Forget Briar Jumping, just build your own rockets, Aquaria Style.



In order to build your own Aquaria Rocket (TM) you will need:
- A rock.
- Nature Form.
- The Bind Song.
- A good ledge to launch from.
- Fairly good knowledge of the shortcut keys.

First, find your rock and drop in on the ground close to where you want to launch from. I used the spot right above the Li's Cave in Veil. Switch to nature form (4)and put a briar on the rock in the direction in which you wish your rocket to travel. Next is the trick bit (and why you need shortcut keys) switch back to normal form (1) and bind the rock (0), then back to nature form (4) before the briar you just planted stabs you to death. Since the distance your rocket can travel is limited by the lifespan of the briar you must quickly move to the surface of the water and jump in a matter than will make Najia cling to the briar (not the rock). The higher and further from the rock itself you can place her, the faster your rocket will travel.

One last point, you can place as many Briars as you want on the rock trying to get your aim right, only the one you cling on to will set the trajectory at which the rocket fires, it should also give you and idea of how long you have until the time expires on your rocket as each on dissipates mid flight. As of yet I can't find a way to latch another Brair in mid flight and keep everything in the air forever since you can't do it on an object that is bound. It's pretty tricky to set if you aren't underwater, let alone flying through the sky and a silly speed.

Yes, I know it's a physics bug (bind doesn't account for the Briar when calculating the force with which it pulls towards you, and thus gets stuck always moving toward you but never reaching), but it's a great deal of fun messing with. I spent about 20 minutes aiming one of these things to try and jump the rock between East and West veil. When I succeeded bad things happened i.e. I fell down the side of the map and couldn't get back again. I don't have a screeny of the map but I do have a picture of my deliciously phallic rocket . I love the way the bind effect looks kind of like and rocket flame trailing behind it.

That is the coolest thing since sliced bread. Awesome man!  ;D I am going to have so much fun with it

I would imagine that it was a bit awkward, did you have any problems quiting the game after jumping of the map?
Nope, just quit and continue works perfect.

Also, may I ask where you found the rock in that area? I can't seem to find one >.<
That is a relief for you lol :D

Look under for a boulder you might find one once to clear those killer starfish out of the tunnel  >.< lol

Glad someone found this. We called it the "p---s rocket" during development.

We left it in, cause its awesome.

That is a very slick guide - you should use your talents for more of the game. Referring to the OMG SPOILER picture: not one, but TWO! I've got to get there (especially in light of the esc-cheat removal).  :) Thanks Cryzbl!

k, done reading the forum. must play game.  great.. no... GREATEST find  :D

*edit: amazing effects so far! I must recommend switching forms whilst up there as well  ;)  a certain form gives you a crazy turbo boost, it will jolt you right off the rocket and you might have to do a bit of searching for it after.  I can't find that boulder you used in the east Veil tho silver? searched the crab/starfish area and was using the the bind like a pulse as I went along the bottom to see if anything stuck lol  you said you landed on the shark, did you find the rock in the middle section?

Awesome! No! Rad! :D

One wonders if there is other, yet undiscovered, stuff in the game you left there because it's awesome. :)

Thanks, however I just noticed the spelling and grammar errors :/


Anyway, it should be possible to use the same technique to jump up the upper cliff as well, that's about as high as this glitch will get you.

Sorry for leading you all on a wild goose chase and I could of sworn that I saw one there but it's on the other side, I really don't see how we can get a boulder onto the temple for this jump worse luck,  :( Once I got through into the other side where the first big tutrtle is I tried the rocket and wow!I thought that I was going of screen there for a while lol :o

Chibi I have already tried that and if you look at my screenshot you will see the results, I got up so far and missed the ledge :'(

And there isn't a rock on the other side of the Temple either so that's out unless we can send one over the top of the rock separating one area from the other which I doubt :'(

Hahaha.  Penis rocket.  Friggin' awesome!

Since the fish form is not constrained to fall straight down when in the air, and behaves more like a Newtonian projectile, you can launch off from your penis rocket just before it wilts.  The übervine hurts fish form, and sends you caroming off in the opposite direction.  V. fun.  See that nice parabola on the map there? Like that.



And, Cryzbl you son-of-a-gun.  Now I need to go hone my vine-wall-jumping skills to get up there, since they are currently nil.  Well done, though!

Alec, is there maybe an easier way to get up there than how Cryzbl did it?  A hidden rock in that section, perhaps, or something else we haven't tried?

Be very careful that you don't land on dry land while in fish form though - it's impossible to change forms and the fish form can't cling to walls and jump off them, leading to the classic fish out of water scenario. Neat idea though - never would of thought of it.

That is very true chibi, but perhaps if you time it right then you can change form while falling and before hitting the ground?

Of course - I was just warning people not to stay in fish form for the entire voyage.  :)
