Master the time-rewind mechanic in Braid to solve the intricate platforming puzzle in World 6, Level 3. This guide breaks down the steps to grab your ring and ascend the ladder.

Alright, we're heading into World 6, Level 3, and it's a bit of a brain-bender involving those time anchors and platforms. Don't worry, we'll get through this together!

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, head back to where you were in the previous section (from #58). You need to grab your ring. Once you have it, hit the switch again.
  2. 2
    This will lower the platforms. Jump onto them and place the ring where the ladder normally sits.
  3. 3
    Jump back to the right and hit that switch one more time.
  4. 4
    Now, wait patiently. You need both platforms to return to their starting positions. Once they're there, hit the switch again. Yes, again! This is the last time, I promise.
  5. 5
    You'll notice the top platform moves slower than the one going left. It's designed to move past the descending platform. It'll stop further left, near a small platform.
  6. 6
    Climb the ladder and walk left to find another switch. Hit it. Watch as the ladder drops from above, but it's still too short to reach the puzzle piece.
  7. 7
    Make your way to the ladder anyway and climb up. You'll grab your ring again in the process. This ring lets you reach that platform that moved over earlier.
  8. 8
    Stand on that platform, and then reverse the ladder back to its original position.
  9. 9
    Now, place the ring on the left edge of the normal platform (not the time anchor one), right next to where the ladder would be.
  10. 10
    Head back to the switch that initially dropped the ladder and hit it again.
  11. 11
    Double back to the ladder. Climb up next to your ring and stand on the time anchor.
  12. 12
    This is the crucial part: Rewind time! Watch as the ladder bounces back up. When it reaches its highest point, stop rewinding. Immediately run left.
  13. 13
    You need to jump onto the ladder and start climbing as soon as you can. If you're quick enough, you'll make it to the top platform.
Tips
  • The trick here relies on a temporary immunity to time powers when you leave a time anchor. You'll see a green glow around Tim. This immunity lasts a few seconds, just enough time to hop onto the ladder as it's moving and get a good climb in before time fully affects you again.
  • Pay close attention to the platform movements; timing is everything in this section.
