how to get past hell manor

[giovanni]

is there a trick to get past hell manor?
this level is super duper hard and i noticed theres no checkpoint so far as ive reached
i barely reached the yellow bomb before dying immediately again.

and since i keep getting booted back to the entrance, its no fun.
pretty much whenever i die once and go back to the entrance, i close the game and wait a week to calm down before playing again.

i there a trick to this level? something where hopefully you can go slow and methodical?

there are a couple of checkpoints and if you buy the temp heart and extra minute powerups from Brulo, they persist as long as you revert to a checkpoint before you properly die or time out. You don’t need any of the optional collectibles to proceed, just the switches

[giovanni]

i think a major issue is that im not persistent
thats just not the kind of play in video games i do

reaching a checkpoint at every single switch would make me continue since i would see progress
but since, from what i read elsewhere, i have to reach all the switches before getting 1 checkpoint, well, thats no good for me.
getting sent back to the very start just makes me quit instantly

There’s a checkpoint a little later in the level, around halfway, and if you die after reaching that point, the timer will reset to around 6 minutes, so time isn’t all too much an issue.

It’s the last level, it will be very hard, but once you get good it’s also a very fun level, so just keep throwing yourself at it until it finally snaps.

You can take it as slow as you need, and every section will start with 2 or more health boxes to make sure you’re at max. Each section is its own challenge, making the whole thing a gauntlet, so just keep practicing each section, and feel free to mess up because you’ll be at full by the next section.

If you got past glasshouse, you can get past this, it’s all a matter of persistence

excepte there was a lot more checkpoints in glasshouse and i ignored every side thing

Then avoid the side things in hell manor. They are much more fit for repeat visits, hardest secrets in the game imo.

[giovanni]

which im already doing
i only found where 1 side thing was (which was before the yellow switch) and the 3 other tries i did i ignored that.

anyway, is there a trick to pass that entire level? secret passage?

Nope, is there a specific section that's bothering you?

theres no trick to the level. its the core of hell. and you're better be prepared to leg it.

There is exactly one checkpoint in the whole level. At least it resets time back to 5.30 when you return to it.

that is more then enough time.

Question: Are you trying to get everything in hell manner in 1 go? (Dont do that if you are not experienced)

Personally i think they could add like an extra minute or 30 seconds just for the paul collectable.

Buy a timer extension

[ciswhiteheterosexualmalenumber2]

Or a health upgrade

The lack of any third checkpoint is actually making me hate this level so much, there's difficult and then there's tedium, the last few levels and bosses tested my patience with this game but this level just outright hates the player.

[Kyezoar]

Personally I had trouble with the final room due to how faraway the checkpoint is midway through the level. I'm not sure how to help because when I was having trouble and venting my thought I was only told to "Get Good"

Really just buy all the health upgrades you can and practice to get to the midway checkpoint, then you get 5 ish minutes per warp back to it

[Triggerpigking]

I finally managed to do it(with the collectables too, I didn't want to redo this, I already had the first one and the third collectable at-least is oddly simple, so it only left 2 as a hassle).

I also feel very stupid because I am only finding out NOW that the health upgrades are permanent, I've been running around the entire game with 3hp.

I'm gonna go grind out the other levels for them, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, I thought they were like temp HP upgrades XD
