MISSION 03: STILL TRAINING {W1003}
----------------------------------
SUMMARY: Learn advanced jumping and stealth skills in the farmyard while
collecting apple cores with Emile. Also learn how to attack and raft.
STAGE: Somewhere in France
POINTS: 400
As this mission begins, Emile will point to some tall poles rising from the
foliage. He jumps to one and doesn't quite make the leap he had in mind, then
scurries off toward a nearby pile of wood with instructions to follow while
collecting fruit. You'll have to make the leaps properly, even though your
lazy brother did not.
Fortunately, it's pretty easy. Just jump toward each pole and press the
'Action' button as you near it. Remember not to press it too soon or you
won't be within range. If you're close enough, you'll grab onto the pole and
from there you can jump out toward the next one and repeat the process. Use
that skill to make your way along each pole and use the right analog stick
along the way to adjust the camera angle if necessary. If you fall before
hitting the top of each important pole, you can head left to the stone wall,
double jump onto it and then work your way back to the start, free to try the
series of jumps again.
The last several apples aren't on top of poles at all, so you can just collect
them from the ground on the way to the woodpile. When you arrive, Emile will
explain to you the principles of stealthy movement (which you'll need to apply
momentarily). Basically, you can use an object to hide your presence. No one
will detect you when you're in disguise, unless you happen to move while
they're watching. A meter appears in the lower right corner of the screen to
let you know when they're looking and when they're oblivious.
Once the instructions end, grab the box and press the 'Action' button to hide
within it. Now head forward toward where the game let you know a chicken was
waiting. There are 10 apple cores to gather here, and the chicken never looks
away. You'll quickly learn the principles of stealth. As you move and the
chicken is watching, an alarm sounds and the green ring will quickly fill with
red as long as you're moving. The trick here is patience. Take little steps
at a time, let the ring turn all the way back to green, then move a little
more. When you finally move beyond the chicken, you can grab a bit of cheese
to refill any health you might have lost, then press the 'Action' button to
discard your disguise and jump left from there to reunite with Emile.
Now it's time to learn to defend yourself. Where you and Emile stand, there
are two spoons. He'll grab one and clobber a chick, then head off down an
alleyway after telling you to follow. Press the 'Action' button to grab the
spoon that remains, then follow. Along the way, you'll encounter three
chicks. They rush you as you get near. They look cute, but don't be fooled;
they actually are hoarding apple cores! Bash them with the spoon when they're
within range, collect the fruit, then continue.
You'll come to a new ledge where Emile is waiting. Here, he tells you about
rafting (which for the moment basically means jumping into a floating can and
using a spoon as a paddle). Jump into the nearby can. You'll find that you
can press the direction you would like to move and do so at a fair pace, but
pressing the 'Action' button repeatedly can make you go even faster. There
are 15 apple cores to gather here. Work down the stream, grabbing them along
the way, until you receive a message advising that you can jump out of the
raft to avoid damage.
You don't have to worry about damage, though. You can simply use the skill to
jump over a low-hanging pipe that lies ahead. When you reach the end of the
canal and jump onto land, you'll prompt the appearance of a checklist that
lets you know you've completed all of this world's objectives. You'll receive
a boost to your life meter and some points. Then the mission is concluded.
