Strand 1, Chapter 1
This one is fairly easy to get; at the beginning simply trail up the wall at the right hand side then immediately erase the green stuff starting from the bottom to quickly grow into the hole.
Strand 2, Chapter 2
Just before you come across the pony, there will be a tire dangling from above (it's easy to spot). This is a bit awkward but you must grow tall next to the tire, quickly grow on top of it and keep balanced as you grow onto the platform above.
Strand 3, Chapter 3
If you mess up on this, you can press esc and choose restart at checkpoint or kill yourself in the lava at the bottom to try again.

You will come across a ditch with a button at the bottom that activates the hay bales.You must cut off part of yourself so it rolls down the ditch and hits the button. Immediately destroy the part you cut off and try grow on top of the hay bale as it comes out and up the hatch.

If you're struggling with this, you can grow up through the hatch the second time it opens if you time it correctly. (the yellow light might help you with this).
Strand 4, Chapter 4
This one is a little crazy but again, if you mess up you can kill yourself via lava or respawn from checkpoint.

You will come across a point where you have to grow into a hook that will carry you over the lava. To get to the strand, you need to instead, grow tall and on top of it then juggle yourself as it speeds down over the lava.

At the end, the hook will stop, you will continue going and the hook will hit you directly above it, then you must quickly grow onto the two hooks.
Strand 5, Chapter 5
You should come across a checkpoint with an odd (illusion?) of a man with two children.

There will be a vent of air that blows you up to it. If you make yourself quite small and wide, it will shoot you high into the air. Try to keep a little to the right of the vent and desperately grow up the ledge towards the location of the Strand as soon as you hit it.
Strand 6, Chapter 6
This one may take you a lot of time and effort; you have to make a similar construction in the image between the rockets WITHOUT touching either one of the rockets.

Drop a tiny part of yourself between both rockets and wait until both rockets are back. Erase the rest of yourself that you left outside of them. Give yourself legs as this will stop you from rocking side to side when you're erasing yourself. Grow slowly up and try evenly reach yourself over the two rockets. Before launch, you must keep yourself as symetrical as possible. When you're happy with your construction, very quickly erase a line of your mushroomy self so that the two top parts hit the tops of the rockets at the same time.

You should sail freely and directly upward into the sky until you reach a hole, then you must erase yourself upward into it.
Strand 7, Chapter 7
You will come across a ball of twigs being blown back and forth in a little ditch as well as a hole with some spikes and a dead end that crushes and kills you beyond the ball.

You must still make a ramp for the ball to be blown up, but now you have to suspend it in the air and grow it towards the left quite quickly when the air stops blowing, then you just have to guide it to the death trap beyond the air vent.

Follow it through the spikes and it should get caught on them. The spikes will struggle to crush the ball and keep retracting. Make your way under the ball and keep going left behind an invisible wall.

Here is the video that previously helped me find all the strands, don't hesitate to use it if you're having trouble.










I hope my guide was helpful in some way, good luck with the strands! This is my first guide so some criticism in the comments would be very helpful.

i dont see where the hole is, every time i get up there it has a ceiling?

It is possible to get the seventh strand without getting the ball in between the trap. You just have to be fast enough and you will barely make it, that you regenerate inside the hidden tunnel. I just managed to do it.

It is definitely still possible to get the Pacifist achievement in Chapter 2 (I did it a couple of days ago). It was a little wonky though...the texture-clipping made my shroom very twitchy and I needed 2-3 attempts due to being catapulted into the textures... :lunar2019grinningpig:

I just managed to get strand 6 extremely easily. Rather than doing what your construction suggests, I balanced myself well enough on one of them to get up to the collectibles above, and then fell in a sufficiently horizontal shape to hit both of them at once (after allowing time for the rocket to reset).


While I'm at it, even though I know it's not the purpose of this guide, I'll mention Pacifist is definitely a Chapter 5 achievement and quite easy to get as well: simply don't eat the final diagonal strand at the end of the boss, when you're climbing out. I noticed in the discussions some people saying they did it on 2 which seems to have not been the intent of the game designers since they modified the level to make this impossible.

thanks! I've just finished the game (just recently got it) and it's great! Quite hard though. Now I may try to get the strands. Do you get anything aside the achievements?
