The Final Preview!

To get to the endgame, head back to Sankyo Castle. Toymonger will be outside, waiting to repair his Prototype Puppets to open the gates for you.

Actually, you can come here much earlier! Toymonger will be waiting for you as soon as you destroy the Toy Factory, so if you're daring, you can dip into Frostburn Castle right after that. You can even complete the entire castle, except for the boss and one of the chests, as soon as you have both the Pine and Mitten keys.

As he is hinting, you will need to attract the monsters using an Eau de Monster.

They really do come out in large numbers, so be careful!

You will then get the friendly puppets to open the gate as usual...

You will have to explore to find your way in through the outer walls of the castle.

Once you find your way inside the castle, the rules are pretty much the same as in Loonyland 2 - find your way to all 4 switches to unlock the next floor.

The monsters are some of the toughest in the game, and there are once again turrets to destroy you if you aren't prepared.

And sometimes you will have to be quite careful to avoid the obstacles!

And I added a third brand-new enemy just for this level! The One Punch has a massively powerful attack with a whopping 100 damage. And of course I put it in the same level as the Grizzly enemies that stun you for a long time... right after this screenshot, that puppet absolutely annihilated me!

The next floor has TWO brand-new enemies! The Spice Mice will set you on fire, which halves your armor. The Rock Gorilla has a moderately powerful stone spike attack that can hit you multiple times... and it is devastating if your defense has been reduced by the Spice Mice. Don't get combo'ed!

The second floor has some harder rooms to reach the switches. This one has one of those mazes with invisible walls that pop up when you touch or attack them. Good luck!

The Baron boss fight is much the same, except that the floor is slippery! It takes a little getting used to.

After you've gotten the Bear Key, you must ascend to the highest point in the land. You will need the Wing Boots to walk on the clouds and traverse the final area.

Once you get to the end of this area, only the final battle waits for you. Good luck! I won't spoil it, but I added just a little extra. :)

And of course, once you win, after the mind-blowing ending, you will start over in Madcap Mode. I hope you have fun with it! Try to get all the achievements and unlock all the modifiers!

The next post will be the release announcement...
