Canyon

The **Canyon** is the third and penultimate chapter of struggling, and the first time the brothers go outdoors. The chapter begins with troy falling down after a very scary tour of the cave, in which they got met with an explosion, leading them here and promptly ends when the duo gets covered in hallucinogenic spores after falling down the hole of a temple.

Right off the bat, canyon is noticeably more difficult than the previous 2 chapters, and not to mention, the longest since the canyon clocks in at 11 sub areas. The hazards happen to be cacti, an airplane, heights, lombrics, thorny vines, arrows, javelins, spikes, a crushing trap and spiked ball traps. Canyon also introduces ziplines and Geysers that can help troy in his abysmal pilgrimage. The boss is Agamemnus, The amalgam of seduction, a being of heads meshed together into one, which offer an Abomination God Blessing. The chapter also has 10 hats and 10 exclusive achievements. It goes with a wild west theme but after agamemnus it switches to a temple theme.

This chapter has the following music: It's a Western, C O W A B O I Bang! Bang!, Legless hike, Plain biking, water theme, sunset crawler, chickenless pickin', A love struggle: meat and greet, A love struggle: Glamorous Gaze, A love struggle: Nerdy Schoolgirl Heart, A love struggle, Turbo Bragger, A love Struggle: Unholy Switcharoo, A farewell to love, Marble Muscles and Forgotten Hole Of Madness.

Canyon is preceded by Cave and succeeded by Buzz.

## Game Areas

### Canyon I - Stereotypical Western Desert

This is the first game area of the canyon(and the first sub-area to take place outdoors). The brothers fall and take plenty of damage while looking severly injured, from that point, they witness a scientist getting her head busted by a geyser, thereby introducing them, then the brothers go through a saloon.

### Canyon II - Hiker's Club Training Grounds

This level introduces hikers, in which they are humans that, while grabbed, fall shortly after and climb back up. Troy traverses them to continue.

### Canyon III - Deadly Signage

A very short area, in which you use signs to your advantage in order to traverse.

### Canyon IV - Cacti Canyon

This area has many difficult obstacles involving cacti and nothing more,

### Canyon V - Emergency Plane Landing

In this part of the chapter, the brothers find a dirt bike, and birds fly away, into one of the plane's wings, causing the plane to crash and chase after troy(presumably unintentionally).

### Canyon VII - Airline Zipline

This area still consists of giant mangroves, as well as hikers and ziplines and nothing more, also brings back lombrics.

### Canyon VIII - Sundown Gymnastics

Here, troy must evade thorny vines after getting past one more giant mangrove with plenty of hikers, in which he encounters Agamemnus. After their date with the amalgam of seduction, they get time alteration and move on.

### Canyon IX - Vestiges of the Muscle Nation

At this point, the canyon turns from western theme to greek theme. There are many traps troy must traverse through and many challenged that advocate time alteration.

### Canyon X - Muscle Temple

More traps, and troy must use javelins to traverse through the temple.

### Canyon XI - Stairs of the Forbidden Gods

This level consists of a giant flight of stairs and one final challenge. Troy encounters a platform that falls and breaks overtime, in which troy automatically uses time alteration to avoid traps, and in the end, falls on top of strange mushrooms that release spores that cause the pair to hallucinate, putting an end to the canyon chapter.

## Aftermath

After falling on mushrooms, troy becomes stuck in his fantasy world, where he goes through wacky adventures to reach to the final boss, Morpheus.
