Hello guys !
I just get the spirit form and was so disappointed : "wtf it's totally useless !"
Well, I saw in other topics that it wasn't. Understood things about health and blue crystal, but as I don't understand english very well, could someone explain me slowly and with simple words, please ? ^-^
By the way, I didn't understand what was the effect of the swamp cake : "fish form poison", what does that mean ?

I was sort of hoping with spirit form that you would be able to interact with the ghosts, or go into a ghost level. but I was also hoping Naija would walk or fly as well, maybe get a jet car. so enough about my ridiculous expectations ;)
spirit form can help with: beating the seahorse race ( you'll see a couple of blue crystals on the track ) but I did fine in beast form with some soup after doing the track a few times to get the feel of it. you can also absorb projectiles as health points, this is somewhat useful in wide open areas where you have dozens of monsters firing at you and it cripples them as well as gives you a bit of a breather.

from what I remember you can make poison gas when you are in fish form? correct me if I'm wrong
-
I beat the seahorse race EASILY just by using the fish form.

Not everybody is as skilled as you. Hot soup + fish form is enough for me, but I just like using Spirit Form. Really the Spirit Form is just a key. It lets you past those steam vents and yes, it does give you health. Let me explain that in as many words as requested.
Right-click in spirit form to absorb energy-type projectiles that are near you. You must be very close, but be careful because you can still be hurt.
Absorb five projectiles like this and you will regain health.
-
Thank you.
I didn't try the "absorb projectiles" thing, but I thing I understood. And I managed to teleport with the blue crystal. \o/ (but didn't use it for the seahorse race, fish form and soup was enough).
-
I found fishform and soup worked best for me also in the race, for some reason I couldn't get from one crystal to the other fast enough in spiritform and reverted back which just left me way behind the ghost seahorses :(
-
Well the thing is spirit form "stops time" so to speak. So even though it takes a lot slower to get from point A to point B in spirit form, for the duration you remain in that form you effectively move instantaneously, as far as the race is concerned.

No it wasn't that Glamador, I just couldn't get to the next crystal :o I have an idea that I might of been doing it wrong but I didn't try any other way once the fish form and soup work for me, it wasn't fast but I managed to do it in 1:28 :)
-
Whoa, is that a coincidence or what! I finished in the exact same time. (My method was to eat one hot soup for every thirty-second period (roughly three) in the fish form and to save the spirit form for the last crystal) I thought I was going to lose the race, but I overestimated the distance to the finish line.
-
I think my first time was 1:24, I didn't even know I was racing.
-
I can't quite handle getting around those statues that is what slows me down, but that was a neat score Glamador. When you first spoted those blue lights did you think that it was another dangerous spot, only I kept well away from them at first worried that they were damaging lol
-
I thought I was just supposed to go around the track, didn't know I was being timed that's all. What blue lights? You mean the goal? Nah.
-
I think she means the blue crystals that you use to teleport in spirit form
[EDIT] Notice something strange about the Maul in my avatar?

No not the cristals the moving lights that turn out to be the ghost racers. Of course I soon realised that they weren't a danger but for a minute they did have me a litle worried that it was another kind of enemy shooting weird lights lol
