The Generator Passage Ways

[CHOO CHOO]

So I'm in The Generator Passage Ways. When I try to move to the right, I die. Seems to have something to do with the giant floating spheres shining a light on me.

Wat do? Is there a hint somewhere that I missed?

The Orbs shine an arc of light that damages the player. There are 4 Orbs you need to pass to get to the Portal checkpoint on the right (above the platform). The broken pillars provide cover so that the Orb lights can't touch and damage you.

Wait till the Orb lights shine in a different area, then move quickly (I use Dash) to reach the next pillar and hide there. Continue moving to the right by avoiding the lights and using pillars to avoid taking damage.

The Orbs will also shoot projectiles at you when you are hiding behind the pillar. Wait till they almost touch you, then jump or double-jump to avoid them. Don't roll because it will make you move out of cover and get hit by the light. The Roll invincibility frames also won't protect you.

Yes, it is very difficult. Your timing, movement and positioning need to be extremely precise. I died there around 20-25 times before I passed the area and reached the Portal. In all my 13 hours of playtime (seems I've reached the end of the current game available), I've only died 6 other times.

The pillars! That hadn't occurred to me. Thanks!

Alright, this passage is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

The Dark Hunter doesn't have nearly enough fine control to land right in the middle of each pillar with each movement, there is no partial cover as soon as you stick a toe out, and the damage dealt by the light is just ludicrously severe.

I made it to sphere number 4 by now, for the record. In something like a dozen attempts.

This is not fun.

Okay, made it through. Still, not fun. Not rewarding. And then there isn't even a checkpoint on the other side. Managed to sprint through to the next zone and find a portal, but still. What a frustrating affair.

Ya I hate this area of the game. I just memorized where I needed to start dashing so when I dashed, I ended up exactly behind the pillar.

Later on, there are 2 other similar challenges in the other regions. Different kind of orbs, but also high damage. Those are somewhat easier.

This section is awful. At least get rid of the stupid homing missiles. This paired with the stutter is making me not want to play anymore.
