Night Market Minigames Guide - Oddities and Daring Races

Arachnid Invasion

Arachnid Invasion has four lanes and four flamethrowers. Spiders walk down all four lanes, and pressing a lane button fires that flamethrower. Pressing the same flamethrower too much in quick succession overheats it. If spiders reach a flamethrower, they web it, and overheating the flamethrower cleanses those webs. If a flamethrower gets too many webs, it turns off, and spiders in that lane automatically die when they shoot at the dead flamethrower. If two flamethrowers die, the activity fails. If a lane will be quiet for a while, overheat that flamethrower so it starts the next wave clean. The oddity is meant for more than one player, but the video shows it can be soloed. In testing, button presses felt faster with weapons sheathed, but that is not confirmed.

Rapid Extermination

Pick up fire at the Arac's Sacrifice icon, burn one egg at a green egg marker, then return to the fire pickup for another flame. Repeat fire pickup, egg, fire pickup, egg until all eggs are burned.

Daring Race

Arac's Sacrifice

A child of Arac follows you into battle.

The spider trails behind you, losing health whenever you're in combat. When it dies, you can step on its corpse and blast your enemies with 60000 Poison Damage within 30 meters. Honoring the little spider's sacrifice. Its corpse is nothing more than a poison mound that lasts for 30 seconds dealing 8500 Poison Damage every 1 second. Arac's Sacrifice only lasts 15 minutes. Effects are only active within the bounds of the Night Market.

Boulder Dash Northeast

Boulder Dash spawns boulders from black gates. Your goal is to land the boulder in the glowing golden gate. The red, blue, green, and yellow buttons activate bouncing plates, so press the buttons in the order that redirects the boulder into the gate. The Boulder Dash clips show a few patterns encountered during recording, but they are not every possible combination. Use them as examples for how the colored buttons redirect boulders into the golden gate.

Guiding Light

Guiding Light uses colored stone tablets to pass light across the puzzle platform. Each tablet has three directions, and the floor buttons rotate the tablets of that color. Light never crosses the middle, so treat the platform as two separate halves.

Simple method

This is usually enough to brute force the puzzle with the four tries you get.

1 Align red and yellow on the Top row, then stop touching red and yellow.
2 Align only green and blue on the Middle row.

Full method

Use this when the simple method fails or if you want a solution that works every time.

1 Align the yellow and red tablets on the Top row, then leave those buttons alone.
2 Check the Middle row. If red is wrong, align blue to the Top row yellow tablet and stop touching blue. If yellow is wrong, align green to the Top row red tablet and stop touching green.
3 Finish the left side by tweaking blue and green if they are still free. If red was wrong in step 2, you already stopped touching blue and this side is handled. If yellow was wrong in step 2, do not move green here.
4 Finish the right side by tweaking green and blue if they are still free. If yellow was wrong in step 2, you already stopped touching green and this side is handled. If red was wrong in step 2, do not move blue here.

There is a fourth row of tablets at the very bottom. These can't be rotated. Not all of them will shoot light, but the ones that will shoot briefly glow first.

Blue Red Yellow Green 1 Red and yellow first. Then leave them alone. 2 Quick method - align green and blue. Full method - if red is wrong, align blue. If yellow is wrong, align green. 3 Check the left side. Try the colors that are still free to move. 4 Check the right side. Try the colors that are still free to move.

Align red and yellow on the Top row. After that, stop touching red and yellow.

This video shows a successful completion. I cycled red three times in the video, but that was completely pointless. All that was needed was tweaking yellow and blue.
