Sad thing is, I only have 29/30 Helix Fragments. I got both Fragments out of the room with all the blue spikey guys, too, so I have no idea what I could be missing. The idea of combing every single room to find the last Helix is tempting but... good god, I think my brain is bleeding already.

I also had to pass through one of the rooms multiple times before it recognized that I'd passed through that room. Turns out, I had to get every other room on the map before it would recognize my progress through this specific room. Weird.

Anyway, I'm gonna try Slug Mode and call it a day. Great game, but my ADD is kicking in after almost five hours of playtime. >__>

GUH.

I left out the question I came here to ask, which was the ENTIRE POINT of me coming here in the first place.

That question is: "How do you get Slug Mode, anyway? I tried starting a new game after beating my first playthrough to completion, but no Slug Mode."

Hmm, you should have gotten it by then =/ In fact, I'd call shenanigans if you got to the point where you restored Sun Snail. (But if you thought you needed a password, you got trolled.)

Thanks for the help, guys! I found that room and got the medal. Now I've just gotta beat that last guy, who's really getting on my nerves! I get sooo close to defeating him, then I die. Grrr!

...You have to restore Sun Snail? That explains it then. 100% Map Completion and only 29/30 Fragments. Looks like I'm not doing any Slug Mode.

BTW, some boss tips for Moon Snail and Giga Snail.

When fighting Moon Snail, try to stay on the floor at all times. Don't even jump. Any time one of his cluster attacks comes flying at you, just go into Shell Shield and start shooting as soon as it hits you and passes by harmlessly. You shouldn't worry about damaging the Boss until he appears on the floor or low on one of the walls, at which point you should try to shoot him as many times as you can while he's shooting off a cluster attack. If you're right under him when he goes to the ceiling, well, that's a good opportunity to do some damage too. Try to shoot in his direction at all times, though, which requires moving around and shooting diagonally (which has the effect of destroying his boomerang attacks later on, too).

Giga Snail is a whole other matter. During his transitions between attack modes, just get on one of the walls (not right in the middle, but close to the middle). When he's in Red Mode, stay on the wall and go into Shell Shield at all times. You'll often have to go into Shield JUST as he's about to hit you later on. You can even use Shell Shield to weather his bullet-maze attack, allowing you to stay on a wall. And his ZZZ Snooze Attack can be blocked with Shell Shield too. Note that since you're on the wall, you can dodge his tricky attacks when he goes toward the floor/ceiling, then flips around and goes back the other way to fool you. In the end it's a war of attrition, but not as hard as that damned Space Box boss. :P

If you have been in every room, there should be one room on your map that has a dot (I think it might even be blinking) in it. That should be your final helix fragment.

I saw that blinking little dot and thought that might have been what it was, but *never went and checked*.

Can someone PM me what the secret medals are for Myth Runner please?

Done!

Snailaid was really awesome. Great game, lots of secrets, no problems with medals and pretty difficult but nothing too hard. Yesterday I had the brilliant idea to do the Slug Mode & Speedrun at once. Even though I think it's possible, I don't recommend it, just play the game 3 times, it's worth it. =)

I'm still missing 1 secret medal, and I don't think I've seen anyone who has it yet. I tried lots of places but I guess not the right one. :P

The secret medal is Snelk hunter A, the author has it. Maybe the snelk in this room has something to do with it? (Picture below)

Also, can anyone tell me where the boomerang is?

Hell yeah! I finally defeated that damn final boss! Whoo-hoo! Thanks for all the tips, guys. Definitely helped me out immensely. Though, I didn't unlock "Slug Mode" for some reason, and this was with 100% completion on both the items and map, as well as getting the "happy ending" for the game. Is it because I totally sucked and it took me nearly 4 hours to beat the game?

Oh yeah, if anybody's tossing out hints as to where to find that boomerang secret medal, I wouldn't object. :)

new game!

People seem to have problems finding the 'unlocked' Slug Mode. It won't appear in the main menu like Boss Run, you just have to start a new game, and below 'easy' and 'normal' should be 'slug' now. =)

Good luck & be patient. Slug mode is harder than Boss Run & Speedrun (imo).

I just found the super secret boomerang from the "hint" dropped by a youtube user. I can now close the books on Snailiad, unless I go super OCD and map out every single nook and cranny. The author mentioned two cameos from another game, and I only saw one afaik.

Is it the same lone Snelk that Secret Snelk B is by? Or is there a completely different one? Because I've been wracking my brain trying to find something in that area, but to no avail. Same goes for the "hint" given on that Youtube video of yours about the boomerang.

For some reason it seems none of the Snelk Hunter medals have unlocked for me when I enter the rooms. Anyone having a problem with these? Or do you have to do something else in order to get those medals?

There's three different lone Snelks. There could be more of them for all I know.

All secret medal stuffs are not marked on the map.

There's no Snelk associated with the boomerang AFAIK. But the first place I tried to look for it was indeed the place where it was located. I guess I'll drop a hint: it's possible to get the Super Secret Boomerang with just the High Jump powerup alone.

Haha, I knew this would happen. I thought my Boomerang would be decent leverage in case someone found the first secret snelk room. Then I decided to watch your speedrun for the lulz (it was actually quite disappointing, I'm sure you agree you didn't put too much effort into it) and saw the comment. My exact thoughts were Ghe, he will find it easily now, and I'm sure he will be the first one to get the last medal just to give me 'keeper of secrets' flashbacks. :P

Good thing Mittens gives us an easy 175 points. =)

I just found the boomerang, thanks for the tip, my friend. :) Now I've just gotta find that damn Snelk thing.

is this a known bug?

Medals that you already met the requirements for before logging in, but aren't sending, is actually typical of many games on NG. It's highly advised that you log in before attempting to play for medals.

As for logging in afterwards and replaying the game, you'll need to clear your game first before you try again (either clear your cache or delete the .sol file(s) associated with the game). In most cases, your game progress is saved onto your computer, and is independent of your NG login information and stuff.

I don't know what sorcery is at work, but I decided to play Dillo Hills again, accidentally hit "tutorial", and played the game. Got Birdmageddon and Shroombelievable.

Still can't get the 20 perfects in zone 6 as the squirrel though.

I thought some medals were able to be unlocked in the tutorial? Or maybe I'm just mistaken.

In other news, I've given up trying to unlock that damn Secret Snelk A medal. I've found 1 other of those little creeps running around in a part of the game where saw blades fall from the sky, but that's only at certain times (it's no guaranteed it seems that it'll show up every time I enter the area). I've searched everywhere in that place's vicinity, and found nothing. Hopefully somebody makes a walkthrough of it, because I've rage/annoyed quit it for now.

The medals would not unlock when I play the other two modes. It makes me sadface.
