Yerba Buena is a new puzzle adventure game from developers Mad About Pandas. While some puzzles are simple, in general it is quite a complex puzzle game with its copy and paste mechanic. Thats where we come in as we have a full text based walkthrough to get you through the complex chapters. This guide will help you with chapter 4, the amusement park.
You begin chapter 4 by getting an upgrade for the Oscillator which allows you to make glitched items vanish. With this new power go ahead and zap some of the…steam that is shoot yo into the sky. You use this to make items vanish. Do so with the item blocking the path.
Now on the other side reverse that so the item is back in its place. In the middle of this second area is a fountain. Turn back towards where you came from and zap the steam again and use it on the fountain.
With the fountain out of the way look to the side to see a shooting duck game. Scan a duck and then use it on the first obstacle to push it all the way up against the wall. Once it’s in place return the fountain and do the same with it, pushing it up against the booth allowing you to use them both as stairs to climb to the next area.
Start this area by zapping the steam and then making the roof of a merry-go-round above you disappear. You will then go to the feat of strength machine and stand on the button which will make the weight move up and down.
Zap the weight while it is heading up and then go stand on the glitched car in the middle. Shoot the car and you will fly high in the air. At your apex quickly return the merry-go-round roof so you land on top and move to the next section.
The next section you need to launch a ball in the plinko style wall to your right and get it into the middle slot. Start by looking high above where you just came from to see a train car moving along some rails and zap it.
Now look to the machine and move the very top left peg so that its press against the side. Then find some steam, zap it and make the left peg in the second row from the bottom disappear. Physics might make you remove the one directly above the correct spot too, but you should be fine as is.
Now step on the button here to have the ball come out. Assuming it falls into the correct place a door will open under the machine.
Now return the upper most peg in the machine to its original spot. Zap the train car above again and move the bottom most peg against the side this time. Use the roller coaster car that is moving slowly downwards in the distance to then drop that same peg to the floor.
Next look to the drop zone ride and zap it. Head into the machine and jump on top of the lowered peg and shoot it with the upward motion. If setup right this should launch you into the top of the machine and through the door that’s there.
Proceed now and hop into the roller coaster for a scene. Afterwards head into the first room. On your right at the front of it will be a coffee maker. Interact with it and turn it on. Scan the smoke it now made and head to the next room. Here you will see a glitching floor which you can shoot to make disappear and drop down.
You will rinse and repeat this all the way down to the 5th floor. Each one gets a bit more complicated but simply look for the coffee maker then look for a wall or floor to remove. Except either the 7th or 8th, it just has a set of stairs you can go down, no coffee maker needed.
On the 5th floor head into the larger room and there will be a wall on the inside that you can make vanish. Once you do just go through it and there will be stairs down.
The 4th floor is another pretty simple one. As soon as you get down look out the window at the roller coaster car thats moving and zap it. Move to the next room and look through the glass at the other side. You can use the previous zap now to move that entire room and drop down.
Third floor you will need to open up an outside wall so that you can see the outside roller coasters. Scan the coaster and then go stand on the piece of floor here that can be manipulated. When on it use the oscillator to move it across the room. It will stop about halfway but you can then see the next spot to jump down to and get to the 2nd floor.
Return that floor piece once down on the 2nd floor so you can run across to interact with the coffee machine. Zap the coffee machine then had back through the hall and make the outside wall vanish. You will then see a roller coaster cart moving from right to left. Scan it it head back to the middle area. Across on the other side you will see another floor. Bring it to the middle by scanning it with the moving piece you have.
With that floor now in the middle of the room jump on it and jump across. What you need to do here is drop down through the first section of this currently vanished floor. As soon as you get through the first section quickly press the button to return it to its original spot. This will land you on the floor.
From here its as simple as taking the stairwell down, scanning the coffee maker thats at the bottom and opening up the piece of wall that you can to escape the area.
Lastly you will see a large boat infront of you. Follow the little path up and around so that you can jump up to the ladder. Zap the last coffee machine, make the door disappear and hop into the roller coaster car that is waiting for you. Following a cutscene you will have a large ladder to climb followed by another cutscene.
And that will end chapter 4 the Amusement Park. It was quite a tricky level and they only get more difficult from here. Chapter 5 and 6 however are simple and shouldn’t require any guides as there aren’t really any puzzles. For more Yerba Buena guides look below!
