PrinceWatercress plays Beard Blade - Part 11 of 13


I really, really hate that maze.


Smuglin Industries 1 (Day)


You can use the beard projectile to attack the cones. If you knock them down, they're empty; if you don't, there's an enemy inside and you'll have to take it down with the normal attack.

The red conveyor belts travel to the left; the blue conveyor belts travel to the right. The buzzsaws will obviously hurt you if you touch them.

The rod that you can clamp onto with the beard clamp move at the first set of blue conveyor belts will lead you to the first big coin if you launch yourself upwards on it. Watch out for the buzzsaws!

After the first checkpoint, there is a platform that will move up when you stand on it. If you can bring it up just a bit, walk off the right edge and get underneath where the platform started, you'll find the red chest and Track 17. On the elevator, you'll find the second big coin; you'll need to jump to get the elevator platform to drop down and make it easier to get this. Just watch out for the buzzsaws.

To the right after that elevator platform, use the beard projectile to destroy the block above the springboard, then crawl to the springboard to get Enemy Card #36: Angker.

After the second checkpoint and the sign warning you of the bottomless pit, vault yourself up with the beard clamp move and head to the left to get the third big coin. Watch out for the electrical barriers in the area as you make your way further up on the way to the end.

Smuglin Industries 1 (Night)


The nighttime version of this level is a maze, and one that I am not particularly found of, as it is chockful of currents that will move you everywhere.

To get the first big coin, take the wave currents up at the start of the maze.

To get the second big coin, you'll need to use the currents to keep going left at the room with the heart after you drop down for the second maze section. You'll soon be able to reach the coin.

After the room with the heart, you'll need to head to the right. At the next loop, go down, then left. Take the upper path at the fork, and you can get the blue chest and the Vintage Toy. After this, take the lower path and stay low so you can continue to the left and get to the checkpoint.

From the checkpoint, keep going up and right. When you see the area outside of the currents where you can surface for air, keep going down and right. You'll get the third big coin. After the coin, go down and left to get Enemy Card #37: Igato. The path to the exit is below where you found the enemy card.

Smuglin Industries 2 (Day)


Before you enter, get the Rolling Beard Wash. This allows you to roll by holding Down on the D-Pad and pressing X (on the XBox 360 controller).

The guys with the hard hats will throw boulders, but they only toss them in the direction they are looking and you can take them down with the beard clamp move.

When you reach the wide-open area with the boulder throwers, get on the upper level and head left, then beard clamp on the beam that you see and launch yourself upwards for the first big coin.

The Smuglins in the forklifts are indestructible, and they will throw you upwards if you stand on the metal prongs.

At the start of the second section, get carried up by the first two forklift Smuglins, then head left. Watch out for the blue crushers as you drop down to get Enemy Card #38: Udon.

After the checkpoint in the second section, get carried upwards by the forklift Smuglins before the nearby lava pit, then head left to the tar pit. Hold Down and press X to use the roll and roll your way to the left across the tar. At the end is the red chest and Track 18; to stop rolling, press Up.

The second big coin is shortly after that section where you can get the music track. Get carried up, then leap up the platforms and get to the top, then head to the right and grab the coin. The electric barrier at the ceiling is instant death.

After the long drop that you have to take near the end, go all the way to the right and be carried upwards by the forklift Smuglin. You can then head to the left, watch out for the crushers, and get the third big coin.
