Things to Know
Collect All 5 Dolls to Unlock the Achievement
Across the Candy Factory, a total of 5 Dolls are hidden, and picking them all up will unlock the Achievement “Candy Shop” trophy.
In this Early section of the walkthrough, you can collect 2 Dolls at points ⑥ and ⑩, so be sure to grab them as you go. (You can collect 3 more in the Late section.)
Candy Factory (Early) Walkthrough
①
Hit the floor switch outside with the Wrench to turn it on.
Break the chain further ahead with the Wrench as well.
②
Use the wooden frame as a makeshift ladder to climb up.
③
This is your first encounter with the Supervisor. Stay crouched at all times here.
First, wait at position ①, then once the Supervisor moves to the right at ②, dash over to position ③ while staying crouched.
After that, just wait until he leaves, then slip out through the door on the right.
←①Always crouch and wait
②When the Supervisor moves to the right shelf→
↓③Move under the desk
④
Push the platform over to the shelves and use it as a foothold to climb up.
Slip through the gap in the wall to reach an electrified puddle area. Avoid touching the water and have Low shoot the switch with the Bow.
Shoot with the bow→
Water puddles will electrocute you, so be careful→
⑤
It’s another stealth section with the Supervisor. As always, staying crouched is crucial.
First, wait at position ①, then when he moves to the right, slip under the desk at position ②.
Next, once you see the Supervisor walk over to the left at position ③, sneak over to the shelves on the far right and climb them like a ladder at position ④. That’s all you need to do here.
①Crouch and wait
②When the Supervisor moves right, wait here↓
←③When the Supervisor goes left, prepare
TL: ④Climb the shelf as a ladder→
⑥ (Doll Point)
There’s a Doll at the left end of the beam, so make sure you pick it up.
⑦
A little further ahead, you’ll find a lift switch you can use to unlock the door.
As soon as the door opens, run straight to the far right.
⑧
When you reach the grimy-floor room, pull the Fuse out of the socket and carry it while moving to the far right.
Bugs hate the light and will clear a path for you. However, be careful—if you get too far away from your partner, the bugs will attack.
Once you plug the Fuse into the socket on the right side, climb the ladder in the center of the floor.
⑨
After dealing with a few simple gimmicks and moving on, you’ll reach a bug-infested room.
Here, use the wooden frames on the wall like ladders to move across. Once you reach the other side, flip the switch to make the bugs disperse.
If both characters jump in sync on the trapdoor in the floor, you’ll drop down to the lower area.
⑩
In the room that needs two Fuses, you’ll have to collect one Fuse from each of the left and right rooms.
Two fuses are required↓
TL: Collect the fuses from the left and right areas
⑩-2 (Doll Point)
Head to the left-side room.
Split up and have each character take a role: one climbs up to ①, while the other grabs the lever at ② and keeps hanging from it to set the overhead conveyor line in motion.
In single-player, you need to pull the lever first so your partner “learns” the action; otherwise they won’t move. The player is in charge of climbing up.
Grab the hook that comes down from the conveyor line and ride it into the next room.
Pull the Fuse in that room to stop the duct fan so you can head back. Carefully toss the Fuse through the ducts as you go and plug it into the socket in room ⑩.
←①Climb
②Hold on and keep hanging
Doll located here↓
←Move while holding onto the hook
Keep hanging
⑩-3
Head to the right-side room. Break the glass in the door with the Wrench to get inside.
Move through the storeroom together, and in the room where the Fuse is up high, use a boost jump to reach it.
After pulling the Fuse, leave through the newly opened door and carry it through the storeroom along the route shown in the images below.
In the bug-filled area, make sure you don’t get too far apart.
⑩-4
Return to the room that needs two Fuses and slot them in to open the elevator.
Use a boost jump to hit the switch and turn it on.
