Stuck in the underwater temple :(

[ginderjm]

So I am unable to get out of the underwater temple. I was able to get to the giant fish boss toward the bottom and was able to beat it with the crystal shock skill and get to where the water pump button was. Upon completing that it was much to my dismay that i was unable to escape from the previous room.
Even with the Double jump i cannot reach i high enough point. I somehow fear I have sequence broke the game and all is lost :( Hopefully this isn't true and i am just missing a simple path. Can anybody help me out?

[EZSPECIAL]

Ohhh did you perhaps manage to get there without the Merman's Suit or whatever that lets you swim? If you did you're stuck because you should be able to swim. Funny actually because I got to Sunken Temple with swimming but not double jump and you got the opposite, so much sequence breaking ^^ sadly for you it might mean you have to restart the game :(

[ginderjm]

Oh nooo :( yeah i dont have the merman's suit D: It wasn't easy getting down to this point, but i figured it was just part of the challenge. I found the enemies that spit out the shining blue orbs when they die, or the blue mushrooms, when hit by those in the water they knock you upward allowing you to get a higher jump. I thought i was simply discovering an answer to a puzzle of getting into somewhere and i would get an item that would help me get out easier inside:(
Well, hopefully any of the developers out there can take a look into this temple area and make it impossible to get in without the items needed to get out, because this whole restarting thing is real punch to the gut.

[EZSPECIAL]

Yeah getting without double jump is a glitch I managed and getting with double jump is actually really easy. I can tell you that there's only 1 place in the game where you have to damage boost and that's above the inn, all other places are reachable normally

[ginderjm]

Well i will keep that in mind when I start playing again, the wound is still to fresh at the moment to start back over. I am staying the *%$k away from that temple until i get a merman suit and double jump next time. Castle in the Darkness, underwater temple, you win this round, but I will be back.

[Cute Tea Goat]

Yeah, I just did this as well. The first set of spikes to get in is just barely clearable with a double jump, and damage boosting lets you get past the second one. Then, the whole rest of the temple seems perfectly normal until you get stuck in the fish boss area.

Actually, with the double jump and the wind spell, you can get a 3rd jump underwater. It takes me lot of times but i was finally able to get out this superfish trap without a swimming or something else.

Maybe some strats with thar for a future speedrunning! :3

@Zoph can you please explain how to get that third jump? I'm stuck in this spot as well, and I would rather not have to start a new game.

[EZ]

I also got stuck in here. Please someone save me I don't want to start over :(

[ginderjm]

I'm sorry EZ, but the underwater temple may have permanently claimed your character as it did mine. I would like to think there are now a group of castle guards trapped down there trying to stack themselves ontop of one another trying to escape.

[Matt Kap (LABS)]

I'll add an escape in tonights update!

[ginderjm]

Hooray! This game has been great fun so far and the fact you are digging an escape tunnel for the prisoners of the underwater temple gets me excited to continue exploring again. :)

[Cirina]

Oh wow, thanks for the quick response. I'll be sure to continue playing as soon as the update is out!

[EZ]

Yes thank you vs_matt you're my hero! By the way your game kicks ass

[EZ]

Oh snap, vs_matt if you happen to check back here I should let you know that if you make the escape route just back to teh beginning of the sunken temple we're still giong to be stuck. We won't be able to hop back over the spkes on the leadup to the temple. The ones you can just barely clear to make it there

[Matt Kap (LABS)]

Testing it right now, and it will be possible with ONLY the double jump (no wind exploit and no mermaid statue). A 2nd shortcut will be there too, just in case
