Navigating the collaborative challenges in Hazelight Studios' cooperative masterpiece requires excellent communication and synchronized mechanics between both players. In the action-packed tree section, Cody and May find themselves caught in a fierce turf war between corporate squirrels and an aggressive swarm of yellowjackets. Overcoming this intensely chaotic chapter demands a strong grasp of your newly acquired weapons and tactical awareness during major combat encounters.
Mastering the Tree Sap and Match Gun Mechanics
Before launching your assault against the swarm, players must understand how their distinct weapons interact to create explosive results. Cody wields a heavy launcher that coats targets in highly flammable blue resin, which drastically weighs down airborne enemies and objects. Meanwhile, May carries a rapid-firing match gun capable of detonating the resin instantly upon impact to clear paths and defeat hostiles.
To progress smoothly through the early platforming sections, the duo must constantly coordinate their shots on glowing environmental targets. Cody should focus on spraying large clusters of resin onto heavy platforms or mechanisms to alter their physical weight. May must then quickly detonate these nodes to activate switches or propel her partner across wide gaps safely.
Navigating the Wasp Soldier Ambush Zones
As you venture deeper into the hollowed trunk, aggressive insect squads will frequently ambush the duo from multiple directions. These flying soldiers utilize rapid movement patterns and sudden diving attacks to disrupt your teamwork and deplete your health bars. Staying close to each other ensures you can quickly cover alternate angles and prevent getting completely overwhelmed by the swarm.
During these high-intensity skirmishes, Cody needs to focus entirely on grounding the flyers by coating them with multiple layers of sticky sap. Once the target is fully covered and immobilized, May should immediately ignite the mixture to trigger a massive area-of-effect blast. This combined offensive strategy allows you to wipe out dense waves of standard units without wasting precious time.
How to Defeat the Wasp Queen Boss
The climactic confrontation at the end of the region pits Cody and May against a massive armored queen protected by a swirling shield of minion insects. The boss constantly commands her protective swarm to form various offensive shapes, including giant sweeping swords and crushing hammers that target the arena floor. Dodging these predictable geometric strikes requires constant movement and precise jumping timing from both players.
To crack the giant queen's defense, Cody must look for structural openings in the shifting insect shield to spray resin directly onto the boss's exposed weak points. May must track her partner's targeting reticle carefully and launch perfectly timed matches to detonate the attached sap. Repeating this coordinated loop across multiple phases will gradually destroy her armor plating and bring down the colony completely.
