Path of the Dog (P. Flame) - Animal Well Walkthrough - Neoseeker

Hey, welcome back. We're going to go after the last flame now, in the "Dog Area" portion of the map. We've already explored a large portion of this map, so we're going to reference areas you've been to (and grab a couple things we can get now).

First, note there's really two portions to this dog map area. The left portion and the upper portion. There's a couple things we can get in the left portion really quick. drill pipe slips

Return to the save point northwest of dog disc area (in the left portion of the dog map). We can now light the Candle in room to the southwest of that (the dark room).

From here, head left to the "Switch Room" on the far left of this area (the one above the dog). We didn't get this last time, but now you can reach the upper left exit here for a new portion of the map. We'll call this the "Happy Face Room" (look at the map to see why!).

Either way, there are two chinchillas here. Get between them and throw a firecracker straight up (or down) and they'll run away, hitting the two buttons here to open the way to a chest, where we can get a Red Egg. You can also throw your frisbee and have it bounce between them and forcing them to the sides.

OK, backtrack now all the way to the long ladder northeast of the Egg Room. Take it up and enter the northern part of the Dog Area.

Here, there is a Catfish Pipe. It's dumb, but we have bubbles now. Use it and it will take you to the "Sine Wave" room we've been in before. Use the Catfish Pipe here and it'll drop you out near the waterfall by the long ladder near the Egg Room. But! We get a chest here for the Sweet Egg at least!

Head back and go north of the first catfish you rode, to see a Slinky Puzzle that we've never done. There's two red buttons and one yellow button here. Drop your slinky on the far-left hole to open up the door to the right.

Go through now and jump over the boxes to the ladder (I guess the dog has his own box system too?!). Go south now for a Match from the chest.

Now, for the sake of exploring, go back up and ride the boxes down. Near the very bottom, get in the right cubby (the one with all the vines). There is a hidden ladder above you. Use your bubble to reach it and go up to unlock a door in the northern screen! We'll need that later!

Now, head back to the slinky puzzle room and we can continue.

Now, from the Save Point near the Slinky Puzzle, go left until you pass the three dog room, and can go down. Do so and you'll be in an area with a Candle. Get your firecracker ready and go into the area, kill the ghost, then use your disc on the lever to open the way to the candle. Light it! Another candle down! You can hit the button here to open the way to the left now.

Head left and note the stalagmites. You can hit them down with your yoyo. Do so on every one and you can then hit the yellow button on the upper left. We'll have to completely break the stalagmite that dropped with the ladder, but leave the rest in place and continue to the left.

We're now in another "Switch Room". This one has a couple of goals, but let's get the secret here first. You want to go straight down near where you entered. Aiming for the bottom-right corner, using your disc and switches here to find a chest with the Upside Down Egg.

Sadly, once you get it we need to drop down and backtrack back to the switch room. We'll make it worth your while. As you go north to the north portion of the Dog Area, head left to the giant pond. With the Animal Flute, you can play for the turtles here and they'll show up and reward you with a chest you can grab for the Evil Egg. Now, why do they have this thing!?

Head upwards using the levers on the screen to the right and go back to the switch room. This time, go down and left. Kill the ghost if you haven't already, then light the Candle here and hit the switch!

We can now go up or left. Let's go left first.

This choice leads us to a "Chinchilla Puzzle". This guy is trapped, but there's four buttons here. Getting the two on the right is easy, as is the upper left one: just use the crank and lure him towards you. The bottom one is a bit toucher. Lure him off the box, then raise it to the top, then quickly get to the left side to lure him down, unlocking the door in here. This lets us get the chest here for a Key.

So... Between the Ostrich and this guy, we are definitely monsters!

Go back and head up now. This next room is very dark. Here you want to follow the left wall up (there's a stalagmite you can knock down) and go to left screen. This screen has some nice lights and a Kangaroo. Here head down and into the right cubby to find a chest with the Egg As A Service.

I wonder if the person placing these eggs works in IT? Anyways, to the left is a circular recess? Weird. Mark it on your map and head back.

Now, this dark room has all the stalagtite's ever and a giant bat hiding out. This is now the Bat Room. There's a candle here too but we're out of matches. Bah...

Still, head to the right (avoid the hole in the floor to the lower right) and we'll go right a screen, unlocking that room.

We now need to backtrack there. Be sure to throw your disc so the dog is distracted and then use the crank here. Quickly lift the block out of the way, and run and go up the stairs!

In this room, play your flute at the flute stand to unlock the final warp point. Nice! Now, go left to the Marlin Area and use the Save Point.

Now... we can actually go several screens to the left here, by throwing our disc against the wall in the screen to the right. Ride it and go left, past several "Marlin Screens" to a chest at the end. Open it for the Forbidden Egg.

Head back now and go right a screen. Use your slinky to head upwards, going north a screen and then left a screen to a puzzle room.

This puzzle has green buttons and moving blocks. This one is a bit tricky, but clever. See that green button on the left? If you put your slinky to fall on it and run right, you won't make it in time. Instead, put your slinky one space over to the left. Now, go right and hit the "=" button to make your slinky go. It will raise the block for you and give you access to the chest here for the Brown Egg.

From here, go to where you entered the room. See how it is a staircase? Put the slinky at the top, going let, and quickly head left to get on the box. You'll ride up and can go left into the next screen.

This is another puzzle room, but a very easy one. Go down to the left and throw your frisbee to the left. Let it bounce around and head back up. We want to drop our slinky as far left as you can get, then just let the disc do it's thing. We will be rewarded with a Reference Egg for this!

OK, head back to the right now, past the Bear Head to the next right screen. This screen has you putting your slinky down on the right of the button and jumping from block to block. The last one is a tight jump, but you can make them all with a running jump.

This next area is really a big open area. Let me guide you though as it will be IMPORTANT soon.

Go up the ladder on the right, then left to go up a screen. Here, use your key at the top and head right. Note that you could take the lower path, hit the stalagmite, and go right that way.

From here, we have an upper area with some platforms. Note the lever at the bottom. This opens the way to the right. Go down, hit it and go right.

This room is the TRAPDOOR ROOM. What you want to know here is that there's a lever below the MIDDLE trapdoor. Note that to the right the room is blocked off. Go down the middle trapdoor.

Ignore the squirrel here and hit the lever. Note that it makes a convenient platform to the right. Go right and check out the screen to the right. It's the flame!

Go back left and use the platform to head up a screen. You can now enter the screen to the right. It is important to remember what you did to get here. You need to repeat it soon.

You'll find yourself in the M. Disk Shrine Screen. This... this is bad. They want the Mock Disk to be put in this shrine. Oh man...

That means, going back to the Dog Shrine, and taking it. Then bringing it all the way here... all while the dog chases you.

This isn't an exactly easy part of the game as it is one long chase sequence. You will have to map out the way to get here, but honestly it involves just going up to the northern part of the Dog Area (from after you release the Dog Spirit) to going left, hitting the crank, going up, going right and getting past the "Green Button Blocks", then getting into this wide area and retracing your steps. Some notes:

We can now drop down and get the P. Flame.

We also get a trophy for doing this of course!
