Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Break through the dirt and kill the jouster. Use the checkpoint and collect the deposit. Check behind curtains for gems. Continue right.
  2. 2
    In the open air, face a Griffin. It fires fireballs in a sine wave; find safe spots. Wait for an attack, jump the pit, and attack its head between its attacks. You'll get health and gems.
  3. 3
    Continue right to another checkpoint. Defeat the rats, letting them come left to collect gem rewards. Head right over pits. Draw two more rats to the left, then bounce off their heads to reach the upper walkway and a hidden area.
  4. 4
    Kill the beetle and jump down. Jump over the hole covered by a banner for a gem. Defeat the two magicians. Climb the ladder for gems and hit the right wall for a hidden red gem. Below, a wall is hidden by a long banner; take the upper path, break dirt blocks, kill a beetle, and reach a magician and a chest. Loot the chest. Hit the top right wall for red gems. Return to the previous screen, drop down, and take the lower path. Break dirt and find gems behind three banners.
  5. 5
    In the new screen, ride the chandelier down and jump right for gems. Go down, take out jousters, and hit the left wall above for a red gem. Grab the gem by the pit. Below, a knight is on dirt. Smack the deposit off the right wall before fighting. Fight on the dirt; there's ground below if you fall. Break all dirt for gems. After the knight dies, break the lower right wall for a hidden gem.
  6. 6
    Reach another checkpoint. Break it for gems, or save it for a tricky jump ahead. Below, hit the left wall for gems and a hidden room. Enter the hidden room. You can break the statue. Ride the circling platforms to the left, collecting scattered gems. Be careful of two rats. Collect the Music Sheet. Return to the previous screen.
  7. 7
    Hit the giant book (bounce off the top) to create magical platforms. Use them to continue. In the next screen, hit another book and fish in the sparkling pit for a Troupple Fish (possibly an Ichor of Boldness).
  8. 8
    Jump on the book and cross the platforms. Bounce on the book until ready to cross fire traps. Hit the next book and cross the pit of death to another book. Bounce on this book until ready to pass the next fire traps. Jump quickly from the one-space book to the ladder and safety.
  9. 9
    Beware of chandeliers. Gather food and gem deposit, then head right. Face another Griffin. A safe spot is to the right of the left wall. Take it out and continue.

Boss Fight: King Knight

  • General Information: King Knight is a good first boss, not too hard to damage and with dodge-able attacks. Aim for multiple hits. Get off 3+ bouncing attacks before and after his dash, and especially during his trumpet attack. Spam the flare wand when he's out of reach. Use a health chalice if low on health.
  • Scepter Slam: King Knight jumps twice, then pauses on the second jump to slam his scepter. Jump when he pauses to avoid being stunned if on the ground.
