Metrico World 6 walkthrough

For this area, you'll need to have a red, blue, and green color source near you. Here's a masterfully crafted work that took all of 30 seconds to make which should address this need.

Trophies to be earned:
Optimized mind - Complete the world in one session without using Triangle to reset a puzzle.

Thoughts on trophy: There are 5 sections where you can't mess up, otherwise you're forced to use Triangle to reset. None of them require any godlike platforming skills however, just perfect execution. Four of these sections are located at the very end, so if you mess up, just play through the rest of the world so you're more familiar with the puzzles before attempting it again.

Glitch warning: There a certain puzzle where the objects might not respond properly even if you do the correct actions. If this happens, there's nothing you can do but exit the current play session and replay up to that point and hope it doesn't happen again. As of now it's unknown what exactly causes it, but just be aware that it exists. I'll note which puzzle it is when you come to it. As a precautionary measure, you may want to turn off and restart your PSVita system once you reach this world, as it's said that this can help avoid the glitch, although it's not 100% guaranteed to work.

This time, you get the ability to summon an orb of light above your head by holding Square.

Start by pressing Square for a bit to summon a platform.

Get on it, and place your finger over the Vita's camera and press Square to lower the platforms, then hold Square while pointing your Vita at something white to raise them.

Raise and lower the platforms as needed and advance to the next area.

For this area,

do a CW, then slide down the ramp, and kill the enemy below. CCW to lower the pillar, get on it, then CW again to raise it. Repeat the process of sliding down the ramp, then going back up and sliding down again until the rightmost pillar is at 0%. Once it's at 0%, CCW and keep shooting until the horizontal platform extends fully.

Cover the camera with your finger and hold Square to lower the remaining pillar, and move on.

For the next area, get on the Y= platform, then jump in place and shoot while in mid-air.

Keep doing this until the platform is around Y=250.

Should be okay to jump off at this point.

Once that's done, jump off and you should be able to jump on the platform to the right and advance.

Move to the rightmost ring, activate it, and press O.

Get on the different colored floor,

and jump on it 3 times to make a platform rise. Go activate the ring to the left and press O. Head to the left and drop down and you should be able to progress.

WARNING: Be careful on this puzzle, as screwing up requires the use of Triangle to reset.

For this you'll need to have your red, blue, and green color sources with you. Start by holding Square while on red (I'll refer to this process as scanning from now on) to lower the platform, then jump on it. Now, scan blue and activate the ring when the platform reaches it,

then scan green until the platform reaches the very left. Kill all the enemies while still on the platform; then scan red until the platform reaches the bottom, then walk off and activate the ring below.

Finally, get back on the platform and scan blue till it reaches the ring again.

Activate the ring, then scan red until the platform is at its lowest level,

then walk all the way right, jump over a pillar, and you're done with this one.

There's a collectible here. Unlock it, then press O to reset the puzzle. Start scanning red until the leftmost pillar is around 79%, then jump on it. Now, scan green until the 2nd pillar from the left is around 28%, then scan blue until the 3rd pillar from the left is around 40%, and jump onto the rightmost pillar. The setup should look like the picture below.

Once on the rightmost pillar, scan either red or green to raise it to 100%.

For this one, jump all the way to the right and land on the blue pillar.

Scan any color to lower the red pillar.

Keep shooting to raise the blue pillar, then drop down all the way to the bottom (Don't land in the middle area or you'll need to restart). Kill the enemy below

 then start firing like mad to raise the tall blue pillar again. Jump on the blue pillar to the very right, then kill the enemies as they drop down.

Once the green platform has fully retracted, start jumping in place to raise the pillar you're on and proceed further,

Jump right all the way down to the bottom,

then scan red until the pillar you land on is around 40%.

After that, do a CW to let the red platform crush you,

then jump back on the green pillar, scan red all the way to the top, and move on.

For this one, jump until the lowest platform is at 100%,

then do a small CCW motion until the blue platform is around 75-90%.

Keep firing until the red platform is at 0%. You should now be able to get to the other side.
Activate the ring to the right, then go back to the left end, activate that ring, then right again to activate the ring, which should raise the pillar high enough to let you pass.

WARNING: From this point on, screwing up any of the puzzles will require the use of Triangle to reset, so try not to mess up ;)

Potential glitch warning: The upcoming puzzle can possibly glitch on you. Test it by firing a shot. If nothing moves, then unfortunately, the puzzle has glitched and you can't complete it in that state. This also means you need to restart the world for the trophy ;/

There's a collectible here. Skip it for now, as getting it will require Triangle to completely reset the puzzle.

Start by dropping down, and activating the ring beside the platform as you fall. Press O to summon an enemy and kill it. Start shooting until the horizontal platform says 6/6, then press O.

Jump to the ring on the right and activate it. Press O 3 times to summon three more enemies. Jump to the tall pillar on the left

and shoot two enemies once (but don't kill them) from up there to raise a pillar, which will allow you access to the next area.

Only 3 more to go after this!

Start by pressing O to reset. Jump to the right, and activate the second ring while in mid-air and while still in mid-air, quickly press O again to warp to the top.

You should be able to jump over the pillar at the bottom and proceed to the next puzzle once you land.

Interesting one. Walk back and forth between the two rings, and keep activating them to draw the triangle platform in.

Walk on the platform, then start jumping until it reaches the upper right area. Jump on the red pad twice,

and press O to warp back to the left.

