It's now time for the final area in the game: the Celestial Heavens. But to get there, we're going to have to make an arduous climb across a couple of levels.

Journey to the Celestial Heavens

Gain the divine power

You can go right for some turnips, but you'll need to bounce upwards on the clouds to get upwards into the Celestial Heavens. Sadly, the first thing you're going to notice is that you'll barely be able to tell where you're going due to the action being zoomed in. I wish the camera moved back just a little bit so that every bounce upwards didn't seem like a leap of faith. At least you have infinite lives.

Once you make it to the first checkpoint, bust out the Strength spell so you don't take damage in case you make one wrong move and land on a hard surface. You have infinite magic, so there's no point in not using it. 

If you need to, use the Ice spell to freeze some platforms. 

When you get on the elevator and hit the switch, you'd better be ready to avoid the mines as you go up. After the first elevator, take the low road and bounce to a switch, then take the upper road and bounce upwards to lower the second elevator and avoid more bombs.

After some more bouncing upwards and riding more platforms, you'll reach another elevator. Freeze the platform before hitting the switch, then unfreeze the platform to enter the next level.
