Chubby Cherub/Walkthrough: Difference between revisions

Hell is far easier to reach, but difficult to get out of.  You can access hell anytime you fall through the bottom of the screen.  When you enter hell, you will be in a pitch black room except for the light streaming in through the exit, with two cats, a dog, and a guardian bulldog.  There will also be a lollipop which will be crucial for your escape.  One important aspect of hell is: you can never lose any lives.  You may die, and be forced to start over, but it will never cost you one of your chances.  There are a number of blocks that can be used as platforms that you can jump on in order to escape, but they're invisible, so you have to observe what the cats do in order to know where they are.  Once you get within range of the bulldog, you must shoot it with the GAU you collected from the lollipop.  This is most easily accomplished when you jump down from above the bulldog and fire as early as possible so that you kill the bulldog before it has a chance to bark.  Then jump into the exit.  When you escape, you will enter the stage approximately where you left with full energy.  The truth is, there are times when it can be advantageous to enter hell.  If you are running low on energy and about to die, it is better to drop into a gap in the floor and exit hell with a full power meter than to lose a life avoiding hell.  You can't lose any of your lives, so assuming you can find your way out, it's a free energy refill.
