Imagine being shrunken into dolls while navigating icy villages and relationship drama - that's the wild ride Hazelight Studios crafted in 2021's It Takes Two. Four years later, this co-op masterpiece still has players obsessing over achievements while helping Cody and May repair their marriage. Among those shiny trophies, "Mood Swing" stands out as a hilarious hidden gem requiring perfect snow-globe shenanigans. ❄️✨
❄️ Step 1: Freeze Frame at Winter Village
First things first - boot up that chapter select menu! Head straight for "Snow Globe" and pick the "Winter Village" checkpoint. New players should pause their main quest progression here. That frosty hamlet isn't just backdrop - it's trophy territory. Spot those candy-cane rooftops and frozen ponds? Good. Now ignore the storyline about thawing the village for a hot minute. Achievement hunting comes first!
🔍 Step 2: The Lonely Swing Detective
Once you've finished melting the storyline ice (ironic, right?), explore the upper tier of this gingerbread-town-gone-Arctic. Among the trio of minigames hidden here - seriously, grab "Minigame Megalomania" while you're at it - lies your target: a solitary snowman chilling on a crimson swing. Not just any swing though. Peek behind it. See that glaring red magnet? That's your golden ticket. The little dude's oblivious bliss is about to end. 😏
🧲 Step 3: Magnetic Mayhem
Time for physics fun! Position Cody BEHIND the swing and May IN FRONT. Sync those magnetic powers - or let one player go rogue, teamwork's flexible here. Now PULL. Hard. The goal? Whiplash that swing until Mr. Snowman becomes Mr. Snow-missile. Two full rotations usually does the trick. That swoosh sound? That's the sweet symphony of trophy unlock! Both players score "Mood Swing" simultaneously when he goes airborne. Easy peasy... unless you accidentally magnetize a nearby igloo instead. 🤷♀️
