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.
Heart Squids
- The first one you'll see is located in the room with those strange plants all over the place, you can't reach it yet and must come back later with the Cannon in order to get it.
- The second one is found in the next room directly to the left, which is accessed by going to the top left part of the room with the first Heart Squid. Here you'll find it by dropping down while remaining to the right, you can go back up by using the red plant available.
- The third Squid can be found right after that. It's in plain sight and you'll get it by standing on the gray platform provided and move left, this will make Shantae crawl and fall to where the Squid is.
