The Windmill
However, it's rather unorthodox, lacking much information, writing, and general content.
Also, we'll need some pictures in the gallery, as well as the summary.
The Windmill is one of the four mountain peaks featured in Alpine Skyline. It contains many difficult platforming sections, including wallclimbing, spinning platforms and moving platforms, making the Windmill one of the most challenging missions of A Hat in Time.
Summary
The Windmill is a platforming mission, requiring Hat Kid to hop around spinning/moving platforms and advance up to the top of it. Halfway through the windmill, Hat Kid will have to get outside for a bit, and platform through some plateaus before getting inside the windmill again. Once she's got to the top, the Timepiece will be available between some crates.
Collectibles
The Windmill is an act belonging to the chapter Alpine Skyline. Due to its nature of being a vast, open world, many items can be found all around. A list of every available collectibles up on Alpine Skyline can be found here
Strategy
- Relying heavily on cycles, platforming through The Windmill could be annoying. To combat this, the Timestop Hat is highly recommended. As it greatly extends the timings of hopping onto moving platforms.
- With the Timestop Hat's high recharge time, the Fast Hatter Badge is also recommended.
- It is best to be patient and prepare yourself for a cycle, as messing up means making Hat Kid fall down and lose progress.
- Other than that, if you feel like the mission is too difficult, you'd better be refining your platforming skills. As there isn't really a shortcut through the level. Though, maybe the Assist Mode could help.
Music
- The Windmill Peak - The primary theme when Hat Kid Platforms through the windmill.
- This is possibly inspired by Song of Storms from The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time.
Diary Entry
After each mission, Hat Kid will express her thoughts into her diary, which can be found inside her pillow fort.
"I think I need to lie down. Why’d it have to land at the top of that windmill?
"That thing was huge! Why would you build anything that big?"
