Walkthrough
- 1Navigate the Perilous Piers, defeating enemies and avoiding hazards.
- 2Focus on parrying specific projectiles to build meter and clear paths.
- 3Utilize Ms. Chalice's abilities, particularly her dash parry, for enhanced maneuverability and defense.
- 4Defeat the final boss of the level, The Howling Aces, by learning its attack patterns and exploiting openings.
Tips
- Equip the Crackshot weapon for its homing capabilities, making it easier to hit targets while focusing on dodging.
- Consider the Heart Ring charm to increase survivability, especially when aiming for S-ranks or dealing with difficult phases.
- Practice parrying the pink projectiles from the seagulls and other enemies to charge your Super Meter quickly.
- For the final boss, The Howling Aces, prioritize dodging the plane's attacks and parrying the bombs it drops. Use Super Art I for significant damage when an opportunity arises.
- If aiming for the "Cooked to Perfection" achievement (S-Rank on an Inkwell Isle IV stage), Perilous Piers is a good candidate due to its manageable enemy count and boss fight.
- To achieve the "High Hat" achievement (defeat a boss without killing minions), focus on damaging The Howling Aces directly and avoid targeting the smaller planes or enemies that appear.
- For the "Hearty" achievement (9HP), combining Ms. Chalice's innate abilities with charms like Twin Heart and Djimmi the Great's wishes can help reach the required health.
