Chained Together: Complete Walkthrough and Strategy Guide

Level 1: The Basics

1. Objective: Reach the exit together.
2. Mechanics Introduced: Moving as a unit and basic chain interaction.
3. Strategy:
   • Take turns moving around the obstacles.
   • Practice the chain’s limits to get a feel for how far you can move apart.

Level 2: Pressure Plates

1. Objective: Both players need to stand on pressure plates to open the door.
2. Mechanics Introduced: Simultaneous actions and chain tension.
3. Strategy:
   • One player stands on the first pressure plate.
   • The second player should find a way around obstacles while keeping the chain’s tension in check.
   • Once both are on the plates, the door will open.

Level 3: Spikes and Timing

1. Objective: Avoid spikes and reach the exit.
2. Mechanics Introduced: Timing and synchronized movement.
3. Strategy:
   • Observe the spike patterns before moving.
   • Move together, keeping in sync to avoid pulling each other into the spikes.

Level 4: Moving Platforms

1. Objective: Navigate moving platforms while chained together.
2. Mechanics Introduced: Platforming and coordinated jumps.
3. Strategy:
• Time your jumps carefully to land on the platforms.
• Make sure both players jump at the same time to avoid falling off.
• Use the chain to pull each other up if necessary.

Level 5: Box Puzzles

1. Objective: Move boxes onto pressure plates to unlock the exit.
2. Mechanics Introduced: Object interaction while chained.
3. Strategy:
   • Push the boxes carefully, considering the chain’s direction.
   • Use the chain to maneuver boxes into tight spaces.

Level 6: Enemy Encounter

1. Objective: Avoid or defeat enemies while making your way to the exit.
2. Mechanics Introduced: Combat or stealth elements.
3. Strategy:
   • Decide whether to fight or sneak past enemies.
   • If fighting, one player can lure while the other strikes from a safe distance.

Level 7: Split Paths

1. Objective: Navigate split paths with limited chain length.
2. Mechanics Introduced: Maximizing chain length and indirect cooperation.
3. Strategy:
   • One player may need to go left while the other goes right.
   • Work on moving to the extremes of the chain’s range to unlock different switches.

Level 8: The Final Puzzle

1. Objective: Solve a complex multi-stage puzzle to reach the final exit.
2. Mechanics Introduced: Combining all previous mechanics.
3. Strategy:
   • Use all the skills learned in previous levels.
   • Communication and coordination are crucial here.
   • Be patient and plan your moves carefully.

Additional Tips:

• Practice Makes Perfect: Revisit earlier levels if you’re struggling to master the mechanics.
• Use the Environment: Sometimes, environmental elements can be manipulated to solve puzzles.
• Be Creative: There’s often more than one way to solve a puzzle, so think outside the box.
