Braid/World 6: Hesitance

Braid icon Level 3-1.png 6-1 The Pit?
This is the last world to introduce a new game mechanic. A sign will tell you to press. When doing so, Tim will place a ring where he stands. Pressing again when standing close to the already placed ring will make Tim pick it up. Tim can only place one ring at a time.

As you might have noticed already, the ring slows down time of objects inside its radius. The closer to the middle of the ring an object is, the slower it moves. There isn't anything else to do at this level except to learn to use the ring feature, so move out the door when you feel ready.

Let's try out our new-found ability in a real scenario. Like in 3-2 There and Back Again, a metal barrier is slowly descending to block off the path to the level's only puzzle piece. Tim cannot make it all the way up to the key and back to the gate before the barrier reaches the bottom under normal circumstances, but if the barrier would fall slower, he would. Place the ring right under the falling barrier and leg it for the key. Now there should be not problem getting the key and get back to the gate before it's too late. When you have the puzzle piece, move through the exit door.
