Episode 7: Menace in the North, Eh?

Back in Canada, things are not right, including the Northern Lights, which has appeared and disappeared. It appears that the Northern Lights are positioned in front of a lumber yard, where Jean Bison is utilizing the Lights with help from Arpeggio. Jean Bison also has the Clockwerk Talons in order to cut down trees himself. It's time to take them back.

Treasure of the Video

Jade Decanter - This is on the porch of Jean Bison's cabin. Thankfully, if you know the terrain, it's easy to run and Paraglide to the safe house. Use L3 as often as you can and you should be able to get this thing back to home base.

The Thief Reflexes is the same as the Slow power-up from the first game. It slows time to a crawl, and it uses special weapon energy as you hold the assigned button.

When you leave the safe house, you'll find out that Arpeggio's blimp is due any minute to pick up a battery, that Jean Bison still has the Talons, and that you'll have to find a way to sneak aboard the blimp in order to tail Arpeggio. We have so much to do and so little time.

The cane has been modified to climb on ice. If you jump into an ice wall, the cane will turn into two smaller canes that can be used to climb on the ice. Watch out for falling icicles when on them...they'll hurt and knock you off if they connect, especially at the lighthouse.

Speaking of the lighthouse, the very top is the site of one of the clue bottles as well as the best place to Paraglide from.

Just like last time, there are bears. Just like last time, don't mess with them.

The outhouses will spawn an enemy out of them if you pass by them too loudly.
