Braid/World 5: Time and Decision: Difference between revisions

{{Spoiler|There's a star in this level.}}

In this level you'll find three puzzle pieces, and two of them should be visible as soon as you enter the level. The one closest to Tim is the easiest to get, so let's begin with that one. Get moving and climb up the mishmash of ladders and make your way to the cannon just above the door you entered through. Its label tells you it shoots Monstars, but the current Monstar has already been expelled from it; it's the one wandering below. Jump down on it and kill it. You won't be able to climb back up before a new one is fired off, so rewind time to get back up. The Monstar will start to live again, but Tim's doppelganger will jump down and kill it. Quickly jump on the new one coming out of the cannon to bounce up to the above platform and reach the first piece.

The second puzzle piece you can probably already see in the upper right corner of the screen. The process of getting it is similar to the last piece's. Jump over to the lever and face the same opening you jumped down earlier, when you killed the Monstar. Wait until the Monstar is in a good position beneath the opening and go jump down it, landing on the Monstar to kill it. Rewind time to get back to the lever and activate it. Your shadow friend will run along and dispose of the Monstar while a platform will move from the pulled lever. A new Monstar will pop out when the old one dies, and hopefully he'll be able to cross the entire platform bridge now. Remember, he's purple-glowing, so he can walk on the shadow bridge too. Wait until he reaches the spot below the puzzle piece, then jump on him to bounce up to the ladder taking you to the second piece.

The platform operated by the lever should already be in its correct position to guide Tim to the next piece now. It' should be on the left side. Since you killed the Monstar getting the second piece, a new one will spawn. With the platform on the left side, he will take a different path this time. He will walk the bed of cushions at the bottom part of the level and make his way toward the exit door under the third puzzle piece. You should do the same, but take the upper path instead. When the Monstar gets to the area with the exit door, you may try jumping on him, but the boost Tim'll get just won't be enough. Rewind time to get back up to the upper path again, but this time jump down ''before'' the Monstar gets all the way over here. Position Tim underneath the small shelf and wait for the Monstar's arrival. Make him land on Tim and ''the Monstar'' will get a small boost. Now you can rewind time to get back up on the upper ledge, your shadow figure will mimic the actions you just did. Jump down and try to land on the Monstar when he reaches the apex of his bounce, then you'll get just enough of a bounce yourself to be able to reach the last piece of the level. Jump down and exit through the door.
