Requesting a bit of help.
I'm at the Haunted Mansion, and I can't figure out how to get the mirror statue near the dual conveyor belts to stay in place on the left side of the map. I feel like I've completed all of the map so far besides this one little riddle -- I've got the Mirror Shield and I've got Pepelegoo following me around... I feel like the two major areas I can't access yet are the door behind the statue in the main hall, and the sewers next to the water pressure machine. I'm completely at a loss at what to do -- I feel like I need that statue to sit in place so it'll beam light into the main hall so I can finish the center light puzzle.
Damn I must've missed that news about the cancellation. Oh well, I'll still hold off until they figure it out.Hollow Knight is on another level and not even a fair comparison, especially at $15. I completed the story at 92% after 60 hours and that's not even touching the latest free DLC. The game is filled with variety and cool secrets. Not sure why you would have doubts given the reception it's had
I also thought the physical version was cancelled.

I need help in the Haunted Manor
I"m in a room with three floating tables. One angled down and a spiked ball. I keep thinking I got it, but the ball loses momentum on the hill of the last platform. I've been racking my brain. I don't want to try YT because it may spoil other sections.

I've also been stuck on this for the past half hour and to be honest I'm almost ready to put the game down. I absolutely adored it for the first 15 hours but now the dungeons are getting obnoxiously long and difficult. All these possession puzzles in particular are really starting to wear thin.
Can someone help me. I just beat theand gave the owl his missing item. Now I have a indicator that says go to the sanctuary but there is nothing to do there. The nun chick (goat) is just standing outside. When I talk to the owl dude he just says, "use that key to get through the waterfalls area"wizard
I don't even have a key......what the heck?
So, I sequence broke the Haunted Manor while trying to figure out the lights. I was able to finish the majority of the area without ever going into the chapel area or doing the puzzle in the main room in the intended way.
If you jump at just the right height off the pressure plate, it will stay locked. From there, you can use the limited fly of the dragon form to fly into the gap for the light switch and hit it with Pepe. This cuts out the entire set of puzzles to permanently turn the light beams on.
And with that, here's the platinum trophy:
I figured it out. It's wacky. I was able to figure the rest of the Haunted Manor as well. Felt good getting through that. Some crazy puzzles there.I've also been stuck on this for the past half hour and to be honest I'm almost ready to put the game down.

Seems odd to me you were able to 100% complete the game without exploring the whole map.
How do I the pig back? I got all my forms in the ultimate section, but the the pig. I need his sense of smell.
I wrapped up the rest of the area after doing the dining room events.
You were right. I restarted the game and she is in the sanctuary. Phew......I was about to quit this game forever. lolSomething seems glitched there. Once you give the fortune cookie to Hoots, he tells you to visit the Sanctuary (which should be unlocked from earlier). Sister Abigoat (the nun chick) should be inside and send you off on the quest to retrieve the 3 relics.
The key for the waterfalls area would have already been used to access the locked door in the Falls area which leads to Deadwood Graveyard/Haunted Manor.
That one is easy.Ahem, and while I'm asking for help, I'm not faring well with finding the ? chest next to the sewers label. Thank you in advance. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

501 deaths on you 2nd playthrough? God damn you should stop being so reckless. :PJust finished my 2nd 100% run on the Switch version and I loved it as much as my 1st playthrough!
Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful thoughts and impressions. It makes me very happy to hear that Monster Boy made you feel like a kid again because this is what we tried to achieve. To travel back and experience a game like we experienced them at young age again. ^_^

This game is just too damn good and deserves all the praise it's been getting, it's funny because I originally was waiting for this game to go on sale before getting it but thanks to the first few pages of this very thread, I got so hyped up about it and decided to take the plunge and boy am I glad I did, I double dipped on the Switch after completing my first playthrough on the PS4 version, paid FULL price for both with NO regrets!
Forget GOTY, this is personally my GAME OF THE GENERATION and I'm not fucking kidding!!
I have not played a single game this gen that has scratched an itch the way Monster Boy had done, no game in recent memory had made me felt like I was a kid again like this had, not even re-playing old retro games that I used to play/love has this effect on me.
I very rarely re-play games once I've completed them these days but I've done 2 100% playthrough back to back, a combined total playtime of 50+ hours and I still can't get enough of it, a reminder of my younger self playing and completing my fave games over and over without ever getting bored of them, I could do another playthrough right now but I think I'll leave that run for the PC version. 😂
I don't know what kind of black magic FDG Entertainment/Game Atelier used to craft this masterpiece but kudos to them and they absolutely deserves all the praise it gets, I'll be showing my support by getting the PC version on Day 1 when it eventually comes out. 👍

I concur. It's so charming.

That's why I liked the one I mentioned elsewhere in the Volcano. The respawning blob enemy drops a 20g bag every time when you have full health and you rack up the coins with the 2x coin bracelet on.Half of those deaths were from farming coins using the method I posted a few pages back LOL

The person in this video was aggressive in the way they were killing it causing them to get hit a few times. Also, there's one of those statues where throwing bombs into it to give you 3 hearts in the room directly before it so it ensures you'll get no hearts from the enemy if you top up your hearts first. They got >600g in a minute and they could've gotten more if they had full health.
Yeah I did that the first time I played the game but it takes so much more time and it's possible to take damage. The third time I 100% the game in 8h44m (13 deaths) I did it the same way as the video I posted.My favorite end game location for gold farming is:
Castle entrance with the penguins. The volcano sections are tedious and I enjoy destroying the penguins lol.
europe bros buying up all our copiesIs it me or does it seem like there are very few physical copies of Monster Boy around at physical stores like Gamestop and Walmart?
Any shop that you can still buy things from is a different colour than those you've already bought everything. Just look at your map and check them.you know, i'm trying to farm money and i have no idea where to get the prince bracelet? anyone have suggestions?
I know it's been said, but it deserves saying again, but this game has one of the most useful (and pretty) Metroid-style maps. It's so easy and fun to track completion on it. I know there's a time and place for maps that are more vague, but I absolutely love this one!Any shop that you can still buy things from is a different colour than those you've already bought everything.

The one thing I don't like is when you die too often on a boss fight and some helper starts dropping heart items and other nonsense. Why did they include this???

Well this is annoying! The final boss room gave the last 0.1%, so what am I missing?
