Cave Story ~ Doukutsu Monogatari: Walkthrough




The Waterway




This is quite a short section, but it's unique enough to warrant its own chapter.

From the start, go left. Kill everything that can be killed, collecting the powerups. You'll notice the flying blobs from Grasstown are back. The first leg of this is pretty much a get-the-powerups-after-the-boss run. Soon you'll descend down into water.

Jump into the flowing current, but be ready to jump off the floor to avoid spikes. Let the current carry you along, and you'll eventually come to an endless looping current. Face left and keep shooting to uncover some hearts in the bottom part. When you're ready, jump off the floor after the bottom section and curve left to take the left fork.

Take out the Jellyfish from your safe platform using the Bubbler and the Blade. The Fireball can pick off the ones at the bottom. When there are no visible ones, jump into the current, but be ready to shoot any that were off screen. Try to ride the current in an S shape - study the flows of water and use the movement keys to your advantage. At the end, jump out of the water onto the alcove. There's a door and a roof eye. This is NECESSARY if you are taking the hard route, because otherwise Curly goes from comatose to dead soon, but if you're taking the easy route you can skip it. You'll be passing up a savepoint, however.

Hard routers, rest at the bed to drop Curly off in it. Read the computer screen twice, then read the notebook in the shelf to the left. Having learnt how to dry out flooded robots, drain the water from Curly. Talk to her a few times, and take her with you on your way out.

Outside the cabin, jump into the current and get ready for some precision jumping to avoid spikes. After a while, a mecha fish will attack.


BOSS: Mecha Fish
Just shoot stuff until it dies. Try to kill as many of the fish as possible before they balloon into pufferfish. Really though, if you had trouble on this one after the Core fight, then something is wrong. Just avoid the pufferfish, blocks, and occasional burst of red shots from the fish.

A bigger challenge on this fight is to finish it without taking damage. If you do this, you will get the Alien Medal.

At the end of the fight, hard routers will see Curly drift off. Don't worry, just wait until you land in the Mimiga Village once again.
