Overview
Welcome to my guide about a shortcut on the Finale-2 of the Chapter 8 (basically the last level of the game). It will save you a lot of pain, especially in Insane mode. However, if you’re trying to get a A++ rank of this level in Insane (you maniac !), this guide will be useless for you, sorry.
The shortcut
Note: If pictures aren’t visible, please click on them to view in large size.
First of all, there is one little requirement for this trick: the frog bomb. However, if you’re that far in the story, I think you had enough yarns to buy all the weapons and this will not be a problem to you.
So, you have to beat the Finale-1 first and I think it’ll be a relief to you to know that you’ll not see any canon in that level.
You have to start the level normally (so bring the boat to you and take it to reach the ladder and go up).
Then take the elevator, and collect the two gems on your way, until you’re at the part of the level you should normally reach near the ending.
Now you’re on the two blocks I show you in the following screen, just launch the frog on your right, so it’ll climb on the right wall). You have to wait the frog is in the top right corner to quickly go to the block just below the invisible one, where you’ll find the last gem requiered to end the level, so you don’t make explode your frog prematurely or you’ll have to launch another from the previous spot.
Note: be careful, don’t touch the explosive block or the laser will destroy your frog.
The tricky part is right now and it normally takes some trials to do it properly because the timing is quite short. You have to double jump then fall on the frog when it is at “in” the invisible block and kind of replace it as a spot where you can start your double jump to get to the catapult to finish the level. I you think you can’t reach the catapult; it is because you jump on the frog too early, so you just fall miserably on the spikes.
Be patient and restart the process each time you fail, you’ll achieve it at one time or another. Watch out however : the level isn’t really finished when you’ve reached the catapult, you still have to avoid the heat blocks at the right after bouncing on the ones at the left and do small jumps to get to the exit without being impaled by spikes.
Conclusion
So that’s it, you finished BattleBlock Theater and I’m proud of you (even if it’s with a C rank but who cares) !

PS: You might ask why not just use nerf gun or acid bubble. First, here we have ice blocks, so the darts don’t stick and you don’t have enough space to use the bubble without dying (however if someone achieve to do it, I need to see this).
