I WANNA BE THE GUY: THE MOVIE: THE GAME: THE PICTURE BOOK: THE HATEFUL MOON
As hinted at by the title of this update, now we will be up against the infinite horror that is the Moon.
Behold the face of the enemy!
Sure the Moon looks innocent enough, but I tell you now, it is filled with pure evil and plotting against us!
To continue, we leap off. I Wanna Be The Guy is all about leaps of faith.
AAAAAAA! I'm on fire! Damn you Moon! You tricked me!
Perhaps jumping from low orbit was a bad idea?
OR MAYBE WE JUST WEREN'T JUMPING HARD ENOUGH!
Well, at least it's an impressive way to die.
Wait, we might have a chance!
I'M OK!
Ah water, quencher of flame and slightly softer thing to hit than the ground. Interesting enough, you won't drown if you stay in the water.
I know! I am as shocked as you are.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
As you may have noticed, there is an exit to the left in this room. It actually takes you back to the starting room - there's a tunnel on the right similar to the one for the secret path.
I've never bothered using it, seeing it's easier to go straight through Tyson and then come down here.
So, to the right we go.
Assuming you can dodge
spikes that shoot Delicious Fruit at you.
Wow, it's gone through the Kid like a cannonball...
Fortunately, like most Delicious Fruits, this one can be tricked.
Of course, once you trigger it and land on the safe bit of platform after the spike, lightning strikes to punish you.
What a mess...
Sniff, poor The Kid... he never even had a chance.
Thankfully, there's no more hidden death traps after this, simply Delicious Fruit waiting for you in plain sight.
This room, looks like we just have a few Delicious Fruits to dodge and then we climb up to the top right.
Dodge those fruit! Dodge!
Yes, that was the Moon.
Didn't I tell you it was my arch nemesis? Sure you laughed then, but who's laughing now?!
Probably the Moon...
As you can see in this diagram, the Moon has an extremely unusual orbit that causes it to periodically fall out of the sky and crush protagonists to death.
Unfortunately, we don't have four friendly giants to catch it for us so we can go to the tree inside the Moon annd fight an evil mask.
Having satisfied its thirst for the Kid's blood, the Moon then burrows into the ground, re-emerges somewhere in Nevada and returns to its place in the heavens.
So let's try again with a little more caution, eh?
Dodged the Moon, oh yeah.
Wait, what is it doing?!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
We've managed to dodge the rampaging Moon
again.
In your face, Moon!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Luckily, the Moon can't get us in here and eventually it gives up and goes away...
For now.
Let's get out of here before it comes back.
Zelda, Zelda, OOOH! OOOH!
Let's take a look up in that little hole first.
Save point, awesome!
And a free sword!
Words to live by.
Anyway, like all enemies who walk over spike pits that are otherwise impossible to cross for us, we can just sit on Link's funny little hood and ride him across.
It gets to him.
The trick is to lure Link into attacking early. He'll always attack at a certain point if you're within reach, so you have to jump over the spike with a single jump, drop enough to make him attack and then use your second jump immediately to avoid STABBITY DOOM.
Then you can ride him to the end.
Link, you're an
asshole.
And we're safely to the other side! I'm sure you can figure out how.
The next section is a different theme again. It has quite a bit of stuff we haven't seen before. Now, there could be a delay until I update again, because this area also contains perhaps the most frustrating and difficult section in the entire game.
If you've played I Wanna Be The Guy, I'm sure you know what I'm referring to.
Is there going to be a big delay until the next update?
