Chapter 7 - Escape from Other Mother | Coraline | Walkthrough, Gameplay, No Commentary
Coraline
Description
The *Coraline* video game, released for the PlayStation 2, Wii, and Nintendo DS, immerses players in the eerie and enchanting world of the stop-motion animated film. Players step into the shoes of Coraline Jones, a curious and adventurous girl who, feeling overlooked by her busy parents, discovers a hidden door leading to a seemingly perfect, yet ultimately sinister, parallel dimension. This "Other World" is ruled by the manipulative Beldam, or Other Mother, who seeks to trap Coraline forever. The game largely mirrors the movie's narrative, tasking players with exploring both worlds through a series of mini-games and fetch quests, collecting buttons, and interacting with memorable characters like the Cat and Wybie. Despite its faithfulness to the film's atmosphere and art style, the game was met with generally negative reviews, often criticized for its simplistic gameplay and perceived incompleteness.
Chapter 7, "Escape from Other Mother," marks the heart-pounding conclusion of Coraline's harrowing ordeal. This crucial segment is not a singular event but a gauntlet of escalating challenges designed to test everything the player has learned. The once alluring Other World begins to fracture, exposing the Beldam's true, terrifying nature. Coraline bravely proposes a deal to the Beldam: if she can recover the souls of three ghost children and find her parents, all those ensnared by the Other Mother will be freed. The Beldam, overconfident, agrees, initiating Coraline's desperate race against time.
The chapter's trials begin with a chilling encounter in the warped garden. Coraline's Other Father, now a monstrous puppet, relentlessly pursues her on a grotesque, insect-like tractor. Players must navigate the decaying landscape, dodging the tractor's assaults and solving environmental puzzles to cause its destruction. In a pivotal moment, the Other Father, briefly regaining his senses, sacrifices himself to give Coraline the first ghost eye. The next formidable obstacle is the dilapidated theater, where the Other Miss Spink and Miss Forcible have coalesced into a horrifying taffy-like monstrosity. This boss battle demands agile platforming and precise slingshot aiming to defeat the creature and retrieve the second ghost eye from its sticky remains. After collecting the final ghost eye, often guarded by the Other Wybie or through a chase involving the Beldam's rat spies, the game builds to its ultimate confrontation. The Other World deteriorates rapidly, signaling the impending showdown.
The climax unfolds in the Beldam's living room, where she reveals her true, eight-legged, arachnoid form. The final boss fight is an intense, multi-stage battle requiring quick reflexes and strategic use of Coraline's abilities, including the Cat's assistance, often featuring quick-time events to dodge devastating attacks and land critical blows. Upon defeating the Beldam, Coraline must execute a frantic escape back through the magical door, the Other World collapsing around her. In a final tense chase, aided by the freed ghost children, Coraline slams the door shut, trapping the Beldam and successfully returning to her own world, having saved her parents and liberated the trapped souls.
