2019 EDIT: In response to popular demand over the years, as well as this series returning to vogue, I have recorded a video solution for The End 5. Now I don't have to solve the adventure every time I forget how it's done! https://youtu.be/lIJqXaP6qQY

i just started and i am so confused already

Wonderman109 · Post by **Wonderman109** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 12:43 am

I'm kinda stuck in the crab area. Don't you even THINK that's going to make me love them any less, but I could use a bit of help. Also, since when does the End have puzzles?

WHAT? YOU SHOULD HATE THEM! HATE THEM WITH ALL YOUR BEING!

Here's a hint:

No one ever said that The End COULDN'T have puzzles.

I got that much, I just don't know how to do it so I can press all the buttons in what I think is the right order. This area has decoys, right?

how are you people even getting past the first area

i am
like

completely stuck

Seriously though, something in the beginning is just not clicking for me.

There might be alternate solutions, I dunno.

I'm stuck on the first part, too.

OK, can I just tell you what I'm getting at?

Don't read this if you're not as stickily stuck as I am wrote: My idea is that you Brr the spot by the south crab, blink there, guide it onto the water below the chargers, grab magic, and go on from there. That's where I can't figure out what to do first. I think I have to get the north crab trapped in a Floing bubble to make it stay on the rainbow button, but otherwise...nope.

AHA, NOW I GET IT

Clever.

Wonderman109 · Post by **Wonderman109** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 1:40 am

I'm trying, but these crabs are giving me living shell.

Seriously, how do I use ALL the magic?

Oh...well, that makes it even harder, because I now have to completely rethink how I solve it.

OH NO, THE END WITH PUZZLES?
WE ARE DOOMED. D:

Jutomi · Post by **Jutomi** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 3:37 pm

Pretty much.

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 3:45 pm

OK, so I can q-blink past the gate and skip the second part entirely, but I'm not gonna do that because I want to finish the level legitimately. Speaking of which, can you guess what's behind the crab section? MOAR PUZZLES, of course. No red deadly craziness. So, either this is chronologically the first "The End", or there's something seriously strange going on plot-wise. I'm very confused.

I still think it's the last one chronologically. I didn't get very far before ragequitting though. Maybe I'll try this again now.

EDIT: Nope. I can get the crab into the area it needs to be in but I have no idea how to get in there with it.

Finally I got this crab puzzle solved!

This was one of the best puzzles I've ever played. Tinkle magic has so much more potential than usual chargers...

Jutomi · Post by **Jutomi** » Mon Apr 07, 2014 10:13 pm

Don't be so sure; sometimes the tinkles show how much you need, while full chargers make you wonder "How many could I need..?"

I honestly have no clue as to how to solve this second part, though; I just barely got through the first part.

Wonderman109 · Post by **Wonderman109** » Tue Apr 08, 2014 12:31 am

I finished the level. I think my solutions to the metal-key puzzles after the town are both unintended, especially the left side as I didn't use most of the elements.

There seem to be two possibilities of what's happening plot-wise:

either this is before the Endvasion, as the CS IS in the level, or this is how the player escapes the End, by entering a sphere of safety from it (The false hope in The End 4 might have been an only temporary sphere.)

This End was the weirdest yet-so normal compared to the others that it stands out a lot! I applaud you, MNIK.

Finally had time to complete this hint-less after a hectic Monday!
Finally, an End with puzzles! Magic puzzles, no less, which are my favourite! Thank you!

For the first puzzle, I had a mental block because I was expecting some sort of decoy/Endlike trick. But after clearing up a bit, I managed to solve it.

The second one, the crab puzzle, was my favourite! Although some square buttons weren't needed, the entire puzzle was a brain twister, and I thoroughly enjoyed solving it. Great job

My only real complaint's about the left metal gate key puzzle. That level is completely broken, since I didn't have to touch the Null charger at all. I only had to deal with the right hand side of the room. Was that intended to show, perhaps, the increasing level of chaos/The End?

The second metal key puzzle also didn't require me to use all magics. It was still challenging to a certain degree though.

Plot-wise, this is really confusing me

. Can't wait for the next ones!
