The Aurora Isles is a region. Regions categorize levels with similar characteristics that have been incorporated into the Clockworks.
Contents
Description
From atop mysterious floating islands, sun bleached ruins crumble under a false sky. Though the green grass and cool air feels real enough, the ever present grinding of the machine just below the surface is a constant reminder of this world's mechanical skeleton.
Notes
Each level map is fixed (vs. composed of random segments). When accessible via the arcade, they are always found in a rotation of 4 levels in the depth they occupy. The level rotation is 2 minutes. Compared to other areas, the Aurora Isles are a rare sight in arcade gates.
Levels are populated by multitudes of Wolvers and Jelly Cubes. A few Chromalisks, Lichens, and Lumbers appear in certain levels, and Gun Puppies only show up in The Low Gardens.
Similar grassy terrain can be seen in Jigsaw Valley levels. The Aurora Isles seem to be associated with the obsolete Starlight Cradle levels, sharing similar terrain and soundtrack.
History
The Aurora Isles area has been available for exploration since release 2011-04-04 when the game officially launched.
The Sea Petal Pass level (part of the Firefly Gate) was not released with the game's launch.
The 2-2 rank mission "Skies Under Cradle" used to showcase this set of levels, but this mission was removed with release 2013-07-30.
Strategy
Strategy DisclaimerA shadow sword will take care of slimes and is fine against beasts. A bomb such as the Obsidian Crusher or Dark Retribution will help quickly defeat groups of enemies here. Bring a handgun for Gun Puppies (such as the Polaris or Winter Grave) if exploring The Low Gardens.
