There were previously no instructions in this level: it was assumed that
you have played the first quest and so could figure out what to do.

But it's a hard level and it is not obvious that a thread will appear
once you solve the puzzle.

We have this nice musician character. Use him again. Write some
introductory dialogue, along with some extremely direct hints for each
round of the puzzle. (Figuring out the melody is not meant to be the
hard part: evading the guards is.) Redesign the first island slightly so
that the player & musician are not obscured by the dialogue balloon.

It's quite hard to get back to him once you solve the puzzle. Add a joke
to his dialogue once the puzzle is solved to reward the player who
manages to do so.

Add a run hint to the level. Again I assumed for this proof of concept
that the player knew how to do this, but it's kind to remind them!
