Chapter: The Cursed Grounds

Description
A journey across a whimsical yet nonsensical land...

Somewhere on this strange planet there is a cursed place that clearly shouldn't exist, as if it didn't belong there, an illusion. An unreachable and elusive place, of which none of the inhabitants remembers having seen or heard of it. Apparently, the only one who found out about this place is a spaceship capable of detecting the timepieces that fell there. These belong to only one person, Hat Kid, you could say that it was made on purpose, as if someone was inviting her...


Info

- The mod uses custom scripts and assets from my other mod Barkirion's Level Stuff. You need to download it too. (If you don't, you may be unable to progress and some things won't load)
- This is a chapter mod where every time you finish an act the game will annoy you with the rating system and where you will have to exit to spaceship to select another act.
- The difficulty is meant to be hard, it may get harder by each level.
- It currently has (6/??) acts and (2/??) rifts.


Required items (In game)

- Sprint Hat (For running. Run and keep running, don't stop and don't look back)
- Brewing Hat (To break things and making distance attacks for 2 dmg points)
- Ice Hat (To activate ice panels and block damage up to 2 hits)
- Dweller's Mask (To see and touch the occult)
- Time Stop Hat (To stop things on their tracks)
- Hookshot Badge (To swing around hooks)
- No Bonk Badge (To make precise jumps, you don't want to get bonked into oblivion)


Recommendations

- Disable camera assist.
- Disable depth of field if you think it gets in your way. I didn't had it in mind when making the mod.
- If you are using a controller, you must disable "Top-view camera" to be able to look up and down with the camera.
- Mod levels always take some time to load, be patient. If a level is loading and you start to press buttons like crazy the game may crash.


Music used

- Burn! Bobonga! from Chrono Trigger.
- Agustria Army (pirates) from Fire Emblem Seisen no Keifu.
- Prison Island from Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition

It's called as annoying and badly designed not hard and challenging

Act 1 is repulsive at the beginning because of bunch of secrets that i must find to progress(first button, 8th panel)

Imagine having secret contents are mandatory to progress story at 'first act'

And quiz part is just worse than other area of act 1


Act 2 is kinda better than others but its still disgusting

Especially after i got 5 tickets there are too many traps are waiting for me without health or what so ever


Act 3 is the worst one
What kind of boss fight take 15 min to beat when i play it properly?

Why there are so many waves in a single boss fight?


Act 4 idk about this one become i gave up because of..


Second blue rift
Another ridiculously healthy boss fight WHICH blocks me enter blue rift

I just gave up at this point because i don't want to die for a game

Maybe i will try the rest of this mod tomorrow with bunch of cheat mods.

to clarify the reasoning i was stuck is because i didn't know there is a switch in the grayscale room

oh ok thx so much for that :HatHealth:

Originally the level only had one checkpoint, the one after the battle at the beginning, later added more checkpoints so when you die you don't have to do it all over again.

The area with the ice platform is the last part of the level, it's easy to die in that part, as I said before there was no additional checkpoints and you had to start collecting everything from the beginning.

I don't know how far you had advanced in the level but if you keep going down where the owl is, you will find some spiral platforms and a cannon that takes you to the other areas.

I think the switch that is under the box is easy to skip, I put it only for the last checkpoint which makes the level more linear. Before the ice platform was activated with one of the pair of switches.

Maybe later I'll redesign the level.

There should be 4 switches to activate that ice platform.

- A pair of switches are together in the area with the ropes.
- There is that big switch in front of a mafia guy.
- And there is a switch under the box in the grayscaled area.

After pressing the switches a checkpoint will happen.

i think its that i can't find a switch because the ice launcher next to the owl saying he needs to go to the other side isn't going up when the mod is hinting its where i need to go next

Can you give me more details?

- You can't find all the timepiece shards?
- There are not enough power pons?
- Some things and enemies are not appearing or happening?
- You didn't find the grayscaled area behind the wall that looks like an eye?
- You didn't activate all the switches?
