Wow - Find the moon berry
This secret is very much not for the faint of heart. You can find it in assist mode, but the fun is in the challenge!
Other than it being safe to assume it's located in Chapter 9, there isn't much in the way of clues. This guide details how to find the berry, but before revealing it all, here are a few hints in increasingly revealing order:
- It isn't the golden strawberry (yes, there is one for this chapter, good luck).
- The path to it is easily mistaken for decoration.
- It's in probably your most dreaded location.
- Backtracking is necessary, but not in the obvious way.
- You're expected to die at least once.
Walkthrough
Here's a more comprehensive version. For starters, you're expected to know about:
- Everything taught to you in the entire game including this chapter.
- How to gain height diagonally using the jellyfish glider. When holding onto the glider, release it, dash diagonally upwards, then grab it again.
- How to gain additional vertical height using the jellyfish glider. Throw the glider against the wall or a spring, such that it bounces back for you to dash upwards and grab it again. This gives you an additional vertical boost. You can also gain a boost by holding down, letting go, then dashing immediately upwards and grabbing again.
Now, the start of the secret is located at the end of the very last room i.e. the longest room in the game. This means you'll have to do the entire room if you want a shot at the secret, though fortunately you can reach it directly from the checkpoint select.
After disabling the electrical fields, dash immediately back left onto a floating pillar, then make your way up. This is fairly long gauntlet to the top, and you will need to do a few wavedashes and wallbounces on the way. Some floating pillars descend from your weight - if you can't make the next jump then jump and dash upwards in place so that the pillar rises again. The area with the puffer fish is one notable chokepoint - you need to be blasted to the right far enough so that you can reach a platform. If you miss it though, you can hold left for most of the way down and you should land back on an earlier part of the gauntlet. Even more mercifully is that unlike the rest of this room the developers were kind enough to add a checkpoint midway through the ascent, so if you mess up after that you won't need to do the entire room again.
Once you reach the top, you're greeted with two rooms linked together, and a disconnected passage. There doesn't appear to be any way to reach that passage naturally, but if you come around the top and make contact with the spikes on the right of the lower room you'll respawn inside that passage. Go through, and you'll be presented with the second half of the gauntlet.
The second half tests your ability to use the jellyfish glider, which is why knowing about points 2 and 3 above is necessary. Use either of those methods to start your ascent, using the rail walls or releasing the glider upwards. A bunch of springs are added later on - if you're feeling adventurous you can skip a few parts of that section.
At the end of the crumbling block section you're expected to throw the glider onto the later set of springs, then dash up and grab it again. The sweet spot to throw it is approximately where the floating wall is.
Contrary to what the binoculars at the bottom might suggest, there is a final section above this with two main obstacles. Firstly, make your way to the left, throw the glider right so it unlocks the key, then dash your way around and grab it on your way up.
The last obstacle can be approached in two ways. Take the left path, then throw the glider onto the left set of springs, making it bounce back and forth. Alternatively, hold down and release it so that it floats straight up. Quickly dash around through the middle path and grab the glider again, preferably with an upward dash.
Hold the glider all the way to the end and you're done!
