Bravery Test | Da Vinci's Hideout LittleBigPlanet 2 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Collectibles: 40 items
At the beginning of the level there's a place for a sticker which you will obtain in a couple minutes (thanks to it you will gain a couple bonus levels - description below!). [1] For now move left and climb up the platforms. Before you move higher, grab the sticker floating in the air. [2]
Go past the red button to pick up the prize bubble hidden in the web. [1] Now stand on the button and pull up using the sponge which will be lowered. Turn left and jump on the moving platforms in order to activate the switch on the left. [2]
Go even higher and collect two items beside the half of a big gear (one is in the corner on the right, you need to jump). [1] Now climb the gear to the left side and turn it with the switch. [2]
Use the switch on the right - launch pads will appear in the further window. [1] Firstly jump down to grab the prize bubble and then go up. [2]
Run to the left and you will have to jump over a pit - jump before the wooden arm (if you step on it, it will close and throw you down). [1] On the far left you will find a button on the wall - press it and jump up using the launch pads (collecting the bubbles). [2]
Upstairs, jump over the pit to collect the bubble. [1] Jump down - right before the electrified floor a platform will appear and save you. [2] Follow it right and climb up.
This time you will have to play with electricity - pressing the button (by jumping) will switch off the power for a moment and thanks to that you will be able to move on. [1] As for now, ignore the bubbles below the ceiling - you can get them only after sticking a wooden gear sticker at the beginning of the level. Use the launch pad in the niche to get higher. [2]
Above the situation repeats - here however you can get two bubbles after switching off the power. [1] In order to move on, you have to also press the button on your way and end your run on the launch pads in the niche. [2]
One more run through electrified ground awaits you - of course first turn the power off. [1] Upstairs you will find a cannon and Da Vinci inviting you to step inside. Before jumping inside, stand below the cannon and go deeper in - you can find items by jumping in two places. [2]
After being launched from the cannon and landing, firstly head right, collect the key and items hidden behind the books. [1] Now head left and go down - jump above the electrical parts using the launch pads. [2]
Avoid the next traps with the grappling hook - don't let go at once, but check if you can get an item by swinging on the sponge. [1] The hardest collectible to get is the bubble at the end of this short track - you can get it by falling down through the middle part of the "vent". [2]
2 players zone
On the left there's a 2 players zone - the entrance activates with two players present in the game. [1] Overall it's easy, but requires good synchronization - one player activates the platforms with the switch and the other has to jump between them onto the upper platform with items (see the movie). [2]
Bravery Test - 2 players zone. One player switches the synchronized platforms. The other jumps between them.
###1,6###
Move on right and up using the grappling hook, [1] and afterwards down again. This time you have to grab the sponges and lower yourself carefully to avoid getting electrocuted. Collect the item bubbles and move on. [2]
You will reach a big slope and a sponge placed on a twisted rail. [1] Grab with the grappling hook and ride down - not to the very bottom, jump left onto the platform to get the bubble. [2]
At this spot it's best to jump onto the electricity - you will return to the last checkpoint and will be able to ride down the sponge again. This time stretch the line to the maximum - this way you will find yourself below the corridor and grab more items. [1] From here you can pull yourself up to the exit. [2] This is not the end of the level - we will complete it again to collect the rest of the items.
Second attempt - with the Wooden Gear stamp
During the level you will get the Wooden Gear 1 sticker - thanks to it you can activate the marked spot at the beginning of the level. [1] It will completely change the level - you will receive a grappling hook and a race which start, allowing you to max out the stage. [2]
While moving through the transformed level, use the grappling hook to catch previously inaccessible items. [1] Most of them can be found in visible and obvious places. [2]
The area with stars is rather peculiar - right after being shot from the cannon, grab the highlighted stars. [1] You can collect the missing items here. [2]
