Theo Crystal: Difference between revisions

A '''Theo Crystal''' (often shortened to just '''Theo''') is an object that appears in {{ch|5A|lf=1}} and {{ch|5B|lf=1}}. As the name suggests, it features [[Theo]] trapped inside a pentagon-shaped crystal. [[Madeline]] needs to carry it with her to progress: a brown temple gate, blocking her path, will open if and only if a Theo Crystal is near it.

A Theo Crystal can be carried by holding the button used for climbing. While held, it slows Madeline down and makes her unable to dash or grab walls. Madeline can still perform walljumps, including [[neutral jumps]], normally.

Dash Platforms and Springs give [[momentum]] to a Theo Crystal. If a [[Seeker|Seeker]] crashes into the crystal, Madeline may drop it. A Theo Crystal can freely pass through spinners and spikes, however, it dies when crushed or dropped into a pit unless Invincibility is on. This kills Madeline too, but it can be circumvented by [[mods]] like Disposable Theo.

It is possible (and sometimes required) to activate yellow-colored dash switches by throwing a Theo Crystal into them. [[Touch switches]] can also be activatedtriggered by it. Additionally, in the final room of {{ch|5A|lf=1}}, a Theo Crystal must be thrown into the eye; this will destroy both the crystal and the eye, freeing Theo.

* In {{ch|5B|lf=1}}, it is possible to collect a Red [[Crystal Heart]] by throwing a Theo Crystal at it instead of dashing into it.
