The Ritual Site jungle area looks deadly
I was next finding my way to one more location that is hopefully the last in this level.. the Ritual Site area that was looking really nice, but was it going to be nice to me? Well that was what I was about to find out!
Now for the fun to begin as I start heading the way required, starting off with some spike traps including ones raising from the walkway and some spinning around to try stop my progress. Easy enough at first but I can expect it to get a lot harder.
Things were suddenly getting tough as the ritualist jungle members in their masks were using some form of, sonic wave ability which hurt when caught up in it. Bushes were there to hide and run through them but I hadn't realised until I was first hurt by them this time.
When I got up a bit further though, I utilised a bush to wait out the member, letting it pass me before climbing the rope and jumping to my death, as I didn't double jump or swing properly and I would have to go back through that bit again and then continue forward.
Another attempt down and this time I got passed without dying and was then met, with multiple platforms requiring careful movements to avoid being detected and hurt.
One death was had here before managing to get over to the other side. I did get detected and hurt once but that was the only time and I continued forth.
Up the walkway I went to avoid more traps, hide in more bushes and ensure I am not caught by the tribe members again. Was getting further along with relative ease up to this point and I was happy with the progress.. until I started to die multiple times at the next set of platforms as I kept trying more and more, eventually slowing down so I would get to the third platform, followed by the next walkway with another trap coming out of the tree.
Next obstacle that was causing me a lot of grief was the moving bug platforms that go around in a circle, you could misjump like I had done or, you get hit by a flying maggot after already losing two hearts and then you were gone!
Once the many deaths were done and I got to the next checkpoint, I was able to see the light at the end of the bridge so to speak.
There was a giant boulder to be smashed through with the ram horns and I wasn't going to be playing around with these stupid plant enemies, I was running straight over, changing to the ram horns and breaking through. This leads to a slide down to the next checkpoint and what looks to be another fun section for me to play around in.
I was really interested in upgrading skills, after finding through looking in the pause menu at the skill guide that there is a skill tree too!
Looked around for it but was not successful, so I went back to Hell and ended up in the main hub where, the doors for all 7 sins were located and I went to Greed's door to pass on lucky cats, finally a use for them!
Going into the next room after speaking directly to Greed would see a slot machine available for use by using the gems, something I decided to have a good at and only really make back what I put in, not worth it.
Further into passed another door, I received a free Nate outfit and something looking so cool that I put it on right away. Following this was some dancing in a room with a new Nugget outfit for me to get, which with now both equipped I was able to enjoy, looking different yet so cool still as I keep playing but nothing on the skill tree yet.. maybe it's elsewhere or in a menu somewhere still.
