Follow this walkthrough for Braid's World 3, Level 8, Part 1 (w3l8p1) to expertly navigate the ladder and platform puzzles and claim the elusive puzzle piece.

Alright, let's tackle this next section of World 3, Level 8, Part 1. It's a bit of a maze with ladders and platforms, but we'll get through it. The first half is all about navigating this tricky setup.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    You'll start in an area with a bunch of ladders and platforms. Head to the right and climb the first ladder you see.
  2. 2
    At the top, make your way left, then take the ladder going down. Once you're at the bottom of that ladder, head right.
  3. 3
    Now, get on the next ladder. You'll see an enemy patrolling above. Wait until he's directly over you, then press the button to land on his head. This is a classic Braid move!
  4. 4
    After that, walk to the left and hit the lever. Now, you'll need to backtrack. Head back up the two ladders you just came down.
  5. 5
    Continue all the way to the right and climb the ladder that leads to the very top of the area. As you're doing this, keep an eye on the green platform down at the bottom; it'll start floating to the right.
  6. 6
    Once you're at the top, head left along the highest platform. There's an enemy up here, so take him out.
  7. 7
    Now, carefully drop down to the left. There's another enemy here, so deal with him and grab the key he drops. You don't technically need this key to grab the puzzle piece itself, but you *will* need it to exit the area later, so it's smart to grab it now.
  8. 8
    From here, you can either drop down or use the ladder on your left to climb down. Once you're on the lower level, drop off the ledge to your right. You should now be at the very bottom of the area, close to where you started.
  9. 9
    Head back to that lever you flipped earlier and pull it again. Now for the tricky part: you're going to use your rewind ability. Rewind back to the ledge that's just above the entry door – it's the last ledge you'll be on before reaching the bottom.
  10. 10
    Here's the crucial step: while rewinding, press and hold the left bumper to speed up your rewind. You need to time this so you arrive back at that ledge just as the green platform is moving left. Jump onto the green platform as it slides by.
  11. 11
    Once you've landed on the green platform, quickly jump to the ladder and climb up. Congratulations, you've found the green puzzle piece!
