Get the puzzle piece in Braid w5l5p2 by manipulating platforms and using your shadow. Learn the switch mechanics.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head to the canvas and climb the ladder to its right.
  2. 2
    Jump right to the platform with a purple switch and an adjacent platform. This switch controls the broad platform below.
  3. 3
    The broad platform rises to a floating purple switch. That switch controls a small platform that rises to the puzzle piece at the very top.
  4. 4
    First, climb down to the broad platform.
  5. 5
    Stand on the broad platform for a second, then walk back to the upper switch.
  6. 6
    Flip the upper switch and rewind until you are standing on the lower, broad platform. Your shadow will run up and hit the switch for you.
  7. 7
    When the broad platform stops rising, wait a second, then hit the purple switch.
  8. 8
    Rewind again until you are on the upper platform.
  9. 9
    Run to the upper switch and hit it as soon as your shadow walks onto the broad platform.
  10. 10
    This ensures your shadow hits the lower switch when the broad platform rises.
  11. 11
    Be on the small upper platform when your shadow hits the lower switch so you can reach the puzzle piece.
Tips
  • The upper switch controls the broad platform below, causing it to rise.
  • The broad platform rising allows you to reach the second purple switch.
  • The second purple switch controls the small platform that leads to the puzzle piece.
  • Using your shadow's movement after rewinding is key to activating switches at the right time.
