Cackle Tower

The entrance to Cackle Tower.

Cackle Tower is the second labyrinth in The Pirate's Curse . It is located on Spiderweb Island and is where the player acquires Risky's Hat.

In order to gain access you must have an item given to you by Poe.

In some areas of the Tower you will encounter Succubi . The puzzles here consist of you trying to navigate your way using strange plants that send Shantae straight out of their mouths in whatever direction you press (if they were green) or automatically send her in a fixed direction.

Boss

The boss of this labyrinth is the giant spider you saw trying to eat Rottytops earlier. Her proper name is Empress Spider, also dubbed the "Chit-Chat Queen Royale". She isn't that much harder from the last boss but beating her can be tricky

• When she lowers herself you may attack her with the hair whip.
• When she spits eggs out of her mouth onto the ground, get rid of these before they hatch either by using the pistol or whipping them; else spiders will come out of them and make things harder.
• When she spits fire, wait for a bit; when the fire begins to spread jump over and use Risky's Hat to glide over it.
• After she receives enough damage she will move faster and faster, but she won't be adding anything new to the mix so just keep on doing what you were already doing but at a faster pace.
