If you really want to figure out what's going on then you need to understand this. The Princess is not a Princess. The Princess is a bomb. The Princess is THE Bomb. Figure out how to read all of the hidden text in the epilogue and it will begin to make sense.

Bullet Magnet · #32 09-28-2008, 08:24 PM

Yes, I worked out that it was, in fact, all about the Manhattan Project from the bitches quote, but I haven't found any of the alternate text yet.

Finding the hidden messages can be very difficult. Basically, you want to open a red book and stand behind an object which causes singing. However, there are a few of these that require you to rewind time to different places to get them to work. It's a bit mind bending at first.

Well the problem is, I have toruble on a stage, and then when I get around to asking for help, I beat it.
I completly finnished the first two acts, but am missing one piece from all of the acts afterwards, with the exception of the last (not the last last, the one before the big latter), in which I am having trouble with in general.
I'm sorry I can't be clearer, but do you have any general advice on the last world?

Bullet Magnet · #35 10-01-2008, 09:31 PM

Ridiculous, split-second events are indeed expected of you, so persevere at that stupid method you've been thinking of. It's probably correct.

If you think those are hard you should try finding the secret stars. Just figuring out which levels they are in is difficult.

mudling · #37 10-02-2008, 04:56 PM

Haha, wow, I don't think I'm ever going to finnish the game alone and I'm not ready to look at walkthroughs yet, but thansk for the advice, well, that probably confirms that I should do what I'm trying, because there are some levels where I'm getting the gnack of it.

Ok, minior spoilers ahead, I'll try and spoiler tag this if I figure out how:

There's one world though, not sure which one, where you have your shadow, and you use you shadow to click a switch so you can jump on the hedgehog, now right by the exit door, there's a ledge with a puzzle peice, now I can get a hedgehog there, you need more than one to reach it and the cannon only lets one out at a time, I have a feeling you need to use the hedgehog's shadow but I can't manage to do it.
Then there's the level at the end of the third stage, where you use your footsteps to go back in time, I can get all of the pieces bar the first one, where there are two locked doors and a tunnel for the hedgehog in my way, I have a feeling I'm supposed to give the hedgehog the key, and then go back in time and collect it, but I can't put this thought into practise.
There are others I have trouble with, but these two are the freshest in my mind.

I'm going to give you the answer to this one.

Before the goomba gets on the bottom path you need to put Tim in a position where it will fall on his head, causing the goomba to bounce upwards. Now, rewind time and allow your "ghost" to perform the action you just did. As the goomba bounces off of your ghost's head you need to jump and bounce off of it's head as it reaches the highest point of it's bounce. This will get you to the puzzle piece.

mudling · #39 10-08-2008, 08:03 PM

Oh my God, I would have never thought of that... wow, talk about thinking outside of the square, thanks heaps.

*Edit*
Hate to ask again, but managed to get all of the pieces apart from one, in the last world, in the second last level, there's a platform where you can safetly rewind time without moving, above that, there is a switch which drops a ladder to reach a puzzle peice, but it is just out of reach.
I've tried climibing the ladder while it bounces to get the puzzle peice, even using the ring, but I can never get there and I'm not sure what else to do apart from place the ring somewhere else, I can get to the ladder before it lands, no problem, it's just climing and then getting onto the platform where the puzzle peice is, is the hard part.
Am I doing the right thing and am just a little too slow, or have I missed the point completly?

*Edit* Nevermind, beat it, altough I'm not even going to try those stars, altough a great game with some realy mind bending puzzles.

Is now on PC:

:

Steam $??.?? (has Steam achievements)
Greenhouse $14.95/£10.24GBP
Impulse $14.95/£10.22GBP (software must be installed first)
GamersGate $14.95/£13.45GBP(?!) (pretty lax on DRM -- they'll happily reset your install count, apparently)

Oh, my god! BRAID ON STEAM FOR ONLY $5!

Go now! Go now and buy it. You have no excuse now for not having played one of the most brilliant games in history.

OANST · #52 09-11-2009, 06:02 AM

Nate is right. Buy it. Also, be a man and get all of the secret stars.

Bullet Magnet · #53 09-11-2009, 06:14 AM

I can't believe that last achievement is not associated with the stars.

OANST · #54 09-11-2009, 06:23 AM

They reeeeeaaaally wanted them to be a secret.

Jordan · #55 09-12-2009, 04:30 AM

This is looking good, I'll buy this as soon as I have a new/upgraded PC. At the state this one is in, it definately won't run it.

***Nate*** · #56 09-12-2009, 05:35 AM

I suggest you buy it this weekend because it's cheap but don't download it until you get the new computer.

I don't think it's going to be that much of a computer chugger though. It may well work on your current one.

Jordan · #57 09-13-2009, 11:41 AM

I bought it. So far I quite like it, it's fun but very odd. Problem is that I can't get it to run in full screen yet...

OANST · #58 11-13-2009, 06:36 AM

Braid is now on PSN. I'm probably going to buy it again since I have so many DRM issues with it on the 360.
