Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Head east from the Map Stone, jumping over spikes, to an area with moving stone platforms.
  2. 2
    Navigate the first section with horizontally moving platforms, then drop down past vertically moving platforms. Time your descent to avoid being crushed.
  3. 3
    At the bottom, go right and continue east to encounter your first boss.
  4. 4
    To defeat the boss, a long purple slime that pops from the ground: move slightly to the side when it appears, then spam Spirit Flame while dodging its projectiles and the resulting explosion blobs. Repeat this process.
  5. 5
    After defeating the boss, wall jump up the right side to collect the first Keystone.
  6. 6
    Return to the horizontally smashing stone platforms and find the Map Stone Fragment on the other side of the large pillar.
  7. 7
    Go back to the Map Stone and insert the fragment to reveal the map of the area.
  8. 8
    Head east again, past the horizontal smashing platforms, to reach vertically smashing pillars. Constantly move right to avoid being squished.
  9. 9
    On the other side, kill the frog and spider, then drop down.
  10. 10
    To the left, you will see two moving pillars. Jump over the first spiked pillar to grab the second Keystone, then jump back to the right when both pillars are at their midpoints.
  11. 11
    With both Keystones, head to the Spirit Gate and open it.
  12. 12
    Past the gate, jump over a spike platform and wall jump down to the bottom level, moving side to side to avoid spikes.
  13. 13
    Go east, past slime and a frog, to reach a new skill tree that grants the double jump ability.
  14. 14
    Practice double jumping in the area and collect the Spirit Container to the northwest.
  15. 15
    To return up the chasm with spike platforms, use timed double jumps, performing the second jump at the apex of the first for maximum distance.
  16. 16
    Back near the spider and frog, double jump up to the frog's previous perch and continue double jumping upwards.
  17. 17
    Kill the multiplying slime, drop down, and double jump to the Energy Cell.
  18. 18
    Return to the center area with the Map Stone. Double jump to the right wall and wall jump up to a vertical log.
  19. 19
    Double jump from this log to the vertical log to the west, performing the second jump at the end of the first for maximum distance.
  20. 20
    Jump to the level on the right, go west, drop down, and kill the spider.
  21. 21
    Continue dropping down and go east to a passageway with vertically smashing stones. Time your movement to pass through at the first opportunity.
  22. 22
    Drop down in the center to avoid being smashed, then wait for the pillars' timing to jump up and go to the right side. Drop down again.
  23. 23
    To the right, you will see an Energy Gate (requires 4 energy to open). To its right is an Ability Cell. Slide down the wall and double jump over the spikes when near them.
  24. 24
    Head back to the center and open the Energy Gate. Push the stone to block the laser.
  25. 25
    Go back to the top of this area and around to the other side. Kill the spider, then push the stone down to the level with the laser.
  26. 26
    Push this stone into the center gap to block the laser on the level below.
  27. 27
    Drop down to the bottom level, dodging projectile plants by double jumping.
