This section covers enemies and items found in the underground caverns and a specific boss fight. You'll encounter Rock Knights, Blue Venus weeds, Balloon Pods, Jack O’ Bones, Nova Skeletons, and Doppleganger40. Key items include an Opal, Life Max Ups, a diamond, a heart max up, meal tickets, and the Dark Blade. A peculiar interaction involves respawning peanuts that can be used as a healing item.

Tips

When navigating the Balloon Pods, hugging the right side while dropping allows you to slip past without popping them.
The peanuts found in the room near the Succubus's former location can be equipped and used as a healing item by pressing UP on the D-pad.
During the Doppleganger40 fight, the Gas Cloud form is effective for dealing damage.
In the room with numerous Octopi, it's advisable to avoid them using the Mist form to conserve HP and time.
