost-infested house as Zeke, the house's caretaker. To defeat the game, players need to trap ghosts, fight nasty creatures and solve puzzles. One such puzzle, the chess sets, require you to navigate the five chess boards while dodging, moving in time with multiple pieces and thinking ahead. Once successful, Zeke can flip on the light switch and capture all the ghosts in the room, letting you move on to the next level.

Instructions

- 1
  Navigate the boards while staying at the knights' back. If a knight faces your character, it will knock you back to the beginning of the puzzle. The knights on the first board are stationary, so keeping to their back or side is easy.
- 2
  Dodge the moving knights. On the second board, knights slide back and forth or rotate. The easiest route starts at the fourth spot from the left. Advance about halfway up the board, making sure not to stand next to the rotating knights when they face you. At the halfway mark, move to the far left side, advance four more blocks, then to the far right. Advance to the finish.
- 3
  Advance forward from the second square from the right. Move forward five places, step to the left three spots, down three, to the right three, and then up five. From this spot move all the way to the right side of the board and head to the finish. Like the previous board, the tricky part is avoiding the rotating or moving knights.
- 4
  Jump to the finish on the fourth board. After moving past the knights, mostly on the right side, towards the last quarter of the board, dodge to the left. There is no easy way to get to the platform, so you must jump.
- 5
  Dodge the knight on the fifth board by moving side to side, like a dance step. For the most part, advance down the middle of the board. Every other square dodge to the left, wait for the knight to turn away, and then advance again.
