Low G Man: The Low Gravity Man/Chapter 3

3.1 - Cobalt Mines
The most convoluted level in the game. Go right, killing the enemies who shoot you hanging from the ceiling. A fully upgraded spear will come in handy. Get off and go right. Here you can choose between two routes. If you have collected enough AGMs, you can climb into the tunnel above you, where you can free a hostage. Enemies won't bother you. However, if your jumping ability is limited, you will need to take the lower path, where you will encounter some flying enemies that shoot waves. They are easy to dispose of and you can finally start collecting the ammunition of the most powerful special weapon. But be careful not to get hit, or you will lose a whole notch of life energy. Further on, the two paths rejoin.

You will now have to overcome a fairly treacherous area, with cannons firing vertically hanging from the ceiling and others firing horizontally, on the ground. Maybe use the freeze gun to proceed more easily. Climb up, destroying the small green cannons and you can free another hostage. Go between the two vertical cannons and go down. You will find more green cannons and an enemy that shoots waves: take them all out. Climb up again, to free another hostage. Proceed to the right and go down. The path to the left is a dead end, so go right. You will encounter some enemies throwing bombs, but taking them out shouldn't be a problem. You will notice that you will not be able to climb into the first tunnel above you that you encounter, even if you have your jumping ability fully upgraded. Proceed until you meet an enemy driving a spider robot, immediately after the next tunnel, with a green platform.

At this point, you will have the opportunity to access a bonus area where you can get many upgrades, but if you enter it, you will then have to restart the level from the beginning. To you the choice. If you want to reach the bonus area, after obtaining the spider robot, go back to the vertical tunnel where you could not go up. Jump, press DOWN and jump again. Thanks to the spider, you will make a very high jump and you can take the narrow passage on the right. Then reach the door on the left to access the bonus area.

Anyway, when you reach the tunnel with the green platform, use the platform to go up to the upper level. From here on, the path is easy. After freeing another hostage, continue to the right, taking out the bombing enemies. Go down and you will encounter some enemies throwing boomerangs and some other cannons. Nothing that can get you in trouble. Finally, go up the last time and go down to the right, to finally reach the boss.

BOSS FIGHT - Eggriphobe This boss is easy to defeat. The only complication is the three turrets in the room, which shoot powerful waves. First, you will need to eliminate at least the one at the bottom right. Freeze it with the gun, then climb onto it and stab it with the spear. Eliminating the other two is not strictly necessary and you will necessarily have to use a special weapon. If you have boomerangs on level 3, they will be fine: go to the middle of the room and, between one shot and the other of the upper turrets, jump and attack them both with the boomerangs. With a few hits you will eliminate them and thus you can attack the boss more safely. In fact, once the turrets have been destroyed, it will no longer be able to harm you, since it only shoots upwards. Freeze it with the gun, jump on it to stab it with the spear and repeat the process. In short, you will defeat it. If you haven't destroyed the two turrets at the top, you will have to be careful to jump at the right time, so as not to be hit by the waves, but even then, you shouldn't have too much trouble.

3.2 - Magma Mountains
Immediately after the start, you will have the opportunity to get hold of a walker robot. Take the path that goes up and at the end take a long jump to the right to overcome a precipice. Go up the steps and a little further on you will meet another walker. Switch from one to the other to get a full tank of fuel. Some slow and weak enemies will come your way, you can easily take them out with a barrage of bullets. You will come to an area identical to the one you just passed through. Cross the precipice and go up the steps. Here you will find turrets. Some of them shoot fireballs, others waves. Take them out with the robot until it runs out of fuel, then continue on foot. The turrets are very coriaceous; destroying them with the spear without freezing them is difficult, so it is best to use the paralyzing gun first. When you reach the next hill, this time take the path that goes down. You will have the opportunity to free two hostages and earn upgrades.

Go up and continue to the right. Carefully take out the enemies that shoot waves. After crossing another precipice, be careful: rocks will fall from above. Advance carefully and try to avoid them. You will then have to take a narrow passage, where you will also meet an enemy who throws bombs and cross another precipice. Other turrets await you on the other side. Then take the path that goes down to free two more hostages. Go up, go through the narrow corridor and take the path that goes down again to free two more hostages. Climb up and enter the hole on the right to face the boss.

BOSS FIGHT - Arachnoid This battle is very easy. Hit the eggshell with the spear to release the boss, who will quickly shoot up, then slowly descend. Take advantage of this to quickly eliminate the turrets on the sides. Freeze them and hit them with a special weapon. The level 3 boomerangs are good: you can position yourself exactly between the two turrets and shoot to hit them both. With a few strokes you will eliminate them. Once the turrets are cleared, defeating the boss is a joke. It will be enough to hit with the spear upwards when it approaches. If you stay slightly to the side, the fireballs that the boss shoots will not be able to hit you. Keep hitting the boss until it dies.

3.3 - The Cliffs
A vertical level, from bottom to top, where you have to be careful not to fall, wasting time. It is advisable not to jump too high, or you will risk hitting the enemies not yet visible, which are above. At the beginning of the climb you will encounter some flying enemies, cannons walking on the platforms firing horizontally and enemies hanging from the ceiling like the ones you have already encountered. Nothing to worry about, just watch out for their bullets and don't go up too fast. If it suits you, freeze them. Then enemies shooting fireballs will appear, take them out in the usual way. Finally, you will encounter three enemies driving a hover. You should get hold of the top one, to have more fuel. Then fly upwards.

At this point, if you want, you can reach a secret level, which will allow you to go directly to the next chapter (see the appropriate section). If you are not interested, go up, paying attention to some falling rocks and you will soon pass by a room where the boss is located. Avoid the bullets it fires and fly on the roof of the room.

BOSS FIGHT - Octopite To enter the small gap and face the boss directly you will be forced to abandon the hover. However, if you position yourself correctly, you can also attack the boss with the hover weapons; simply position yourself so that the bombs fall through the opening and then end up on the boss. If you still have a good supply of fuel, you can even take out the boss this way, without any direct confrontation. If instead you have to face the boss directly, enter the room and quickly destroy the turret in the lower left (eliminating the one in the upper right is practically useless). Then, focus on the boss. Avoid its bullets and hit it from below with your spear. Avoiding the boss's attacks is not that easy, but fortunately a few spear shots will be enough to defeat it, especially if you have already damaged it with the bombs.

3.4 - Super Tank
A short but very hard level. First, jump onto the tracks and take out the round cannon by hitting down with the spear. Then climb the platforms, taking care not to be hit by the extending spike balls, which you cannot destroy or neutralize in any way. There are two more cannons to take out, one in the upper right and one just to the left of the cockpit. When you have destroyed them, climb to the top of the tank and enter the cockpit to face the boss.

BOSS FIGHT This time the battle will be challenging even if you have already destroyed all secondary weapons. The boss walks back and forth shooting fireballs in quick succession. Avoiding its attacks is not easy, given the limited space in the cockpit. The basic strategy to defeat it is to freeze it quickly, then hit it with the spear. You will have to try to freeze it where there is more space, so that you can jump on it. If the boss is frozen where the ceiling is low, you can still stand in front of it and hit with the spear down, but this way the damage will be minimal. Alternatively, you can go to the platform in front of the cockpit and shoot to the right, trying to freeze it from there. You can also use special weapons if you want, which will help you greatly. Or if you have a fully powered spear you can climb up to the cockpit roof and stab down. You can choose the strategy that suits you best, but you will have to move with precision in any case to avoid the fireballs fired by the boss. Keep hitting it until it dies.
