How hard can this game be? Fighting against the winds in Celeste

I am back with another episode of my Celeste series. We narrowly escaped from an old hotel where Mr. Oshiro tried his best to make Madeline his guest but after some harsh words from the other personality of Madeline, he got mad and chased us nearly to death.

We met with the old lady again!

Madaline was not too excited to meet her. The old lady laughed at us for attempting to climb Celeste Mountain. She still gave us an option to leave from a short cut but we are too resilient to do that.

We moved on and our next chapter starts, the Golden Ridge. We were warned to stay aware of the winds. I didn't think they would be that much of a problem but I was wrong.

The winds made it a bit challenging. Sometimes the directions of the winds will change from one scene to the other or it will stop in the middle of the jump and the character will not go as far as you originally though. It was a fun challenge.

But I still think the difficulty was not as bad as the previous chapter. I hated the hotel with my guts!

This chapter introduced a lot of new platforming challenges. It used a lot of bubbles, spikes and moving platformers which the character can control.

It wasn't a long chapter but some of the sections were a bit more challenging, especially collecting those berries. I tried to collect as much as I could and didn't leave anyone behind once I saw them. But I still missed many in this chapter which I got to know after the chapter ended and I didn't get the cassette which unlocks the B-side. I am not even sure if there is a B-side in this chapter.

At the end of the chapter Madeline reached a Gondola ride and Theo, the other explorer, joined us. We saw Theo last time in the Hotel trying to get out of it. It's a good thing he made it out too.

We started our Gondola ride and Madeline had a panic attack in the middle of the ride but Theo was there to help her and taught her a breathing technique to calm down. It worked perfectly and after some time the ride started again. It was a relief for both the climbers.

Here are my stats for this chapter. Even though I felt that this chapter was not as hard as the previous one, it still took me almost one and a half hours and 323 deaths! But the surprising part for me is the missing 28 berries. I didn't miss any intentionally. They must be hiding good and I will do these chapters again to get all the berries.

I almost forgot to tell you that Theo is an "InstaPix" influencer and likes to take selfies to share them with his followers look at this selfie which they took just after the Gondola ride got stuck and Madeline was scared.

Thanks for reading!

Until the next chapter...
