  1. 1
    Board the moving platform and evade the falling stones. Proceed to the left room.

  4. 4
    Enter the next room and attempt to exit through the bottom door.

    You will face the SUB-BOSS: DARK NUT ELITE. This is an enhanced Dark Nut. Use the same strategy as before, such as planting bombs as traps or performing a Dash Attack on its back. Approximately four hits should defeat it. A blue portal will appear.

    Exit south. Be cautious of traps in this area. Roll counter-clockwise around the room twice. On the first pass, hit the switch. On the second pass, exit south.

    Head east. Bomb the area between the skulls. Enter the newly opened path and open the chest to obtain the Mole Mitts. Assign them to a button.

  9. 9
    Return to the previous room and proceed to the right. Jump down.

    Head all the way south and go through the door at the bottom.
  11. 11
    Dig out the pillar and push it onto the button. Open the chest for a Kinstone Piece.
  12. 12
    Climb the ladder. Up here, push the top-right stone. A red portal will appear. Step into it.
  13. 13
    Head down. Dig to the left and proceed to the hidden door. Enter it.
  14. 14
    You will fight two Wizzrobes. Slash them as soon as they appear. Your reward is 80 Shells.
  15. 15
    Exit the room and dig to the left to uncover another chest containing a Kinstone Piece.
  16. 16
    Dig all the way east. You will find a Big Rupee (worth 50 Rupees).
  17. 17
    Return to Door #1. Climb up two floors. Dig to the top right to find a chest with a Kinstone Piece.
  18. 18
    Climb the next ladder. Dig to the switch, hit it, and open the new chest for another Kinstone Piece.
  19. 19
    (Optional) On the third floor of Door #3, there is another Kinstone Piece in a chest. Climb the ladder and up here is the final chest with a Kinstone Piece.
