This is my You Have to Burn the Rope walkthrough.

CONTROLS:
RIGHT Arrow - Move right
LEFT Arrow - Move left
Space bar or Up Arrow - JUMP
Any other key - ATTACK

Wait until it says "Click to Start". Click.

You will fall down into a tunnel. Below you there will be some big writing that says "You Have To Burn The Rope". Under, as well as beside, there is some smaller text. Ignore the small text.

Press and hold the RIGHT Arrow on your keyboard. Let go of the RIGHT Arrow when you get under the text that says "1. There's a boss at the end of this tunnel". Read the Text.

Once you have finished reading, press and hold the RIGHT Arrow again. Let go when you get to the wall. On the other side of the wall there is text saying "2. You can't hurt him with your weapons". Read the text.

You may have noticed there is a wall in front of you, that you can't walk up. Simply JUMP and press the RIGHT Arrow.

If done correctly you should be above the text that says "2. You can't hurt him with your weapons". Continue until you get to the ledge. Don't worry, there is no fall damage. Press the RIGHT Arrow to fall to the ground.

Press and hold the RIGHT Arrow until you get to the text "3. To kill him you have to burn the rope above". Read the text. Press and hold the RIGHT Arrow until you fall of the ledge.

You will see some text below you that says "Have fun!". Read it. You will notice the music changes to a more ominous score, indicating that the boss is close. Press and hold the RIGHT Arrow until you fall of the ledge and come to a stairway above you. *Note the ledge you just fell from is too high to jump back onto, so there is no turning back now.

A wall should pop into existence behind you, the music should change, and the boss (and his life bar at the top of the screen) should appear. If none of these have happened, press and hold the RIGHT Arrow until the event occur.

The boss, known as Grinning Colossus should just be sitting there with his mouth open. If you go too close, he will shoot at you.

JUMP LEFT to land on the first ledge. JUMP RIGHT to get to the second ledge. You may have touched the fire during that jump. If you have, you will see that your character is now holding a stick with fire on it. The fire goes out eventually, so you have to move fast.

JUMP RIGHT until you are on the highest point of the ledge. JUMP LEFT to the third ledge. There is another opportunity to obtain the fire during this jump.

Continue JUMPing LEFT until you are on the highest point of the third ledge. Then JUMP RIGHT to the final ledge. During the jump, there was your last opportunity to obtain the fire.

If you missed the fire JUMP LEFT and fall back to the third ledge. JUMP RIGHT again onto the final ledge, passing through the fire. If you missed it again, repeat the process.

On the final platform, continue RIGHT until you fall down slightly. You will now be on a catwalk high above the floor you started on. JUMP RIGHT and you will find you are on the next platform of the catwalk.

JUMP RIGHT again to get to the third segment of the catwalk. On the right side of the screen, you will see a chandelier hanging by a rope. That is your objective.

JUMP RIGHT to get to the platform in front of the chandelier. JUMP RIGHT one last time. As long as your fire touches the rope nothing else matters. The chandelier will fall and kill Grinning Colossus. Even if you land on him it is okay, because you have infinite life.

If at any point you fell back to the ground, go LEFT back to the stairway, and repeat the process outlined in this walkthrough.

There are other methods of killing Grinning Colossus, but for the sake of simplicity, they will not be outlined in this walkthrough.

Once you have defeated Grinning Colossus, listen to the credit music, and think of how you're going to spend the rest of this day. Maybe watch a video, maybe press refresh and start again.

Walkthrough for the greatest title of all time: You Have To Burn The Rope.

1) Click this link: [www.kongregate.com]
2) Once the page has fully loaded, click where it says "Click to Start".
3) Use the arrow keys to move and jump. Get to the end of the tunnel. The path will close behind you.
4) Go up either side of the level and jump to the top. You will grab fire on your way up. Jump to the middle and light the chandelier's rope on fire. (YOU HAVE TO BURN THE ROPE!)

Congratulations, you did it! If you messed up, don't worry, the boss, the Grinning Colossus, can only stun you. Just jump back up and burn the rope.

Enjoy the song!
