Your comments needs to be on the top! After way too many tries, I jumped on TH-cam but the video did not help me. It's only when reading this comment that I managed to clear the level very easily!
I agree. You’d think the ones after this one would be harder but no. The last ones (cross ones) are the cakiest of walks compared to this one sadistic ass level.
Haha same, I also made it by just avoiding the flames somehow - I thought that was the way to do it 😇 That whole section of throwing ducks at the black oil spewing creatures is unnecessary though, they will just die when you run at them while splashing water
I broke my wrist right before this game came out so I can't play it right now (can't even hold a controller at the moment) but man I just have to say - your style of walkthrough for this kind of thing is chef's kiss *perfect*. Breaking it down step by step in slow motion with pauses is a fantastic way to explain it all, then running it back in real time is just great. Subscribed.
This is the only level in the entire game that I actually had to exit and come back to due to its difficulty. I tried it again after playing some other levels and literally beat it on the first attempt. I was genuinely shocked. This video randomly popped into my feed after already completing the level, and I feel so dumb for not thinking to throw the duck at that damn frog. I just ran all the way from the beginning of the stage to the end without stopping. It makes the part with the flamethrowers chasing you much harder since touching the goo for even an instant will slow you down enough to get caught by the flamethrowers.
Amazing walkthrough! I love that you showed us both, a slowed down/paused version with explaining as well as the full speed. Like most here I also didn’t know you can throw the duck
This. Fucking. Level has had me in a chokehold for the last 2 days, but I finally beat it somehow. Reading the comments I’m glad others found it difficult too 😅
I had to throw the duck about fifteen times to clean away all the oil before I could sprint across. The exact camera angle and the slow-mo play really helped me a lot! tThanks for this awesome video! The rest I kinda trial and errored it, BUT that wall of FIRE was a three day thing! for about thirty minutes a time!
This was really helpful, thank you! The hardest part in my opinion was outrunning the flamethrowers, but I think the rubber duck slightly speeds up the running.
One trick I picked up in the last game; at the very end of your jump, do an attack. You get an extra bit of time in the air. It helped a lot in this level
Same, I think I did at least 20 tries as well. But I managed eventually though (without guides). Spoilers for the end of the game: I thought for sure this would be the hardest level in the game....but then the master level happened. I think that took me twice as long.💀
Thank you for how you slowed down and explained each piece. I was finally able to beat it. Whoever designed this level is diabolical, and whoever greenlit it is an asshole. Was hard enough without the stupid missile shooting frog and extremely fast flamethrowers.
Smashed my face against this level over 30 times. Beat it first try after the trick with throwing multiple ducks before triggering the fast flamethrowers. Thanks for the sanity save lol.
I couldn't get past the rockets and didn't even think to throw the duck (or didn't know I could). I've 100% the first three galaxies and have three of the lost squares to go so this will help massively. Such a great game but damn, some of the levels are pretty hard... for me at least.
You sir are a fucking legend, I've been bashing my head against this for far too long to find I can stop at the flamethrower fuck and clear a path has been a revelation, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Wow. I refused to watch any walkthrough until I completed this on my own. After an HOUR of straight gameplay (and burning myself out to play anymore lol) I finally completed it. I came here to watch someone else do it to see if I just sucked. I did not do ANY of these helpful things lol. I didn’t know you could throw the duck. I had to sneak in under the homing missiles the frog fired at you. I didn’t throw the duck at any of the slime monsters. I just barely made it through that section and killed the pumpkin. Then when the mines attached themselves to me I did the spin attack to remove them WHILE IN THE MADNESS of the lava monsters. Talk about making things harder on myself….
That first enemy was annoying until realising you can throw the duck. I found going back when the little enemies attach can be useful, as long as you leave a bit of the breakable platform. Still need to finish the last part now.
Thank you so much, I really want to 100% the game, and I was starting to think this level would block me from doing that. Still got the X button levels and the Grand Master level ahead of me though, so we’ll see how I fare lol
i managed to figure out and complete this whole game by myself, but for this single level. had no idea I was supposed to throw the duck at the frog. I tried everything I could to outrun the missiles but without having more water and the floor disappearing there was no way thanks for the video (btw you might want to lower the audio on slowed down video as that sound is grating)
this game sometimes... i cleared trough that frog without throwing the duck on my first try but died later on and since then I wasn't freaking able to get trough him again...had to search for a guide like this to get the idea of throwing the damn duck haha
If anyone is still attempting this today, I found it easier to go to the left after getting the 2nd duck. That way you only have to worry about one fire stream
