Learn how to navigate the tricky Venus flytraps and time your movements with enemies to grab the key in Braid's World 4, Level 5, Part 1.

Alright, welcome to this part of World 4! This level, specifically [w4l5p1], is all about timing and using those weird green Venus flytraps to your advantage. Don't worry, we'll get through it together.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start and immediately notice these green Venus flytraps to your right. The key thing to remember about them is that they move when you *don't*. Keep that in mind as we progress.
  2. 2
    Directly to your left, you'll see a green key tucked away in an alcove. Unfortunately, only an enemy can reach it right now.
  3. 3
    Over on the far right, there's an enemy patrolling. Your main goal here is to time your movements so that you and the enemy move in sync, avoiding getting chomped by those flytraps. It's a bit of a puzzle, and honestly, the first two flytraps are mostly about trial and error.
  4. 4
    The third flytrap is where things get a little more involved. You'll need to climb the ladder where the enemy initially was. From there, hop onto the small platform to your left.
  5. 5
    Carefully watch the third flytrap. When it's down and retracted, quickly hop to the platform on the right. Sprint across it and then jump down to the ground below.
  6. 6
    Keep moving to the right until you hear that satisfying key sound effect. This means the enemy has just been caught by a flytrap. As soon as that happens, the enemy will drop the key.
  7. 7
    Quickly head back towards the flytraps, grab the key, and then make your way up the ladder to the right.
  8. 8
    Now, you'll need to head left, avoiding the bunny that hops around. Keep going up the next ladder.
  9. 9
    Hop across the gap, open the door, and congratulations, you've got the piece!
Tips
  • Patience is key here! Rushing will almost certainly get you eaten by the flytraps.
  • Observe the enemy's patrol pattern and the flytraps' retraction times before making your move.
  • Don't be afraid to restart the checkpoint if you mess up; it's better than getting frustrated.
