AMBER GETS A GHOULISH MAKEOVER
After a brush in with a bunch of ancient annoyances Cooper rushes through the door to the Archives only to find a daunting figure waiting for him, luckily Cooper will go on to fight bandaged brutes another day, as the figure turns out to be Crivens who takes a subtle bow as Cooper comes into view. “Greetings again, Sir.” the kindly butler remarks, “Good to see you have made it safely thus far. But I have far better news than that – I have found Miss Amber!” Crivens leads Cooper around the large bookcase to reveal Amber in the center of the room, massaging her wrist as the last bit of rope falls onto the floor. The couple rush over to each other and collectively sigh as they hold hands. “At last! No thanks to you, I’ve been freed by that smelly old butler guy!” Amber snaps before approaching the situation more delicately. “Sigh, I suppose you’ll be wanting a hug now…” Leaping at the invitation Cooper embraces Amber and the two share a moment of solace inside the manic mansion.
Resting his chin in Ambers’ shoulder, Cooper is the first to speak, “Sorry, I kinda got held up on the way! But at least you’re okay. C’mon, let’s go home. I think there’s a Soccer game on TV Tonight” a round of applause as he singlehandedly manages to destroy the mood entirely. “Groan! You’re kidding!” Amber moans, “tie me up to the chair again!” Suddenly the lights in the Archives begin to flicker as a looming shadow stretches across the couple, Amber looks up and gasps! From around the corner a large mechanized pair of legs hobble around a bookshelf, housing a small balding man with wild white hair in the top. As Amber and Cooper begin to plot their escape the man raises a finger into the air and clears his throat, “Not so fast! You won’t want to show yourself in public when I’m finished with you!” The mechanized man withdraws a Ray-gun from within his lower half and takes aim at Amber! With a brilliant flash of green light the professor manages to hit his intended target. Amber writhes in pain as she clutches her face in her hands. I hope you’re ready for a shocking reveal…
Once your energy has been decided at a mere 5 Health Points, Amber will whip around revealing her new grotesque Ghouly look as she screams. Cooper returns a scream of his own, but what really sets him for a Super Scary Shock is the way Ghouly-Amber blows him a subtle kiss shortly after, eugh. Since your energy has been set so low, this Super Scary Shock sequence will drain your life to nothing if you manage to mess it up, so do your best to solve the sequence and you’ll be ready to tackle the problem at hand; restoring Amber to her slimmer self with the aid of the Halls’ Cook. Once Crivens has finished his speech the Challenge Door on the opposite end of the room will open and two Skeletons will shamble in towards Amber. While your health is rather low here, the Skeletons are focused completely on Amber, so if you rush in and protect your Damsel in Disgust you won’t take any damage. Once you’ve finished with that, continue down the row of bookcases where the Skeletons initially came from, and you’ll manage to locate the Challenge Door to the left.
CELLAR
From where you start off in the Cellar follow the wine rack to your immediate right around the corner and break open every wine barrel which hosts a selection of Ghoulies inside. Once you’ve toured the entire room you’ll manage to defeat 4 Imps, 3 Skeletons and 11 Spiders. With that out of the way continue to the area harboring an alluring open Challenge Door, and approach it. Doing so will bring you face to frame with a new breed of Ghouly; the Haunted Door! Now that you’ve exposed the door, work your way back to the doorway that you’ve entered the room from and you’ll spot a One-Hit Wonder! Soup Tin behind the wine rack. This Super Soup allows you to defeat any Ghouly with just one hit, be it a powerful punch or a tossed item from afar. We’re going to go for the latter. Once you pick up the Super Soup turn back around and you’ll find a collection of bottles atop a small barrel. With the bottles in hand head back toward the Haunted Door which will undoubtedly be on your tail and then hurl a bottle in its direction, once it lands its mark you’ll manage to defeat the Haunted Door. With that out of the way carry on toward the open Challenge Door to begin Chapter 2.
