All the levels featured in the original Braid make a return in Braid, Anniversary Edition, and this includes Cloud Bridge. Cloud Bridge is the second level featured in the game's second world, and while World 2 holds some of the easiest levels, it also holds a sneaky trick to get the final 2 puzzle pieces to complete World 2's painting.
Fun and inventive puzzles such as this are what made Braid such a massive success story. If you find yourself struggling to get puzzle pieces, there is no need to worry, as you don't need to collect every puzzle piece in order to unlock the next world.
7 Best Philosophical Puzzle Games
There are plenty of puzzle games out there for gamers to try, but not all of them embrace philosophical themes. Here are the best that do.
Crossing The Clouds In Braid
Go through the door that leads to World 2 and make your way to the second door to enter Cloud Bridge. Once you enter the level, head right, and you will pass a ladder and see a key. Go pick up the key before climbing the ladder to find a locked door. Open this door and ride the clouds being shot out of the canon. Head right while jumping on clouds to get the first two puzzle pieces of this level. That’s the easy part out of the way.
Completing The Painting In Cloud Bridge
Head right to find an enemy troll and a large puzzle board of a painting. You will see 2 more puzzle pieces, one high and one low. You will need to collect puzzle pieces from each of the other worlds, so the board looks as it is above. Don’t worry, you can return to any of the levels you have previously been to. Use the door to the right and return to this point once you have the other puzzle piece. The puzzles early on are pretty straightforward, but they will get tricky and require some hard thinking to solve.
How To Get The Final Cloud Bridge Puzzle Pieces
To get the remaining 2 puzzle pieces, you will need to move the puzzle up so that the platform in the painting can be used to jump between the two platforms above. After you get the higher puzzle piece, move the puzzle again so that the platform is connected to where the troll stops. Let the troll walk onto the platform.
The more you play through the game, the more your mind will adapt to how to solve the puzzles, adding new mechanics as you progress.
You can now either move it while the troll is standing on the painting's platform, or you can reverse time after moving the puzzle if the troll has already made it back to its original platform. This will cause the troll to fall down, allowing you to jump off its head to get the lower puzzle piece. Complete the puzzle and head out the door on the right. Now, you can exit the level, and the puzzle will be completed in the overworld.
