Star-Shaped Portal: Cannon Travel — The Plucky Squire Walkthrough
Chapter 6, "Very Metal," introduces a unique mode of transportation: the Star-Shaped Portal Cannon. This section explains how to utilize this innovative travel system to navigate the metallic landscapes and overcome the challenges presented in this chapter. Mastering cannon travel is essential for progression.
The Star-Shaped Portal Cannon is a key environmental feature in "Very Metal." You'll encounter these cannons strategically placed throughout the chapter, often serving as the primary means of traversing large distances or reaching otherwise inaccessible areas. The process typically involves finding a cannon, which might require a small puzzle or a brief search. Once you locate one, you'll need to interact with it to enter. Inside the cannon, you'll often see a targeting reticle or a visual indicator showing where you will be launched. The 'star-shaped portal' aspect suggests that the destination might be visually distinct or that the cannon itself creates a star-shaped portal upon firing. Some cannons might require you to aim them manually, perhaps by rotating them or selecting a destination from a map-like interface. Others might be pre-set, launching you along a fixed trajectory. The 'cannon travel' itself is usually a fast-paced, exhilarating experience, often involving a cinematic flight through the environment. Be prepared for potential mid-air challenges or the need to collect items or avoid obstacles during your flight. Some cannons might have limited uses or require a specific item to activate. Pay close attention to any visual cues or instructions that appear when interacting with the cannon. Successfully navigating these cannon sequences will allow you to progress through the intricate, metallic environments of Chapter 6, opening up new pathways and revealing further secrets.
