PrinceWatercress plays Kid Icarus - Part 2 of 15

Due to my relative inexperience with the game at this point, I spend three videos getting out of the first world of the game. It works out, though.

World 1-3

Map (by Rick Bruns)

The red water is lava, and it will hurt if you land in it.

Halfway up the level, you'll be dealing with the Shemums and the Commylooses at the same time. If you can find a spot where you can somehow shoot down a good amount of enemies and avoid getting hit a lot, you can get a lot of points and hearts here.

You'll also see brown spikes coming out of the sides of the green platforms and walls. Touching those will hurt you.

Near the end, you'll find a training room. In the training room, you'll have to shoot down tiles (known as Monoliths) as they fly around. If you stand left of the center of the room, most of the tiles won't hit you, and if any do, it will be from the side. If you get the "Well Done" message, you'll be able to choose between one of three items: the Fire, which gives you flaming arrows that do more damage; the Sacred Bow, which increases the speed and range of your arrows; and the Protective Crystal, which spawns two crystals revolve that around Pit and destroy enemies while also acting like a shield. You'll need a certain amount of health in order to get these powers to work, or else they won't work.

If you can reach 56,600 points, you'll get a third unit of health for the health bar.
