Braid/World 2: Time and Forgiveness: Difference between revisions

The lunette above the door will tell you that there are three '''[[../Getting Started#Puzzle pieces|puzzle pieces]]''' to collect in the level behind that door. I you do collect one, that number will tick down, so you can easily keep track of which levels you haven't cleared yet.

There is a hidden [[../Getting Started#Stars|star]] on this level. You can read more about how to obtain it in the [[../Stars#2-2 The Cloud Bridge|Stars]] section of this guide.}}

Almost all levels in ''Braid'' can be traversed simply by going right until you reach the exit [[../Getting Started#Doors|door]], but that makes for a very short and uninteresting game. The beauty of the levels lie in their obstacles. "Braid is about the journey, not the destination," to quote the official walkthrough. Hence, almost all of this walkthrough will explain how to get all puzzle pieces and other secrets of the game, not how to get through to the level's exit.

{{im|Braid icon Level 2-2.png|x16px}} '''2-2 The Cloud Bridge''' will introduce you to new obstacles, and the first one you will notice right away is the locked '''[[../Getting Started#Gates and keys|gate]]'''. Luckily though, the '''key''' isn't so far away. Jump over the spikes and get it, then climb the ladder and open the gate. After the gate you will encounter floating clouds being shot out of a cannon. Simply jump onto one of them and glide on forward to {{im|Braid Puzzle-2-2-3.png|x16px}}'''Puzzle Piece 2-2-3'''.

[[File:Braid World 2-2 puzzle 2.jpg|thumb|right|Clouds going against the grain require jumping.]]There will then be another cannon—with a puzzle piece on it—shooting clouds in the opposite direction. Jump on the clouds to get to the other side and get {{im|Braid Puzzle-2-2-2.png|x16px}}'''Puzzle Piece 2-2-2'''. Going on, there is a giant '''canvas''' where all your puzzle pieces can be placed together to form a '''[[../Getting Started#Paintings|painting]]'''. Further right you'll see an above platform with a puzzle piece on it, as well as another piece hovering right above the exit door. Sadly both pieces are unattainable at the moment and the exit to [[../World 2: Time and Forgiveness#2-3 Hunt!|World 2-3]] waits for you.

At this stage you'll find yourself just out of reach of another puzzle piece. Ignore it for a bit and continue further to reach a ladder with a '''lever''' at the top of it. Using the lever will operate a nearby '''platform'''. You can use this platform to guide a '''monstar''' from the nearby cannon over to the knoll just beside the fire pit below. Take note of where the monstar has his arc as he's flying through the air. Pull the lever and let the platform get in the way of that arc. You can make the platform linger at one place by rapidly flipping the lever. As soon as the monstar touches the platform let it ride back toward Tim. Just before reaching the rock Tim is standing on, the monstar should fall down to the area below. Follow it down via the ladder and run along to the puzzle piece. Jump on the monstar to bounce up to {{im|Braid Puzzle-2-4-3.png|x16px}}'''Puzzle Piece 2-4-3'''.
