Get Past The Ghouls (6/6)
This challenge is located from the middle entrance from the main hub, follow the tunnel to the graveyard.
The method for this challenge is the same each time only you use different abilities to get past the ghouls:
Walk to the top-left of the area and stack into the cradle switch to lift the first gate.
Walk through the gate you just lifted and walk to the next area.
Walk top-right of the area and stack into the cradle switch to lift the second and last gate, walk into the gate and the challenge is complete.
Note some of the dolls are slow and clunky but if you are 'captured' you spawn back outside the graveyard and can walk back in and carry on from where you left off.1) Head CheeseTo the right of the graveyard area is a large doll with a cheese hat called 'Stilton Red-Sticks', stack into him and head into the graveyard.
Press
to toss cheese to fend off the ghouls.
2) Meat HeadIn the main hub area stack into a large doll (Old man with stick, man with bindle stick, etc) and walk up to the stall on the left called 'Mainly Meat Market' and press
to talk and the man will place meat on your head.
Walk back to the graveyard and you can just walk passed the ghouls as they are put off by the smell.
3) Jailed BaitTo the left of the graveyard area is a large doll with a cage on her head called 'Betty Bufflehead' stack into her and walk up to a child doll and press
to trap them in a cage (I suggest trapping 2, one for each area)
Unstack from Betty and stack into one of the large dolls with pallets on their head and press
in front of one cages to pick them up.
Walk into the graveyard and press
to place the caged child as bait for the ghouls. Walk back and pick up the second caged child and walk to the first gate switch and then repeat the process for the second area.
4) The Artful DodgerFor this one you must run through the area as Charlie, so dont stack into any dolls before entering the graveyard with the ghouls
5) Ghoul LashFor this solution you need to get passed the ghouls using either the 'Suit Of Armour' or 'Deep Sea Hans' who are both found in the area for challenge 2 'Open Excalican'
I suggest using 'Deep Sea Hans', to get Hans you must use a fishing child doll and fish off the pier back-right of the area.
Stack into 'Deep Sea Hans' and head back to the graveyard, press
and Hans will to a spinning hook attack that will temporarily break the ghouls apart.
6) Bake 'n' BreakNote: Before you can do this solution you must have first finished the game to unlock 'Pliny Pan-Pounder' and 'Floyd Fire-Breather'.
Floyd and Pliny will be in the main hub area standing in front of the large statue in the middle.
When in the graveyard with the ghouls first use Floyd's 'Fire Breath' ability and immediately unstack and press
to use Pliny's 'Pan Handle' abilty.
Floyd will to a radial fire burst, use this to get through.
