Your friend's guide to Limbo's Chapter 17. Learn how to outsmart the shadow creature, use the glowing plant, and solve the water puzzle to progress.
Alright, so you've made it to Chapter 17. This one's a bit of a puzzle with a creepy shadow creature. Don't worry, I'll walk you right through it.
Walkthrough
- 1You'll start off past the first lever. Drop down and you'll see a little animal-like creature trying to reach a glowing plant. As you get close, it'll get spooked and run off to hide. Your goal here is to get that plant to fall down. Jump up onto the platform above where the creature was, then hop over to the platform that has the glowing plant hanging underneath it. Jump on the plant a few times, and it'll drop down to the ground. Now, head back to the platform above where the shadow creature is hiding. When it comes out to grab the plant, drop down behind it and it'll scurry away again.
- 2This time, it runs into a classic hamster wheel. Hop up and hit the switch. Hold it for a few seconds, and you'll notice it starts to rain.
- 3Keep heading to the right. You'll see a hanging chain from a broken pipe. Don't worry about that for now; instead, drop down into the hole to your right. Your next task is to move that log. Pull it towards the center of the pit, then climb up the left side. Now, jump onto the chain of the broken pipe. This will fill the pit with water. Once the pit is full, jump onto the log and then use it to reach the platform on the opposite side.
- 4You'll eventually reach a pool of black, deadly fluid. From here, jump to the small plant hanging over the edge. Climb up it and continue into the pipe. Slide down into the next area, and you'll be through Chapter 17!
Tips
- The shadow creature is fast, so be ready to react once it moves.
- Make sure the log is pretty centered in the pit before you fill it with water; it makes the jump to the other side much easier.
