Follow this guide to find the first Giant Ring in Sonic the Hedgehog 2's Flying Battery Zone. Learn the exact path and how to avoid hazards!
Alright, let's go grab that first Giant Ring in Flying Battery Zone! It's pretty straightforward, but there are a few tricky spots, so stick with me.
Walkthrough
- 1You'll start off heading right. Just go through the first purple cylinder you see.
- 2After that, drop down the platform and head left. You'll need to carefully navigate past some flame blasters – don't get too close!
- 3Keep heading right. You'll find yourself outside the main part of the Flying Battery. Hop across the series of platforms and use the levers you find to progress.
- 4Jump up onto the ledge and head upwards to get back inside the Blimp.
- 5Once inside, go past the Starpost. You'll then make your way through more of those purple cylinders.
- 6Here's a bit of a tricky part: you'll need to Spin Dash up a slope. Get Sonic positioned on the flame blaster at the top.
- 7This flame blaster will launch you upwards. Once you land, head right and use the moving platforms to reach another flame blaster.
- 8Heads up! If you open that Prison Egg nearby, Badniks will pop out. Keep an eye on it, but don't worry too much unless you accidentally trigger it.
- 9Use the flame blaster you just reached to go upwards again.
- 10Carefully go past some mines – they're just floating there, so give them a wide berth. Then, use the poles to swing across.
- 11Drop down and head left. You'll see a speed boost; jump right over it. Keep going past more mines.
- 12Now, drop down the platform and head right. You'll see some platforms that rise and fall. Wait for them to come up so you don't get crushed!
- 13You'll reach another Starpost. Go past it and press the switch.
- 14Drop down again and head left. You'll find some more slopes to Spin Dash up.
- 15Jump onto the Prison Egg itself. As you run through the next set of purple cylinders, you'll stop on a ledge that immediately starts to collapse.
- 16Quickly! Before that ledge gives way, proceed left. You'll see some flipping platforms above you. Use these to go up.
- 17Head past another flame blaster. Nearby, you'll see some spikes. Move these spikes to reveal a hidden hole.
- 18Drop down that hole, and congratulations! You've found a secret passageway containing the Giant Ring.
Tips
- The Spin Dash is your best friend for getting up those slopes quickly. Make sure you have enough momentum!
- Pay close attention to the timing of the rising platforms to avoid getting squished.
- Don't be afraid to use the poles to swing across gaps; it's often safer than trying to make a long jump.
