Walkthrough The Darkest Tales

After the introductory video, jump to the chest, from it to the bag on the left, and so on until you are above the table. Jump down from the shelf while holding S. On the right edge of the table is a lamp with sharp objects. If you land on these items, you will lose a life, but you will also receive the "Glorious Beginning" achievement. You need to jump over the lamp to the windowsill. Follow on and activate the table lamp.


The bear will get armor. Go right, talk to Little Red Riding Hood, then examine the first teleport mirror.

Hatred

Jump to the right, jump over sharp crystals. Run away from the wolf and jump over the spiked creature. You activate the mirror. Such mirrors perform the function of a checkpoint. When you fall down, get a new ability "Heal". By holding H, you can restore health points at the cost of mana. Go left to the glowing place. Then run to the right, jump up and follow the right over the pit into which the wolf fell. You will soon receive dual blades. To attack with blades, use the CTRL or LMB key.


At the fork, first go right-up until a monster appears from the box. From here it will not work to harm him, so go downstairs and run to the right. Kill the bat, climb a little higher and attack the green roots. When the monster disappears, you can open the first skill. Zatem go back and go upstairs.

When you fall down at the next mirror, you will find Little Red Riding Hood. Soon a crowd of wolves will appear. You don't need to kill them. Jump up the parts of a huge wolf, move to the right and go around the opponents. In the end, you will find a mirror, and save your progress.

Follow the bridge to the right, kill the bats by jumping on the logs and examine the teleport mirror. You completed the level by 25.6%. Go further and find the grandmother's house. Wolves will appear. It is not necessary to kill everyone. You need to run to the right and stand on the logs, and then wait for the falling coals to break the logs. Go to the right and jump up the ledges (going down further along the rails is pointless). Activate the mirror and follow to the right.


Keep moving, killing enemies and avoiding green objects. At the fork, go down to the right. Defeat the bats in the dark cave and get the new Berserk ability. Going left and down is useless, so go up to the right. Interact with the mirror and place Berserk in an empty slot (if you have 1 health point, you deal double damage). Whichever way you follow, in any case, go up and you can activate the teleport mirror, indicating that the location has been completed by 57%.

How to defeat Little Red Riding Hood?

Soon you have to fight Little Red Riding Hood. At first shewill spawn and perform two moves: a boomerang blade throw and a dash. In the second case, you need to jump over it and immediately attack from behind. In the first case, you need to jump over the blade twice until it returns to her hands, and then attack twice. When Little Red Riding Hood falls from above, get ready to bounce, because waves of dark energy will disperse in different directions. After the victory, you will receive a new ability - dash. It is done by pressing Shift.


Run to the right and make a couple of dashes to overcome the traps. The level will end soon.

naivety

Activate the nearest teleport mirror. Go to the house and get a magical charge. Hold the F key to charge, and then the next attack will deal more damage. But you will waste mana. The skill can be improved. Walk to the right and kill the bats. Jump on the leaves to the right and up. Activate the mirror. Dash to the boot on the left and jump on its upper edge.


Jump to the right, keep moving. Perform a jump dash to cover a greater distance. Do the same, moving to the left and up to the new mirror. Kill all opponents. Thorns appear on red flowers after a while, and lowering leaves will throw you down after a few seconds. So be careful. And don't jump if you see spikes at the top. Follow right, up, use?ya jerks. Get off the ropes in time - these are the tongues of carnivorous plants. Jump up and get to the mirror on the left.

Jump on the tongues, killing the bats to open the exit. You will then unlock the Hook skill. The hook can be thrown with ALT or RMB. Cling to the button, jump down and cling to the button on the right to collect the new Powerful Healing ability. Return to the mirror and install it. Jump to the left and climb up the two tongues, jumping between them. Soon you will find a mirror.


Follow to the right and soon you will find a new teleport mirror. You completed the level by 30.1%. Kill enemies by jumping on trampolines (but not by jumping, but by dashing) and activate a new mirror. Then there will be a storm front. You need to navigate the ledges while avoiding being hit by lightning. And be sure to pick up the new Dash Damage feature, which will be on the spikes on the right. Keep moving, jumping up the leaves. Soon there will be a teleport-mirror. Level passed by 57.1%.

Swing on the button and get to the top mirror. Keep moving to the right using various objects and buttons.

Lock

In the giantess's house, move to the right to jump out of the jar. Go to the right and jump up between the cups to grab the hook point with the rope. Jump to the right, follow to the right and drop down. Forward??di will be a box that says DON'T OPEN. Hit the fork and kill the enemies. Enter the box, jump down and kill some more cookies. Get outside and finish off other enemies. To the right is a saucepan. First, go down under it to the right and find experience points. Go back and jump on the pot. Jump to the right, swing and find a mirror just below.

Follow right and into the pit. Kill all enemies and get out. There is a coffee maker on top. You can hit its glowing leg to pour a hot drink on your opponents. Soon there will be another hole to the right. Jump down. Jump on different objects avoiding mold. Go down and down. Hook on a wooden beam so that the weight slides onto the scales. Then hook onto the scales, then jump down and dash into the hole on the left. At the very bottom you will find a new weapon - a bow.

Kill all enemies. First, head to the right to find the new "Hunter" feature. Then go left and shoot at the cracked floor. Climb higher, shoot again, and at the very top you will encounter a rotten egg. Get to the surface and follow to the right. Shoot the hanging trampoline to make it fall down and use it to jump onto the can. Jump to the right with the hook, go down the hole and kill the rotten egg. After the explosion, you will fall down. On the left there is a green projectile. Break the bars and let snar??d will crash into an obstacle on the right. Climb higher and higher avoiding green projectiles. Outside, move right up or down (where the eggs are) to find a teleport mirror. The level has so far been passed by 46.7%.

Head right until you find a mini-boss - a stone swan on wheels. Wait for the swan to throw a fiery egg, then aim with your bow and shoot so that the egg explodes at the moment when the boss passes by it. Unfortunately, I haven't found a workable way to dodge the swan, so you'll probably lose health before you can kill it. For winning a battle, you will receive a double jump.
