grab all three butterflies and then jump

So you see the butterfly at the rocks near the top of the waterfall. You can jump through those and pick up the second as you make your way out of the water. To me, it felt like a big lure to see what happens if you could have two at the same time. The only thing that I didn't like was the visual effect seemed non-existent. My butterflies were just on top of each other, and I had to pay attention carefully to see the wings were flapping at different intervals.

I ended up quitting at this point myself. Even with all 3 butterflies, which are difficult to get without jumping, I still didn't make it over the wall. Too frustrating. Was enjoying the story, but I can't progress unless I time a jump just right, where if I fail, I have to spend a couple minutes before I can try again? No thank you.

Sorry for the frustration jon.spell. I've uploaded a new build of the game which fine-tunes the jumping and obstacles, so it should be less frustrating now.

I would have preferred some more difficult platforming sections myself.

Hey, for anyone else experiencing this problem, especially now that it's on PS4 and this is the first thread that pops up when you search it, I figured it out.

As everyone else said, stack all 3 butterflies. Get the ones at the top of the waterfall first, and to get the ones on the rock just climb up the bigger sloped rock and fall down to them.

To actually perform the jump, press jump twice in rapid succession. DON'T wait until you reach the top of your jump, just press twice in a row and you'll get the full jump.

This was very confusing to me considering the games I usually play that involve double jumping almost always involve waiting until you gain some height to press again, but even on normal jumps in this game you'll get more air if you double press.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for reminding me this thread existed. I went ahead and edited my post and removed the information from it so this won't show up in google anymore and people won't be replying to 1+ year old posts. This thread is old and dead by now.

Sorry, I knew the thread was old but I was trying to help other people playing for the first time, but okay.

Absolutely wild I had to find this 8 year old thread to progress in the game not realizing "jumping" loses your butterflies

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
