Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom |OT| Pepelogoo in Wonder World [Now on PC]
- Thread starter Mega Man Zero
- Start date
The solution to that one is to get on the other side of it once it drops down a level and just keep pushing it to the right. That one got me as well until Thomas came on here and explained it haha
Damn I must've missed that news about the cancellation. Oh well, I'll still hold off until they figure it out.
Popular opinion is not something I hold in high regard. I'm more of a see-for-myself type person. It's exactly the kind of game I love, but HK seems to go against some of my personal criteria for the genre so that's why I'm very reserved about it. I'm sure it's a good game but that's what people said about Ori and the Blind Forest and I found that to be very middle of the road, but if you go by popular opinion it;s the best game in the genre, and that's something I'll never agree upon.
Same. It's what I've been waiting on to finally play it as well. :c
I need help in the Haunted Manor
I"m in a room with three floating tables. One angled down and a spiked ball. I keep thinking I got it, but the ball loses momentum on the hill of the last platform. I've been racking my brain. I don't want to try YT because it may spoil other sections.
I really, really, really want to love this game. Really. But it's just too frustrating for me. I can't remember the last game that made me want to throw the controller at a wall so strongly. Between the respawning enemies and the somewhat precise platforming, I find I can only play this in 15 minute chunks because I get so wound up.
Waiting for the "git gud" comments but man I wish this had an easy mode. (I completed the recent remake without too much difficulty so I dunno why this one eludes me...)

So happy the game's a huge success - very deserving of the acclaim, popularity and (hopefully) strong sales. Bodes well for potential sequels also.
I'm one of those Steam peasants patiently waiting on a PC release. Hope it's this month.
Remember you can perform small jumps when you have possessed the spiked ball...this combined with optimal placement of the ramps will give you enough momentum to get you up that last bit
I've also been stuck on this for the past half hour and to be honest I'm almost ready to put the game down. I absolutely adored it for the first 15 hours but now the dungeons are getting obnoxiously long and difficult. All these possession puzzles in particular are really starting to wear thin.
The Volcano and Haunted Manor stages are the toughest sections in the game (for different reasons). I recommend powering on as the stages after the Haunted Manor are fantastic and personally were less frustrating for me. You will be missing out on some of the best parts of the game if you drop it now.
The Haunted Manor sounds like it's a place that a lot of people have issues at. It's been somewhat smooth sailing for me up until here after solving those last treasure puzzles I was stuck on.
Now, I need to figure out how to activate the lights in the main room with the use of my blue friend.. Don't have the dragon talisman yet and I haven't seen where I can use the chapel key yet.
Can someone help me. I just beat the
and gave the owl his missing item. Now I have a indicator that says go to the sanctuary but there is nothing to do there. The nun chick (goat) is just standing outside. When I talk to the owl dude he just says, "use that key to get through the waterfalls area"
I don't even have a key......what the heck?

I don't even have a key......what the heck?
Something seems glitched there. Once you give the fortune cookie to Hoots, he tells you to visit the Sanctuary (which should be unlocked from earlier). Sister Abigoat (the nun chick) should be inside and send you off on the quest to retrieve the 3 relics.
The key for the waterfalls area would have already been used to access the locked door in the Falls area which leads to Deadwood Graveyard/Haunted Manor.

Link to Thomas' post detailing this glitch. It appears you may not have patched your game ?

So, I sequence broke the Haunted Manor while trying to figure out the lights. I was able to finish the majority of the area without ever going into the chapel area or doing the puzzle in the main room in the intended way.
And with that, here's the platinum trophy:
If you jump at just the right height off the pressure plate, it will stay locked. From there, you can use the limited fly of the dragon form to fly into the gap for the light switch and hit it with Pepe. This cuts out the entire set of puzzles to permanently turn the light beams on.
And with that, here's the platinum trophy:
Seems odd to me you were able to 100% complete the game without exploring the whole map.
I figured it out. It's wacky. I was able to figure the rest of the Haunted Manor as well. Felt good getting through that. Some crazy puzzles there.
You need to long press and I mean long press the direction toward the door. The ball will eventually get there. Really weird physics
Late game help
How do I the pig back? I got all my forms in the ultimate section, but the the pig. I need his sense of smell.
I wrapped up the rest of the area after doing the dining room events.
After you have returned with the golden sword, you need to backtrack to the first area of Dark Realm. You will see a wall of dark goo bricks to the far right which lead to the pig form puzzle room.
Gotcha
You were right. I restarted the game and she is in the sanctuary. Phew......I was about to quit this game forever. lol
Without seeing a screenshot of what the screen looks like for your first one I can't remember off the top of my head.
That one is easy.
Remember at the beginning of the game when you were a pig and you followed a ghost? You didn't follow it to all of its hiding spots. You'll need to look for the smoke that hides it in the two (maybe three) lines above the title "The Sewers". It'll then finally hide where the ? is. It's a heart container and you're gonna kick yourself because you could've had an extra heart from almost the beginning of the game.
For the first one, change to dragon form and fly up the left cliffside a little and you will reveal a hidden room inside the rock wall.
The Sewers one is gained by chasing the little ghost around for a bit, he eventually goes to the bottom where the ? is...revealing a red chest with heart piece. That little side quest is started with a pig sniff 2 room to the right of where the ? is on that map

