MISSION 02: MORE TRAINING {W1002}
---------------------------------
SUMMARY: Learn how to perform more complicated jump maneuvers while gathering
apple cores in the attic with Emile.
STAGE: Somewhere in France
POINTS: 500
Emile wants to meet you over near a raised chest, and demonstrates how to jump
and then swing from an airborne pole. He falls well short of his goal, then
rushes off to the destination while you're left to get there the proper way.
Jump toward the first pole that extends from the wall, then press the button
indicated in the tutorial to grab onto it (on the PlayStation 2, that would be
the 'Square' button).
Some may find this segment tricky because of the timing required. The way to
succeed is to press the 'Jump' button as you are at the lowest point on your
swing. As you swing forward, Remy will then jump to the next pole, and you
need to press the 'Square' button to grab onto it and repeat the process. In
this manner, you can collect the segment's five apples and meet with Emile
atop the chest.
You're now going to learn about your 'Super Sniffer' skill, which allows you
to track the scent of food in the area. On the PlayStation 2, you'll press
and hold the 'L1' button to establish a blue trail between your nose and your
target. In this instance, that'll be off toward your right, beyond some poles
from which you must swing. Jump your way across the gap and use the poles to
swing up onto that ledge, then grab the first apple. If you fall along the
way, you'll have to backtrack to the base of the chest and double jump up some
stairs to make another attempt.
Once you've grabbed the first apple, use your Super Sniffer skill again and
you'll locate another apple that should now be to your right, along a wall
with some debris littering the way. It's resting on the bed you landed on
when you arrived in this area near the end of the previous mission, but it's
behind a chest so it's not immediately visible under normal circumstances.
Start toward it and you should notice a glowing yellow can off to the right.
Head toward that, grab it, then carry it over to the base of the bed and set
it down. Next, jump onto the can and from there, double jump onto the bed.
Walk around behind the chest and grab the core, at which point there are only
two remaining.
Use your Super Sniffer skill and you'll find that the next one is now off to
your left. Drop down from the bed and run over to the pile of furniture near
the base of the net you climbed in the previous mission. Jump onto the net
with a double jump, grab onto it and climb along it to the right, where the
third apple core awaits. You only have one left now. Climb back to where you
first grabbed onto the net, then drop down to a safe ledge (if you try to drop
down from where you grabbed the core, you'll fall further than Remy likes and
take damage).
Your Super Sniffer skill will tell you that the final core is back where you
first met Emile near the end of the previous mission. Grab it, then proceed a
short distance closer to that edge of the room to find Emile (you can use your
Super Sniffer skill if you lose touch, but he's not far at all from the core).
When you reach your brother, he'll point out a large ball. You can jump onto
it to roll around dangerous areas, which you should do now while collecting
apple cores. Your brother tells you to meet him by a new window sill. The
indicator at the top of the screen tells you there are 11 apples. You'll find
10 of them in the room, but the 11th one is outside the window. Grab what you
can in the room and use a double jump to leap from the ball to the bed. Now
climb up and through the hole in the window, where you can grab the final
apple on the way to where Emile is standing along the side of the building's
roof.
Emile will now instruct you to jump on a nearby rope to make your way to a
rooftop in the distance. It's easy to jump out and grab onto the rope, since
you just press the 'Action' button (on the PlayStation 2, it's 'Square') when
you near the foothold. Then you can walk along the rope, pressing 'left' or
'right' on the d-pad to adjust your balance as you proceed. Walk along the
rope to the rooftop below, then jump onto it and collect the 5 apples that
await you.
You should now be at the corner of the roof with Emile, who will tell you to
follow another rope and grab more cores. This doesn't work much differently
than the previous exercise, except that now you're running on all four paws
and have to worry less about balance. Simply jump out onto the rope and
follow the preset path while collecting the cores. There are a total of 7 of
them. When you reach the end of the final gutter, there's a small gap you
leap over to land on a brick ledge where Emile awaits you. The second mission
is over!
