Need help reaching an area in PM:TTYD!! !

Post Reply New Topic

I am playing the Nintendo Switch version of classic GameCube game Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and I DESPERATELY need help!! !

How do I reach the tree behind the rock with the Shine Sprite in Twilight Trail (Chapter 4)?

I tried everything including changing party members, curling up into a rolling ball state, hitting grass with my hammer to create a path but...no dice!

Please help

Thanks in advance!! !

According to the AI on Google Search:
"To get the Shine Sprite behind the fallen tree in Twilight Trail, use the rolling ability you learned to roll under the tree, and then jump repeatedly in the area behind the tree to locate the hidden Shine Sprite box. It may take several attempts to hit the correct spot in the "fourth wall" area where the sprite is hidden.

Learn the Roll ability: You must first learn the rolling ability to access the area where the Shine Sprite is hidden.
Roll under the fallen tree: Go to the fallen tree in the Twilight Trail area.

Locate the hidden area: Roll under the tree to access the area on the other side.

Find the Shine Sprite: Once in the hidden area, you will see a faint shadow or the area where the Shine Sprite should be. Jump in this spot several times. You'll need to jump around behind the tree to hit the hidden Shine Sprite box."

I will show this to you, but skip to about 59 seconds

^I got the Shine Sprite on complete accident!! !

I think my problem was that I simply wasn't jumping in the right place

This was my favorite game on the GameCube as a kid, I really loved the remastered soundtrack in the switch version.

^me too, I love the BGM arrangements in the Switch version as well!! !

Now I am stuck on a puzzle in the Palace of Shadow where there are 4 doors and some kind of secret hidden that will allow me to proceed to next area but...I cannot figure out what the secret IS!! !

I know it must involve those flames though...

EDIT: Never mind, I figured it out!

Also, is there a point before the final boss or whatever where I could revisit the Moon and the fortress?

I missed some Star Pieces!

Where do I find the cake mix?

I cannot buy it from a store!! !


EDIT: Never mind, I figured it out!

Now I need help with a puzzle in the Palace of Shadow that says:

"The 7 hewn by a fell hand"

"Onward, onward, onward..."

"Retreat, retreat..."

WHAT?!?

PLEASE help!

Thanks in advance!! !


EDIT: I have tried EVERYTHING including hitting the blocks 5 times and nothing is happening!! !

This is making me go CRAZY lol


EDIT 2: Never mind I figured it out!! !

"Onward" referred to hitting the backward block 3 times while "retreat" referred to hitting the forward block 2 times

Now I am on the final battle against the Shadow Queen and it is VERY HARD!! !! !!

Even the boss in Zelda Skyward Sword The Imprisoned might be easier!! !

What is the strategy for fighting Shadow Queen?!?

Please help me

Thanks in advance!

***bump***

My brother said there is no special strategy for fighting the Shadow Queen but there has to be!! !

She MUST have a weak point but I have yet to actually discover it...

Even the official players' guide said the best strategy is to just keep attacking the Shadow Queen's body while another party member attacks her hands to stop her from regenerating HP which is what I have been doing the whole time!! !

But...what I haven't been doing is using Vivian to avoid the Queen's lightning attacks or equipping the "Feeling Fine" Badge to negate all status effects which might make a difference

The HP regeneration is a MAJOR problem and a big part of why the fight is so hard!

In another game I have been playing Zelda Skyward Sword, I realize that the fight against Levias & Ocular Parasite Bilocyte was similar to Princess Peach & Shadow Queen however the strategies for both bosses are COMPLETELY different

In both battles you had to free the corrupted (Levias & Princess Peach) from the corrupters (OPB & Shadow Queen) but with Skyward Sword you had to fly around and hit targets on Levias in order to free him then you had to confront the one corrupting him Bilocyte, much in the same way as the Shadow Queen in Thousand-Year Door!

So that means in reality, you were NOT truly fighting Levias or Princess Peach!! !

I uh actually...BEAT THE FREAKING SHADOW QUEEN!! !! !!

Seriously!! !

I think staying one step ahead of the boss in conjunction with utilizing Vivian was the key to the whole fight!

Although I believe utilizing Vivian is what allowed me to stay one step ahead of the Shadow Queen because I was able to conserve my HP by avoiding the awful lightning attack

I did all of this without needing the "Feeling Fine" Badge BTW