When I first dealt with this level I said “FK IT”. Then proceeded with the rest of the game,took me FOUR DAYS to beat “Great Master Challenge” and then came back to this one for the Platinum. I was scared to even begin playing it. I watched all tutorials and entered the level. But I became SO good beating GMC that I did it WITH THE FIRST TRY and WITHOUT THE HACK 😂😂😂 So,thanks for this video.
Never once thought to throw the duck at the missile toad......fml. However one extra tip. Charge your spin attack before you jump to the platform with the little guys that attach to you, that way you can spin them off as soon as they grab on and you dont have to try and race to the end
I got caught out a few times on this level, but never by the chasing flame throwers. I didn’t even realise it was a thing people struggled with until seeing other videos. I just grabbed the duck and ran through to the gooey bastard at the end every time. I’ve got no idea why this guy takes so long with the set up to this part.
Veteran gamer here but my god this level design sucked so bad. Too many random physics and god forbid should you touch one pixel of lava or flame 🙄 There’s another one which is just as dumb in the same galaxy. The vertical one with the running on the walls sucks too. Not as hard but very thin margin of error with the electric boards.
Honestly once you realize you can throw the duck its not too bad. Took me about 15 attempts. I agree so far for me at least its definitely one of the hardest so far.
The design overall is great, this one is bad because throwing the duck isn’t intuitively obvious. The rest are supposed to be challenging levels which you learn via muscle memory. Failing them is expected, and if you’re not good at platformers you will fail a lot. But the design is great.
@@mjc0961 idk what to tell you man you can get a head start on that section by lasering over to the second platform before the flamethrowers start, thats what I did
THIS is the hardest one any other level was easy but this shit is the hardest i did it with no guide i found out about it randomly and it took me near half an hour to complete
This is the second hardest level in the whole game, only the master level is worse. Took me a while to get past them (didn't use any guides). I did it without throwing the ducks though, I tried it a few times but I found that if you move as quickly as possible, you could outrun the missiles and flamethrowers. When I threw the ducks it slowed me down and I was more likely to get hit for some reason.
yeah i've spent over an hour on this one level and gave up lmao, switched to Spider-Man 2. I'll try again tomorrow now that I've watched this. The flamethrowers after the pumpkin guy just wreck me, level seems more unfair than challenging atm.
Tip. After you clear a path on the oil path. Run in a circle to build up some momentum before you run. Helped a lot.
Your comments needs to be on the top! After way too many tries, I jumped on TH-cam but the video did not help me. It's only when reading this comment that I managed to clear the level very easily!
this should be pinned as it gave me 100% sucess rate
THANK YOU, I got it in one try after this
God damn this helped a lot Ty for the tip
YOOOO THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤❤❤ I couldn’t beat it at all until I tried this
The frog shooting rockets is the most egregious and unnecessary shit in the history of video games.
I was shouting the same thing while playing!
I didn’t know you could throw the duck at it, which made if even harder.
Just (better) go quick, hence called “sprint” 😉 no need throwing duck
lolcano
@@Ultra_Kumayou can press square and do a spin move and it disappears
I had no idea you could just throw the damn duck at it either. I lost count how many times that cocksucker blew me up
Glad to see that I wasn’t the only one that hated this challenge level. The other three Square Voids are a cakewalk in comparison.
I agree. You’d think the ones after this one would be harder but no. The last ones (cross ones) are the cakiest of walks compared to this one sadistic ass level.
The column of fire is just unfair.
Why is this literally the hardest level in the game lmao
I was too stupid to realise you could launch the rubber duck at the Frog XD
The master challenge level was more annoying IMO. But yeah, damn I was stuck here forever
Levels like this become the stuff of legend.
I guess you hadn't gotten to the master level when commenting this. But this one was def one of the hardest out of all the shape challenges
If my 10 years old son can beat this, you can too
One of the worst, most frustrating, unnecessarily difficult levels I’ve ever played in a platformer, and at the age of 41, I’ve played a lot of them.
Crash Bandicoot 1 2 3 were hardcore too… to get the 101, 102 and 103 percent was harder than Astro Bot to be honest.
Absolutely love this game... But fuck this level lol
There's no way I could have beaten that level without this video, thank you for posting.
I’d already cleared but throwing the duck at the start was genius i didn’t even think to do that.
At least i know how I can get past that lil POC 😤😤
Right I’m just now knowing that we can throw the duck smh
The missiles were driving me mad trying to avoid them
I’m kind of impressed you actually managed to do the level WITHOUT doing that.
Haha same, I also made it by just avoiding the flames somehow - I thought that was the way to do it 😇 That whole section of throwing ducks at the black oil spewing creatures is unnecessary though, they will just die when you run at them while splashing water

