Stuck! *Spoilers, probably*

[Ugly Duck]

Hey. I got Aquaria a couple of days ago. I'm about 28 - 30 hours in it's going well, but I'll save my opinion for later - I plan to do a full review once I've completed it. I've got energy, beast, spirit, fish and nature forms and I've also found Li. I've wondered blindly around the abyss for a bit, I've had a look at the Sun temple in The Veil, and I'm prevented from advancing by the dark area near the bottom. I've killed both the energy boss and the Trogdor boss in Mithalas, as well as the nature boss, the three priests, the giant enemy crab, the giant enemy mollusc in Home Waters and the Pirahna boss.

I've been to all the places on this map, and pretty much explored everywhere. The only place I know I haven't visited is the lowest straight in the left-hand abyss cavern, and I don't expect I'm supposed to go there until I get a light of some kind. So far I've been using song to call light sources too me, but it almost always ends up in them either being eaten by the random mouths down there and I'm stranded with no map and no light, relying on my logic and questionable sense of direction to get me out alive. It's oddly fun though...

Ultimately, I'm now stuck. I can't see anywhere else on the map I'm missing, and lacking a walkthrough, I don't really have many other options. Please, by all means ask me questions if it'll help you help me, but please try and refrain from spoilers. I'm really getting into this and I'd like the experience to be preserved for now .

Do more exploring in the sun temple.

You'll get the light source you need there.

I just found my way to the Ice Temple without it anyway. I can make ice creams now . Still, I'll go back and have another look. Thanks

Edit: Got it. That puzzle was great. Thanks for your help.

I can't believe it, another hardy soul that likes swimming around in the dark, there are a few big mouths down there and many secrets that get missed without Sunform Not forgetting all the nasty things that you can swim into to 

[Ugly Duck]

I got quite a few of them. Obviously I can't tell whether I got them all, but I got a nice loot from down there. This is actually one of the brilliant facets of the games design, the fact that I can explore the area if I want to. But then again, I detest the big mouths. They're like Aquaria's Grue, and they're not very well made either. But now I'm starting to review it because god-damnit I just can't help myself.

Just one question - when I first learn the verse song, am I supposed to use it immediately, on the door it's in front of? Because if so, it's not working. I'm getting very confused. Again, you don't have to tell me what to do, just "am I'm doing it wrong?"

Sorry for the double post but I'm stuck again. I've got sunform, everything else is as it was before, but now I can't seem to kill the boss in the Bubble Cave, y'know in the Frozen Veil. I'm assuming that he'll be the last pet. I worked out that I have to knock him off the ceiling and into the bubble using nature form, but then I'm stuck. I'm guessing that I'll need another form, an ice or electricity form or something. If not, please let me know.

And like I said, I'm still not sure what to do about this puzzle in the sunken city. I've reached the door with the Verse Song, and I can't seem to get any further. I suppose I'll have a little look around in the abyss for now.

Edit: NEVERMIND. I worked it out.

You don't mention which door, is it the one in the Sunken City or the one at the start? Spoiler alert; copy and read in note pad if you really need the help! =The one in the city needs the song sung to it but sung in a certain way, look at how the symbols are listed on the wall, sing the first 3 across the top, then sing the first two and the one next down and so on..

For the first door you need Li or you can't get in to the Sunken city..

In reply to your comment on the big mouths, I will differ on this, they are very well made as they are suposed to be deep sea fish that are almost ghost like, and their jaws do hinge in a very strange way on the real things..

The boss in the bubble cave require you to change form, the nature form shoots spiky things that knock him of but you also need to start in original form and capture one of his blasts using bind song and leave it in the bubble where he lands when he is knocked of by nature form.

I got the door open. I had the song right, I just hadn't gotten the ghost child to follow me to the door.

Thanks for the help on that boss, I thought that was what I was supposed to do, but it seemed too difficult. He's not paralysed for long enough for that to really work effectively... but I'm sure I'll do it eventually. Anyway, I completed it a few hours ago so expect a ridiculously long review forthwith containing many unnecessary italics.

That's ok I am only pleased that I can help, and I amaze myself continuosly that I can actually recall how to... lol
Spoiler alert: t's a matter of timeing, you need to release the 'bomb as he lands in the bubble and exit it yourself before it explodes, and it needs to be done about 2 or 3 times to kill him.
It took me what seemed like endless attempts in each of the two tries (if you get my meaning?) but I did kill him in the second one more by luck I feel as I am hopless at timing
