a bit more information would help. the most resent things you've done/tired/been stuck at.

but guessing based on your list and what you did say; I'd assume you have made it through the garden maze/past the cat. if you've gotten into at least the entry way of that castle but can't get past the guard, then maybe try giving him something that will distract him...
