Homecoming Level Agony

[escape2?]

I know, I know, cheat codes are for losers, but I just can't beat this damn level. If there is a cheat code for skipping levels in DUSK, I will forever be in your debt. Thanks in advance.

Homecoming only has one secret, but its secret allows you to skip the entire fight by directly finishing the level. I would highly suggest taking it in place of going through the 200+ enemies.

Scratch that because I'm getting the levels mixed up again. Although it does sound like "Homecoming" would ideally precede "Dusk." What exactly are you getting stuck with on this level?

whats so hard about it?

just grab keys, activate the spinny things to change gravity and kill the necroplasms as you go along, its one of the easiest levels in the game tbh

[escape2?]

I did grab the keys, I did activate the yellow spinning things, and after that I can't control my movement; therein lies the problem. I just keep flying by everything over and over again. Quite frankly, as great as this game is, if I can't find a way or a video of how to beat this level, I'm done with it, which is a damn shame.

Come on dude, it's easy.

You just need to "adjust" to the new gravity, once you do that it becomes quite obvious where you need to go.

this

grab red key in barn, flip gravity. there's only one way you can fall out of the barn so don't deviate too much from that angle once you start falling.

land inside the house on the far side through the open window and you'll be at a red door, use your key, grab the blue key and flip gravity again

fall outside the house, land outside another house with a garage, open garage with the blue key

change gravity and hit the button by the upstairs computer that's playing dusk, it opens a neighboring garage

go inside that neighboring garage that just opened from the button press, change gravity again, fall to the sky island

hit the button on the island to open the locked hatch that's on the island, jump inside the hatch

from there it should be exceedingly obvious what to do

Thank you to everyone who took the time to respond. It just got so damn frustrating because I didn't understand how to proceed through each sequence. Thanks again.

Sorry for bumping this but I just remembered how disturbing this level felt back when I played it.

Not for the gravity thing, but the whole "coming home but everything is strange and twisted like a in a recurrent nightmare and everybody I used to love is no more" really messed me up.

So yeah, it's entirely possible to get stuck in this level. I'm in the house and I can't get out because gravity is flipped and I can't jump to where I need to be. Some extra testing for the more funky levels couldn't have hurt. So now I can load up a save from a levels ago and start over again. Fun!

I think I found the house and it's escapable. The crossbow can be used to hover up to the stairs and then jump out the front door. Also, the riveter and mortar can also be potentially used to escape. From there you could return to the barn and grab the red key that you missed.

This is by far the worst level of the game. If you don't figure out the "right" path to take, you can literally get lost and the disorientation alone is beyond frustrating. Thankfully, there's only one level.

Thank you for taking the time to respond, Eric.

Absolutely adored my entire playthrough until this level. Thanks for the tips. It's doable, just not enjoyable at all.

[Tulip]

Gotta agree here.

I found there were too many gravity-flips and a lot of time spent falling from space, frantically trying to drift towards a spot to stop my descent and catch my bearings. I also found it disorientating when landing on something the entire screen felt the need to rotate without any reason: I hit a tree upright, and the world decided to revolve so I was looking down at the base... I just had to manually twist back to my original... but didn't see why I had to, I was just correcting an unwanted interference by the game.

Either way, I watched a video and used the above guide to get me through this level... but it's the only level I wanted to be finished quickly to get onto the better ones.

Other levels I didn't enjoy were the ones in pitch-black, playing the game through a small illuminated circle, centre screen. I didn't mind the gloomy fields and villages at sunset, but groping around in dark tunnels made me want to rush through that level and get it finished quickly.

The only trouble I found with this level is occasionally missing the red key. I can see why it could be confusing for some but it's one of my favorite levels and the atmosphere in it is just perfect.

Dave don't listen to these newbs, level was great and awesomely disturbing.

Maybe in the next games just add a selectable "call of duty console lol gamepad" mode with waypoints and a military dude yelling at you when you go the wrong way.
