All types of minion in water!
If you want to get all your minions over the water, first leave them behind and head over the water yourself, then place a marker for them to stay on in front of you, but not too close to the water. If they don't run through the water, don't worry!!! Repeat the process until they all go through and hey presto! You can access areas easily with all types of minion!
