Is there a difference between the blocks the manticore can and cannot destroy?

[4thQueen]

Bit stuck with the second manticore, not sure where to go, but I've noticed that some of the "glass" blocks just shrug off the beam attack while others are destroyed and I was wondering if there's something I'm not seeing or if it's even possible to know which will be destroyed in the first place.

I experienced this too, and am still very confused about the glass blocks.

Here are some hints about what to do with your new friend. The hints will get more detailed the further down the list you go, until the last hint is just the solution:

1. The solution is nearby.
2. The manticore gate, like other animal blocks in the game, is movable.
3. A secret drawing will reveal the hidden path.
4. Use the Top. It's always the friggin' Top.

Full solution:
5. There is another patch of dirt blocks you can destroy with the Top on the far right side of the large room adjacent to where you "hatch" the second Manticore, near the fan.

Thanks, I found that from another thread. To answer my own question, it appears the breakable blocks ARE different. They have a slightly different dot pattern, which I never noticed.

what does that mean "other animal blocks" are movable what animal blocks

You can tell which blocks can be destroyed because they have a different pattern on them. They get destroyed quite quickly from the rays so chances are you already destroyed the ones that you can.

i think they are referring to like the mouse, cat, dog, player, and ostrich conveyer blocks near the factory area

problem is these blocks just look like bricks. every other top block looks like soil but these have no distinction other than uv marker in background
