The best way to ensure you can go back to the Zombie Caravan anytime you like is still to bring four Baby Warp Squids during your first visit.Jake Kaufman Shantae is a 2D platform video game developed by WayForward Technologies for the Game Boy Color. Don't worry: the place is no longer required for plot progression, but it can be useful to get back there, for three reasons: the items are cheaper, racing against Rotty again can get you some gems, and if you warp there with the Warp dance, you will automatically bring the night, which can be useful, for example if you're trying to catch the fireflies. Actually, from this point onwards, you may only get back there out of pure luck by crossing two overworld areas at night (any area will do).

To get to the top, you have to go west (which is to say left).Īfter your first mandatory visit at the Zombie Caravan, you'll notice it's no longer in its original location. Approaching from the east will just run you into an impassable cliff-face. How do I get to Twinkle Palace at the top of Mount Pointy?Ī point of confusion with this game is the incorrect advice Shantae's friends provide about reaching the summit of Mount Pointy.

If you have trouble reacting to the obstacles fast enough, try memorizing the sequence: Shantae can outrun her easily, but Rotty flawlessly evades the obstacles, so it's necessary to do a nearly perfect run. Getting beaten by a zombie in a foot race is pretty humiliating. More specific topics How do I beat Rottytop's race? So the old saying "Quitters never prosper" is actually the opposite of true in the Gecko Chamber. Your goal is to get to the top and make the bonus, and if that possibility ever looks unlikely, there is no point in continuing. Since the gem investment increases with each turn, bailing early on loses you very little money. The strategy, such as it is, is as follows: If the enemy gets two points ahead of you, bail out. You can bail out at any time, and hitting the top will net you 100 gems. It's basically a dice game, where you score a point (represented by how high your lizard is on his pole) for each winning role.


For the most part, to get anywhere, just keep walking in one direction. There is a single 'main' path of areas spanning across, with a few tangents and shortcuts through caves. More generally, it's easiest to visualize the world as a ring-shape that loops around.