These are some of the best videos for this game. Slowing it down and explaining each part helped me out tremendously!
It did help a little bit but it's the hardest level in the game
Those flamethrowers are impossible to outrun! FUCK THIS LEVEL!!!
My thoughts exactly I cant outrun them!!
I managed to outrun them 1 out of 4 times, and I still don't know why it worked those times and not the other times. Dum level :(
@@MrWildcard531 I was able to do it once I changed my viewing angle. Weird but they seemed to move slower when I did.
@glovedcop69 No, makes no difference. The black stuff, using the laser and not getting a run up are all speed losses, the camera doesn’t affect it.
@jaybee4288 that's weird then I just had good timing once I watched this video and changed my angles I just had a stroke of good luck then
This is the only level in the entire game that I actually had to exit and come back to due to its difficulty. I tried it again after playing some other levels and literally beat it on the first attempt. I was genuinely shocked.

YOU CAN THROW THE DUCK?! This would've helped so much, thank you!
You are a legend and a godsend for this! Finally, beat it following your guide. Throwing that duck is clutch.
I didn't even think to throw the duck at the enemies. This makes it so much easier. Thanks.
Amazing walkthrough! I love that you showed us both, a slowed down/paused version with explaining as well as the full speed. Like most here I also didn’t know you can throw the duck
This. Fucking. Level has had me in a chokehold for the last 2 days, but I finally beat it somehow. Reading the comments I’m glad others found it difficult too 😅
Just wait til you get to the master challenge level... 😅
@@Ostkakan85This is way harder than the master challenge.
@@FelixS. Maybe I was just lucky then because this level took maybe 5-10 tries, but I spent WAY over 2 hours on master challenge.
@Ostkakan85 Master challenge easier than a lot of these short levels.
I had to throw the duck about fifteen times to clean away all the oil before I could sprint across. The exact camera angle and the slow-mo play really helped me a lot! tThanks for this awesome video!

This level always makes me wanna throw the controller at the tv.
😂😂 x2
This is the 1 video that finally explains a viable strategy. Thanks for the breakdown!
This was really helpful, thank you! The hardest part in my opinion was outrunning the flamethrowers, but I think the rubber duck slightly speeds up the running.
Thank you for this slowed explication. I definitely could not have done it without these step by step instructions. Appreciate you!!!
One trick I picked up in the last game; at the very end of your jump, do an attack. You get an extra bit of time in the air. It helped a lot in this level
This was by far the hardest level i ever played. Thank you for this vid. Helped me a lot.
Thank you so much. I had to pass this level after trying so many times and finally found your video, which helped me beat it.
Beat this in like 23 tries
Holy crap this was nightmare inducing.
Same, I think I did at least 20 tries as well. But I managed eventually though (without guides). Spoilers for the end of the game: I thought for sure this would be the hardest level in the game....but then the master level happened. I think that took me twice as long.💀

When you get to the flame jets turn your view to the side, and you won't have any problems outrunning them.

This was my issue too, it got so frustrating I had to turn off the game and step away for a bit.
@@GoBuddieGo I finally managed to finish that level last night but even after knowing how to do it, it still took me 20-30 attempts.
You sir are a fucking legend, I've been bashing my head against this for far too long to find I can stop at the flamethrower fuck and clear a path has been a revelation, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
THANK YOU SO MUCH I STAYED LIKE 20 MINUTES AT THIS LEVEL AND YOU HELPED ME SO MUCH

