Walking the Walk
In the later stages of the game, you’ll be forced to deal with monsters that
will appear out of nowhere. These creatures are released by stepping in
certain locations. You can train yourself to know the areas and not trigger
them, letting you pass almost unscathed.
The Boss Tip
When you’re tackling the end boss with Rain, keep toggling the weapon and
item select buttons between your three weapons. You’ll be able to equip the
required weapon quicker this way.
Pay Attention
There are a LOT of puzzles in Retro Helix that have their solutions explained
to you right before you do them, or the answers are on a wall opposite the
puzzle. Make sure you pay attention to everything in the game, especially
small details like wall hangings and verbal discussions, and never skip a
cinema.
