Stupid fireflies

Any helpful comments on the firefly level? I keep getting stuck on Very Bright... Should I be going for "crazy dashing" Prince, or "stay in one area till everything is picked up" Prince? I usually head fairly early to the top of the hill, since there's several swarms of flies that are easy to get. Does it matter if you pick them up early, or is better to save them till later? Grr... :frusty

Two things, just go for big bunches at a time. Then worry about nitpicking. My way of doing it is waiting until I'm big enough to just keep dashing under the bridge, since it's the easiest, and fastest way to get fireflies under there while dashing. Also, remember that there are fireflies IN the waterfall, too.

C'N'R baby!
I start by going down to your right, then cut to the water, and get a bunch, then under the bridge thingy, then the area by the outdoor sinks. Then cross the river, up the hill, get all I can, drop to the weather station thingy, and repeat until I have 1 min left. When I have one min, I go near the guy (usually Very Bright by then) and get all the fireflys I can near him. I usually get it with about 10-15 seconds to spare.

I finally got it. Just a note, it seems you need 650 fireflies for dazzling. I think you can only get fireflies and cousins in this stage, so knowing the total number of flies you have is easy, and I'm pretty sure the levels of brightness go up at the same number of flies each time. Very bright seems to be 550, others I'm not sure of. If anyone is interested (maybe for your FAQ, vix), I'll look into it a bit more.

It's a very hard stage until you get it right. I finished it with 45 seconds left on the clock.

My strategy was to dash like crazy towards where there's the most fireflies and not stop very often... pretty simple, it just requires you know the map decently well, lapping it a few times is how its done mostly.

The worst part is that the prince gets tired after too much dashing. So annoying! :dead