Legit the hardest level man. Just when my wife thought she is ready for some game time... she gave up. 😂
THANK YOU soooooo much!!!! This level stressed me out so bad. I was seriously considering giving up altogether. Your tips helped a lot!!!
You have to throw the duck at the frog! I had no idea :D
Thank you. I didn’t even think about throwing the duck at the frog before
You have no idea how much time this also just saved me.
This level felt like a 'what if Astro Bot was Dark Soul' 😂
Rest of the game: snooze fest easy
This level: Hardcore mode
I'm here after beating this to confirm that others besides me we cursing this level from the second attempt
Thank you so much, I really want to 100% the game, and I was starting to think this level would block me from doing that. Still got the X button levels and the Grand Master level ahead of me though, so we’ll see how I fare lol
Thank you so much for actually explaining. So many videos just do full speed walkthrough w/o explaining.
I didn't think it was too bad but I'm glad Astro included stuff like this, it's truly a game for everyone, baby and old.
Thank you, this helped immensely on this stupidly hard level
i managed to figure out and complete this whole game by myself, but for this single level. had no idea I was supposed to throw the duck at the frog. I tried everything I could to outrun the missiles but without having more water and the floor disappearing there was no way
thanks for the video (btw you might want to lower the audio on slowed down video as that sound is grating)
It is possible, you kinda have to bait him into firing the missiles to the left and then run to the right, but it’s not very reliable.
@@jaybee4288 I tried that for hours and was unsuccessful. Throwing the duck is very reliable though.
I completed all of these challenges and for some reason this was the hardest one to complete
Thank you so much, the first 1/3 of that level is crazy challenging
Mate you are an utter legend for this 👏🏻👏🏻
Last one to get and, thank you, this video is a godsend! Why didn’t I think of throwing the first duck? Feel such a fool!
Thank you for detailed tutorial! This one was a nightmare 🤬😡🥵

Thank you. Very easy with your vid. Only took 6 tries. 🤘🤘
I accidentally threw the third duck as soon as I picked it up, ran along the edge and ended up beating the level 😂
Where was tutorial when i was raging hard 😂😂😂😂 great job! ❤

Life saver of a guide! Thank you.
This and the mastery level made me wanna pull my hair out
This and master challenge were definitely the hardest levels.
The momentum loss when you get hit by the flame spitters was absolutely killing me
I got caught out a few times on this level, but never by the chasing flame throwers. I didn’t even realise it was a thing people struggled with until seeing other videos. I just grabbed the duck and ran through to the gooey bastard at the end every time.
I’ve got no idea why this guy takes so long with the set up to this part.
Really well explained, thank you! I'll give this level another go soon.
This is the exact kind of level where cheat codes should still exist… 😭
Much appreciated! Hate this level with a passion
Thank u so much I didn't realize you could throw the duck!!
This fucking level got me crazy..
I got through the first part but I can't outrun the flamethrower its like astro bot can't walk any faster

You can boost your speed by running in a little circle before you try to outrun the flamethrowers, once I found that out I beat the level.
omg thank god for this video , i didn't even know you can throw the rubber duck lol
and also **** the dev that made this lvl
This level made slam the controller onto the floor so hard I thought it was going to fall through and I flipped over the night stand!!!! I WAS PISSED
Thank you I finally finished the level
Was super tired last night but decided to do one more quick level… it was this level……. and it was not quick. 😐
Great video very helpful Thank You
Thank you so much for this guide, my god what a painful level
This is the hardest one in this game
After completing the final one Splashing Sprint wasn't too bad. Hard as hell but this was shorter and easier IMO.
Imagine playing a speedrun level and stand still to clean it with the duck!
This level for me was honestly more difficult than the Great Master Challenge
THIS is the hardest one any other level was easy but this shit is the hardest i did it with no guide i found out about it randomly and it took me near half an hour to complete
I made it past this. It was on such a zone. I don’t know if the living Force was my guide or if was Peter Tingle™️.
I beat this level and all I got was this lousy high blood pressure
Thank you so much. This video helped me with this level
This level had me SWEATING 🥵
Thank you, very helpful!
Haha I just didn’t realise you throw the duck at the frog. I was baiting and dodging the missiles it took ages.
Found this one harder than the Golden statue challenge. Lots of rage and despair.
In 4:05 your frog just exploded. Did I miss something?
he threw the duck
That frog is more frustrating than the anor londo archers cot dam
Thanks to this level I don’t think this game should win game of the year
Amazing tips❤
I am so glad it wasnt just me being useless at the game... I did it in the end, but nearly at the cost of a controller 😂😂
bro you saved me!!! THANK YOU!!!
