To pass the monsters through impassable foliage, use the ring to make the three plants come into sync. Then up arrow once to go to 0X when all plants are retracted. I was able to able to pass 4-5 monsters before running about to start jumping on them.

beats trial and error every time.

Elevator action was just killing me. Just knowing that you can rewind time and not be affected while standing on the platform, was what helped me figure out the rest. Thanks a bunch for hint and not the answer!

[...] to figure out exactly what I was missing. If you’re interested, I’ve written up some hints for the Braid game which attempt to nudge you in the direction of the answer without outright [...]

On ‘impassable foliage’, I found the best way to ensure the monsters’ passage through the plants is to repeatedly rewind/replay a very short period of time. In other words, wait until all three plants have retracted their jaws, then just press/release the rewind button fairly quickly over and over again (say, one second on, one second off). This repeatedly replays the short period when the plants are out of the way, allowing lots of monsters to pass. As I recall, I had the ring near the far end of the run (away from the cannon) to give me a better shot at making the double-jump.

I haven’t breathed such a sigh of relief on completing a game achievement since I won the race with Kai in Okami.

Yes - I found world 7. But it’s so drastically different from everything else that I didn’t write up any world 7 hints.

Great hints page. Love not having to look at a walkthrough to get past the hard bits.

Can I just check though… you did climb the ladder in the main house and find the final levels right? The lack of world 7 hints made me worried you didn’t see it kept going! (Something I nearly did)

I had tried the double jump before, evidently not in the right spot. Just made it to the key and hence the puzzle piece. Thanks for the tidbit and yes, it’s an excellent game. I wouldn’t mind seeing a full price and full length sequel.

Austin -
Here’s a series of hints. Try to get it by reading only the first one, but read the second if you need to.

1. As I’m sure you know, jumping on two monsters’ heads gets you much higher than jumping on a single one. This is how you get up to the key, although it’s a multi-step process.

2. Placing the ring properly will cause the monsters to group up so that they’re closer together.

If possible, can you give me a hint as to how to get the key in ‘Cascade’? I know how to get the ring to the ‘hard place’ and get to the door, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to get the key in the first place.

I LOVE your idea of a hint w/o solution. I’ve done the same for friends (on the puzzles I did solve) and it is a VERY satisfying feeling to divine the solution on your own.

For the second piece in Impossible Foliage, if you realise that bouncing off a monster that is falling BEFORE it hits the floor gets you a little bit higher, than its a lot easier to grab the piece.