Just finished my 2nd 100% run on the Switch version and I loved it as much as my 1st playthrough!
This game is just too damn good and deserves all the praise it's been getting, it's funny because I originally was waiting for this game to go on sale before getting it but thanks to the first few pages of this very thread, I got so hyped up about it and decided to take the plunge and boy am I glad I did, I double dipped on the Switch after completing my first playthrough on the PS4 version, paid FULL price for both with NO regrets!
Forget GOTY, this is personally my GAME OF THE GENERATION and I'm not fucking kidding!!
I have not played a single game this gen that has scratched an itch the way Monster Boy had done, no game in recent memory had made me felt like I was a kid again like this had, not even re-playing old retro games that I used to play/love has this effect on me.
I very rarely re-play games once I've completed them these days but I've done 2 100% playthrough back to back, a combined total playtime of 50+ hours and I still can't get enough of it, a reminder of my younger self playing and completing my fave games over and over without ever getting bored of them, I could do another playthrough right now but I think I'll leave that run for the PC version. 😂
I don't know what kind of black magic FDG Entertainment/Game Atelier used to craft this masterpiece but kudos to them and they absolutely deserves all the praise it gets, I'll be showing my support by getting the PC version on Day 1 when it eventually comes out. 👍
Between Sonic Mania, Monster boy and hopefully Streets of Rage 4 I'm currently going through a classic SEGA renaissance. Now how about a new 2D Comix Zone or Ecco...
501 deaths on you 2nd playthrough? God damn you should stop being so reckless. :P
Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful thoughts and impressions. It makes me very happy to hear that Monster Boy made you feel like a kid again because this is what we tried to achieve. To travel back and experience a game like we experienced them at young age again. ^_^

Half of those deaths were from farming coins using the method I posted a few pages back LOL
I concur. It's so charming.

Funny enough, I started playing the Monster Boy games on Xbox 360, with the M2 collection. So I had some nostalgia. I'm kinda bummed out I missed on the physical versions. Although I'm mostly digital these days, I do like getting all time favs on physical release.
That's why I liked the one I mentioned elsewhere in the Volcano. The respawning blob enemy drops a 20g bag every time when you have full health and you rack up the coins with the 2x coin bracelet on.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaLDdKvDiSA
The person in this video was aggressive in the way they were killing it causing them to get hit a few times. Also, there's one of those statues where throwing bombs into it to give you 3 hearts in the room directly before it so it ensures you'll get no hearts from the enemy if you top up your hearts first. They got >600g in a minute and they could've gotten more if they had full health.
My favorite end game location for gold farming is:
Castle entrance with the penguins. The volcano sections are tedious and I enjoy destroying the penguins lol.
Yeah I did that the first time I played the game but it takes so much more time and it's possible to take damage. The third time I 100% the game in 8h44m (13 deaths) I did it the same way as the video I posted.
Is it me or does it seem like there are very few physical copies of Monster Boy around at physical stores like Gamestop and Walmart?
I am in love with this game....Just sooo pretty... I am 20% in and enjyoing every minute of it. The one thing I don't like is when you die too often on a boss fight and some helper starts dropping heart items and other nonsense. Why did they include this???
you know, i'm trying to farm money and i have no idea where to get the prince bracelet? anyone have suggestions?
Any shop that you can still buy things from is a different colour than those you've already bought everything. Just look at your map and check them.
I know it's been said, but it deserves saying again, but this game has one of the most useful (and pretty) Metroid-style maps. It's so easy and fun to track completion on it. I know there's a time and place for maps that are more vague, but I absolutely love this one!
That's probably my only gripe on an otherwise perfect game, but I could understand why they did it, some of the boss fights can get pretty frustrating until you learn the patterns so this little crutch helps those less patient gamers out there, personally I don't think there's any need especially as there's usually a save point right before the boss fight.

Oh man it's posts like this that make me want to play the game yesterday - but I'm a Steam peasant waiting on the PC release here. Glad you loved the game so much.
This is exactly what I wanted out of the game - something to make me feel like a child playing Wonder Boy in Monster World again decades ago - and it appears the game is so good it achieves precisely that. Checking this thread quite often for news on the Steam release. Hope it's this month.
Looking at the map, nothing sticks out. My best advise is to go to the vendor in Aeria and buy as many of those secret scrolls as you can (It will only let you buy as many as you need to reveal all the remaining secrets). It will then reveal the missing things on your map with a (?)....in your case, it may only be 1 or 2 rainbow drops needed.