Keep activating the rings again to bring the red platform to you. Now, activate the ring on that platform,

then, while still staying on the left area, kill the two enemies to lower the platform,

then press O to warp to the platform. Be careful not to stay too close to the rings when doing this.

Jump on the pad at the bottom until the blockade is fully lowered

 then press O to warp again and head to the final puzzle.

The final collectible is here. Skip it for now. Press O 4 times to completely lower the pillar before you

then jump down to the ground where the other pillars are located.

Make sure NOT to land on the platform in the middle!

Kill the enemy that appears to your left. Now, stand in the area shown below, fire two shots to the left, and quickly jump on one of the pillars.

Fire 2 shots from this position, then quickly jump to the 2/4 pillar.

After that, fire 4 shots anywhere and you've done it!

Note that the next part can be completely skipped if you just care about trophies. The ending isn't anything special.

To get the doors open, you need to... do nothing! Just place your Vita anywhere and don't touch it. Watch the spastic lightshow or go make a sandwich, take a bathroom break or whatever and come back to it. There should be 3 new doors. Take the yellow door to exit. Strangely enough, this is the only time in the game where your character can move up :O

For your reward, you get... an unskippable credits scene!

Well, that's Metrico for you. I hope you had fun playing and only came here as a last resort ;)

Metrico World 5 Walkthrough

Trophies earned:

Single perspective - Complete the world in one session without turning the Vita.

Thoughts on trophy: Whether or not you achieve is will be dependent on how well you handle the Vita for one section of the game. Rest of the world should be played with the Vita affixed to the same spot.

Before starting the stage, place your Vita on a hard surface and leave it there. As weird as this sounds, you may want to practice lifting the Vita and using the rear touch pad without rotating it once, then practice putting it down as well. Once you feel you're comfortable with it, it's time to begin!

This time you get the option to use Triangle to completely reset puzzles. Activate one of the rings and press O.

Three pillars should spawn. One of them should say 1/4. If you're not on top of this one, use Triangle to restart and activate the ring that corresponds to it, otherwise keep pressing O until the pillars are at their highest peak. Proceed to the next area.

Get on the pillar that says 0/4 and start shooting to raise it. Jump over and activate the ring in the center, then keep pressing O until the pillar to the right says 1/4, then move along.

The next part will have you sliding down a slope. When you reach the bottom, jump 4 times to extend the bridge, and land on the bridge that formed.

Jump on the blue pillar, then keep jumping until you get to the ring above. Activate it then press O. Drop down to the next area.

ALERT!
This is it. In this part you'll have to *gasp* use the rear touch pad! Start by jumping on the blue pillar, then head to the ledge just above where the enemies are. Make sure you're positioned so that you can shoot at the enemies below, like the picture below demonstrates.

Now the moment of truth comes. Carefully lift your Vita up, taking care not to rotate it, and use the rear touch pad to fire 3 shots that will hit the enemies. One enemy should still be alive after this. After that, set your Vita down carefully without rotating it. That's it. That's the only time you'll have to move your Vita, so hopefully you've done it correctly, otherwise you'll have to replay the whole stage again.

Now that that's done, jump on the blue pillar, which should say 3/7.

Start firing to raise it. Jump on the horizontal blue platform to reach the next area.

There's a collectible in this next area, get it if you want. As for getting through the area itself, keep going right until you fall to the ring near the blue block. Activate this ring, then press O twice to summon enemies. Now, move to the left while continuously jumping and kill both enemies before they fall.

Once they're dead, press O to warp back, and run past the newly opened gate.

Here, you must jump on the green pad 3 times, then kill the enemies.

Don't activate the ring below!

Press O to warp back,

You'll want it to look like this before warping back up.

and you should be able to cross to the next puzzle.

Press O 3 times to level the two columns, then jump on one of them,

activate the ring, then jump to the other ring and activate that. Keep alternating the ring activations until the purple platform has extended enough for you to cross. 3/5 is good enough.

There's a collectible in this next area. Get it if you want.
To get past the area, you'll have to do the following:
1. Press O once.
2. Fall into the pit 3 times.
3. Touch the enemy 4 times
4. Let the orange pillar crush you twice.

After doing those 4 things, you should get this nice staircase.

For this one, activate the ring in the middle that's below the orange pillar. Keep going right, then left until the orange pillar is out of sight, then press O.

This will warp you to the top and lower the blue pillar.

Get on it and start jumping until it's high enough. On to the next area after that.

Here, you'll want to get on the right orange platform.

Now move left until the right orange platform has extended all the way, then jump to the left, but in mid-air, start going right. Drop into the gap

and kill the enemy below. Press O to warp back. You can now go all the way right and drop down to the middle area where you can kill the two enemies to open the way to the next area.

For this one, drop down and activate the ring next to the blue platform as you fall.

Keep pressing O and going left until both platforms are at 0%, then press O one last time. Head to the top of the orange staircase, then jump to the left and activate the ring.

Extend the blue platform enough so that the ring is directly above it, then press O and advance to the next puzzle.

There's a collectible here. Get that if you want. To get past the area, drop down, shoot the enemy once, then touch it to warp back.

Warping back

Activate two rings and keep jumping until the blue platform is fully extended. Proceed to the final puzzle of this world.

Hold Triangle to reset the puzzle. The blue pillar should be at 13%. Now, jump to the right, but press O when in mid-air. Keep doing this until the orange platform has fully lowered. Jump from the top all the way to the bottom, and end the level.

To unlock the doors, keep shooting with R, then when the doors can move no further, rotate the Vita CW and CCW.
