This metroidvania adventure takes you on a journey to uncover the mysteries tucked away in different corners of the map, and to meet various creatures along the way.

While some puzzles will only require creativity and keen observation, others will need you to locate key items. These key items can be equipped as tools to break barriers and get to difficult spots. One key item is the Top, and this can only be found by searching for Secret Eggs.

How To Get The Top

The Top is locatedin a chest beside the Peacock room. The area it’s in can only be accessed onceyou’ve found 32 Secret Eggs.

After finding your 32nd egg,you’ll hear the Peacock make a noise. This signals that the barrier blocking the next reward in its room can be obtained.

Head westto find a chest. Inside is theTop.

How To Use The Top

To use the Top,equip it by scrolling through your tools with the ‘R1’ and ‘L1’ buttons. You can also select it byopening the inventory menu. Selecting it from there will pause time in-game.

Using the Top will cause it to drop and spin while heading in one direction. It will keep going in that direction until it hits something, then it will go in the opposite direction.

Using The Top For Clearing Obstructions

The Top is useful for clearing spikes, such as in the different rooms in the bottom right areas of the map. It can be dropped from above, andit will keep spinning when it landson the ground.

TheTop can also be used to clear out loose dirt in the ground. Some areas of the map cannot be accessed because the loose dirt is blocking the way, anddropping the Top on this will clear out the area, revealing what’s hidden underneath.

If you see areas on your map where there seems to bea hidden path on the ground, this is likely someloose dirt that can be cleared out using your Top.

Some hidden paths in the walls can also be cleared out by the Top. If you see spots on the walls where the material seems to be different,try using your Top on it. It may lead to a whole new area of the map.

Using The Top As A Distraction

The Top also makes for a great tool to distract dogswith. The dogs in the upper left section of the map love to chase moving items, and the Top is perfect for that.You can drop it on the ground, and it will bounce off the walls.

While the dogs have their attention on the spinning Top,you can make your way past them safely. They will ignore you while they can see the top spinning around.Unlike the Disc,the dogs cannot pick the Top up in their mouths.

The Top will distract the dogs, even if it’s not in a place that they can reach. If the top falls into a hole while spinning,the dogs will direct their attention there.

Using The Top On Levers

Similar to the Disc,the Top can also push levers. They’re especially useful for puzzles that will require you to constantly activate a set of two levers.

In some cases,the Top is better than the Disc when it comes to pushing levers. When you’re standing in between the two levers you need to constantly activate with a tool,the Disc will return to your inventory if you collide with it.

The Top will keep on spinning even if it goes past you, andit will only stop if you pick it up.

Using The Top As A Weight

The Top also makes fora good weight that can push buttons.A Slinkis the go-to item for pushing buttons in puzzles, but you canuse the Top if you need to push two buttons at once.

The catch is that the Top will move if it has enough space to spin. That being said,it may only press the button for a short time. It’s not advisable to use it for buttons that need to be held.

For buttons in a hole withno space for the Top to spin in, it can be used as a weight to keep the button pushed down.
