Introduction
Does this image fill you with dread?



If not, you haven't been in the Frog Room yet.


But since you're reading this guide, chances are you've been to the Frog Room. Most likely you stayed there longer than you intended. You know well that the Frog Room doesn't need an introduction. You know how THIS feels:



Safe Space
Above the walls lies a safe space. Frogs cannot reach there easily. Getting to this safe space is a challenge. A simple rocket jump just does not give enough of a boost.



Luckily, at this point of the game we have an additional tool in our disposal: Grenade Launcher. While it alone doesn't provide enough height, combining it with Rocket Launcher enables us to reach the safe haven!

There is a method to enable you to reach the safe space using Grenade Launcher and Rocket Launcher consistently.
The Method
Advantages: easy to perform
Disadvantages: so easy, you will feel guilty

To jump on a ledge of the safe space, you need to combine boosts from a grenade and a rocket. Here's a method to do it consistently:

1. Stand in front of the red backpack



MAKE A SAVE HERE. Not only a quick save, but a proper save just in case. It might take several tries to successfully perform a grenade-rocket jump.

After picking up the backpack, the frogs will be activated. If you want to take your time and practice, do not pick up the backpack. But for your actual attempt, you must pick up the backpack
2. Turn around and aim at the nearest corner to the entry door.



Don't worry about the precision too much; there are no specific set of pixels you have to hit.
3. Shoot at the corner using Grenade Launcher.



DO NOT HOLD DOWN THE LEFT MOUSE BUTTON. One simple click is all you need.
4. Switch your weapon to Rocket Launcher and run to the grenade



DO NOT TOUCH THE GRENADE, it will explode prematurely! You have to run next to it, not on it.
5. When you are next to the grenade, rocket jump.












In case you don't know how to rocket jump: while running, aim down, shoot a rocket and jump at the same time. Do not stop pressing forward.

6. Success!



If you did everything correctly and were lucky, you are safe!

Grenade timer

Don't rush. You have time. It takes a while for the grenade to explode on its own. Focus on positioning.

This video demonstrates the grenade's timer:


If you are not careful, frogs can still get to you



Frogs jump very high. Not high enough to reach the safe space, though. Nevertheless, frogs can jump on top of each other. With extra height, they may reach you. This is most likely to happen in the beginning waves, since there are many more frogs. To prevent frogs from reaching you, shoot them down as quickly as possible. An optimal spot would be at a corner:



If you are using Rocket Launcher to clear out the frogs, MAKE SURE TO AIM HIGH.

You don't want to hit a high jumping frog straight with your rocket. It will damage you.



It is time to see yourself out

Good luck!

at that point just play the room normally

You don't need a grenade for a rocket jump.

However, you do need both a grenade and a rocket to execute an explosive jump in order to reach the ledge in the Frog room. A regular rocket jump alone doesn't provide enough height to access the ledge.

It is also possible to reach the ledge using two rockets, but this approach requires shooting the second rocket at a precise angle towards the wall that the player is hugging. This method requires practice or luck.

Instead, this guide presents an easy, reliable method anyone can follow straight away: shoot grenade at the corner, come close to the grenade, rocket jump, aim for the ledge. Doesn't get simpler than that.

You don't need the granade launcher for rocket jump
