Trust us when we say thatmultiplayer makes it so much harderand everything takes so much longer.
Its nothing major, but theres a fewspecial multiplayer-onlytype obstacles.
In general, just ignore this.
Its usedprimarily for the high score boardand people that like to show off super fast ascents orspeed runs.
You definitelywon’t be setting recordson your first go.
Otherwise, you really shouldset the difficulty level to Beginner.
Whilst that may seem counterintuitive to most people, its theonly way to play the gameand retain your sanity.
On Beginner you canreset your position to a checkpointor the last highest point your group got to.
On Normal, if you fall you could goall the way to the bottom of the mapto start over.
These co-op games are cozier than you’d think.
One of them lets you go for the jot down of loop youre chained into,Open or Closed.
Keep it on Open.
But thatsubstantially shortens the length of the chainand keeps everyone in one tiny chaotic ball.
Unless you want another screaming match, keep the chain loop set to open.
Take It Slow
Whilst you have a timer ticking overhead constantly, its going up not down.
So you haveinfinite time in which to erase the mapand you should use that to your advantage.
Itsa long way downafter all.
On timed sections thiscan and will soft-lock youas your character freezes up and you just fall.
These games allow you plenty of freedom to climb.
It seems to happen the longer a game is going for.
So either itsa memory leak, or just hitbox detectionrunning amok.
So pick aSacrificial Lamb in the groupto test any section that looks a little treacherous.
In Chained Together,if youre not talking, youre the problem.
This game is all about communication and talking your way through each platform.
Theres no way to cut stragglers loose sothewhole group needs to be talkingnear constantly.
So it’s vital that you open your mouth and talk.
But if you do,youll just dangle and your friends can pull you up.
Or in some cases, swinging someone on the chain from below can let youcheese some tricky parts.
So if you fall off,dont get exasperatedor feel like youre letting everyone down.
Although, just don’t startswinging around wildlyas that definitely will pull everyone down with you.
If youre daring enough to ascend through hell without any companions, heres how to play Chained Together solo.
