How in the world do you get the shield that's on a platform in the middle of the swimming pool that has a gate around it's perimeter. You have to put out the wall torches all the way around the outside of the swimming pool. In the middle of the pool there is a fountain and the shield. PLEASE HELP!

you have to obtain the herbivicus spell first. after that all that you have to do is cast the spell and rotate the lest analog stick. when you reach the middle you should be able to get to it.
