PrinceWatercress plays Crystal Caves - Part 4 of 16


In this episode, we finally finish off Volume 1, but our hopes at riches don't go as well as expected.



Level 9



You'll need to find the red, blue and green levers in order to get out of here.

Be ready to do a lot of platforming in this level. Also, the position of where the purple cobras are when they die is a bit crucial; make sure they're not near any edges where you need to jump at or land.

The creatures with the big eyes at the sides are particularly nasty. They move back and forth, and you can only shoot the eyes out when they are open and in front of you. You'll need to shoot down both of the eyes entirely to destroy the body, and the fact that these creatures can fire eyes at you like projectiles and cancel out your own shots only complicates things.

Be sure to move to the right when getting that huge column of blue crystals on the far left so you don't land in stalagmites.

Level 11



Jump up to activate the switch at the start.

Make sure you shoot down all the destructible blocks when getting the key; otherwise, you'll have to quit to the main level and start all over. Same for that one block below all the crystals near the triceratops.

Level 13



We have low gravity here, so get ready to make some higher, more floaty jumps.

Also, this place looks like something straight out of Super Mario Bros. 2.

I usually avoid shooting the cobras, since there is enough room to jump over them and avoid them as opposed to shooting them. Helps save on ammo, too.

Level 16



Be ready to fire ahead of time to shoot down the robots who will zap you with a vengeance at the very top as well as at the very bottom.

You can go through the vertical pipes and jump upwards through the horizontal pipe floors. The joints, on the other hand, are absolutely solid. Take care where the green one-eyed worms are when they die so that you don't accidentally jump into their corpses in some spots.

Once you beat all sixteen levels in Volume 1, Mylo will automatically leave the mines. You'll get points for every required crystal you picked up throughout the game, then Mylo will buy his twibble farm. Unfortunately, the twibbles multiply like rabbits to the point that they devour a whole planet's food supply, and to make matters worse, the twibble fad has cooled down and Mylo has missed out on it, costing him untold amounts of money. Time to head to the mines again...
