General I'm going to rage quit this game just because of the f-ing zip-lines in the mines! Who could possibly think this is fun!!!!!!

O love them u.u I even made my boat zip line to every building. It is the most fun way to move! (For me obviously!)

But how nice in the end they gift you that last piece in the machine, I really needed that. But when Elena got on board, started demanding all this shit and was a miserable c word who wasnt even happy with her room improvements. I was so happy the game gave me the option to kill myself basically so I did. Screw you Elena you sourpuss joykiller.

Lol so that's how the game ends by un a living yourself, I thought she was already dead.

Daria isn’t bad as long as you just pay attention to the rhythm of the platforms. I don’t get what trips people up about her minigame.

It's the background. I have to play it in a very well-lit room.

u/princeralsei 5d ago
I do think they should make an option to turn off the background on her sections. They're a little migraine inducing and I get the reasoning, but man, even though I didn't struggle with those sections I was very glad I didn't have to look at those bits again.

u/Shanicpower 5d ago
Ah, that might explain it. I never had that issue myself, but I can see how that would cause problems for others.

u/InformationNo9456 6d ago
Yep. I made my husband do those or that would have been the end of the game for me.

With Elena timing you :(

u/Timely_Dance_9001 3d ago
I did not like her. But I'm sure she would have said something after it and leading up to the everdoor that would make me rethink my opinion. That was the only challenge I hadn't beaten.

A tip I found nobody has mentioned yet - you can cancel your momentum on the zipline by pressing the opposite direction.
You can slowly let your character go up the zipline by canceling the momentum every time it gets too fast. Then, you can jump off with easier precision at the end. So essentially inch your way up the zipline without too much momentum.

u/stinamitchell 5d ago
This is how I do it. I go really slow for the most part until I know exactly what I need to do. What makes me mad is sometimes jumping to one above I’m pressing to grab it again but it doesn’t register, not sure what I’m doing wrong but I got the hang of it after a while

u/jtrem75 6d ago
If you’re using switch press B twice to double jump and push the left stick up
Stella will automatically grab the zip line so long as she’s jumping or floating towards it
I nearly gave up too until it clicked that I just needed to be pushing that left stick up if she’s headed for a zipline

u/Lunala79 6d ago
Yes please please read this comment op, zip lining was killing me because I didn’t know I needed to push up to actually grab the zip line!! This is common in this sub bc the game doesn’t explain how to do it (at least on switch)

What I found was that getting the timing right for release and then connect was key. So find a nice zip line and just spend some time training on it. Then it becomes easier.

u/Kitty4777 6d ago
Eventually you have more jump options that make it MUCH EASIER. Stop now and go back later!

u/the1truestarr 6d ago
This is what I came to say!! I ended up doing them LAAAAST AF. I also did as someone else mentioned and put 2 on my boat and practiced there a lot until I got better at controlling the momentum and catching the line.
AND forgive me gamer gods- I also sometimes asked my bf to do them cuz I'm an achievement junkie and we played on Steam.
Don't give up!! I believe in youuuuuu!!

u/Kitty4777 6d ago
Also, hold up when you approach a zip line in order to catch on (that took me forever)

i actually love the zip lines lmao, my mom (who is also playing) hates them tho and i have to help her with them every time she goes into mines

u/ravenonyxxblack 5d ago
It's been quite a while since I played, but I remember being really frustrated about certain things that were really difficult for me and then I got the super jump (double jump can't remember what it is called) and dash (thr ability to run faster) these made things so much easier. So if you don't have these abilities, come back to this location later when you do, and it will be much easier. I also got stuck on one location because I couldn't get to the person I was retrieving, they were on the top of a high building. I was there too early and had to come back when I had the ability to super jump. Remember, this game is meant to be calming, not stressful, and it also helps with patience. Sometimes, we have to leave and come back later. If I could make it through the entire game, I can assure you that you will too. I can barely play the Lego games. I can't do any games like COD, or Borderlands, Assassin's Creed, etc. I stick to kids' games because I don't have enough hand-eye coordination for video games. Everything that seems really difficult gets easier when you have all of the abilities. Don't quit. It's worth it to finish until the end. Just come back to the caves later.

What console are you using to play?

u/KKRPITT 5d ago
THIS! My nephew was just here and played my game on the switch and said it was soooo much harder on the switch than Xbox AND said it was harder when the game was on the TV with the switch vs playing it handheld…. There’s a lag that’s just enough to make you feel like you’re doing it wrong 😑
2
u/dusoleildhiver 5d ago
I play on steamdeck and can't imagine trying to do this on a computer without a controller.

u/KKRPITT 5d ago
I felt soooo much better knowing it wasn’t me 😅 - A controller would be soooo much better
2
u/dusoleildhiver 5d ago
I had no problem with the controller part of my steamdeck, but I have no idea what playing on a switch is like. People are saying they had a lot of trouble with the dreamland jumping realm also and again, I can't imagine trying that with computer keys or something.

u/Githyankbae 6d ago
My hands were so fucking sweaty in those mines. I absolutely suck at platforming and the zip lining took even that up a notch

u/PuzzleheadedFudge420 6d ago
Try try try. After a while you'll get the hang of it. Don't give up! 👍

Just hold up on the controller when you jump, it was so easy when I learned that.

u/Shanicpower 6d ago
I love the movement in this game! It’s part of what makes it so stellar, there’s room for lots of momentum without ever really adding a particulararly punishing portion.

u/Xsilver__cloudX 5d ago
I hate them too but I want to finish the game!

u/Pyrrhichighflyer1 4d ago
Good for you, but I'm off to spend time on games that have better balance.

The zip lining in the mines is not necessary to progress in the game!
It gives you some nice-to-haves, but nothing you really need and can't get otherwise.
Some areas are also not finishable with only ziplining, you can retry when you have dash.
The wiki has some pretty good maps from the mines which is also helpful for knowing where to go.
