Need help with World 5-2 in Braid? This guide walks you through grabbing the puzzle piece, dealing with enemies, and using your shadow mechanic.

Alright, let's tackle World 5-2! This one's a bit of a puzzle, but we'll get that piece.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    First things first, head back down to where you were at the end of the last level. You might need to move left a bit to grab the key again.
  2. 2
    Now, make your way to the right, to the area where that moving enemy is patrolling. You'll see a door here, but don't open it just yet.
  3. 3
    Take out the enemy first. Once it's down, quickly jump up, open the door, run to the right, and then drop down. Immediately run to the left.
  4. 4
    You should now be below where the door was. The door will have closed, and a new enemy will appear, holding the key right in front of it.
  5. 5
    Wait for that enemy to grab the key. Once it has it, head all the way to the right side of the area.
  6. 6
    When the enemy starts moving towards you, jump over it so you end up to its left. Take it out, and grab the key it was carrying.
  7. 7
    Now, all that's left is to jump up, open that door, and claim your puzzle piece!

World 5 Mechanic: Shadows and Rewind

This world introduces a cool new mechanic: your shadow! When you rewind time, your shadow will appear and perform the actions you just undid. For example, if you jump on an enemy and then rewind, your shadow will jump on that enemy for you, even if you do something else entirely after rewinding.
