Theo Crystal: Difference between revisions

A Theo Crystal 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 in order to progress: a brown-colored temple gate, blocking her path, will open if and only if a Theo Crystal is near it.

Releasing the button used for climbing will throw a Theo Crystal in the direction Madeline faces in. To drop a crystal without throwing it (neutral drop), you need to press the down button before releasing the button used for climbing.

It is possible (and sometimes required) to activate yellow-colored dash switches by throwing a Theo Crystal into them. [[Touch switches]] can also be activated 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.

* Eyes in the background, platforms, and the eye in the end always look at a Theo Crystal.

* 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.

* AThis crystal is an expression of Theo's negative psychic energy, as mentioned in the dialogues.
