Ingot Isle Walkthrough
Ingot Isle Tutorial
| Step-by-Step Guide | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Press Y to punch through the wall. |
| * | Y is the default button for Punching. Punch through dirt and terrain to uncover gold and collectibles hidden in the walls.
▶︎ Controls and Movement |
| 2 |  Punch the Banandium Gem to consume it, and punch the wall beyond to progress. |
| 3 |  In the next area, you will learn that you can Jump with A. When you are ready to continue, proceed through the tunnel. |
| 4 |  Collect the Banandium Gem at the end of the mining belt then punch the ground below. Continue punching downwards until you fall to an opening. |
| 5 |  Climb onto the pressure plate device and perform a Dive Punch. To Dive Punch, jump with A then press B while mid-air. This will cause the wall in front to collapse. |
| 6 | Use R to perform a Hand Slap and collect all the fallen gold. You can also use R to momentarily reveal hidden items within a terrain. Take note that gold may disappear if you don't pick it up after a period of time. |
| 7 |  Perform a Hand Slap near the colorful handprints on the ground. This will cause platforms to rise, and allow you to reach a Checkpoint. Checkpoints are activated by punching them. ▶︎ All Checkpoint Locations |
| 8 |  Use the Hand Slap to find the Banandium Gem hidden in a pile of mud. Punching checkpoints will also reveal hidden items. |
| 9 |  Break the wall to access the next area. Perform a Dive Punch on the pressure plate across the mining belt to continue ahead. |
| 10 |  Defeat the monsters in the cave by punching them. You can also pick up the debris they drop by pressing ZR and launching them to cause explosive damage. ▶︎ How to Throw Chunks |
| 11 |  Go up the gold tunnel until you reach the Banandium Gem at the top. |
Ingot Isle Cave-In Tutorial
| Step-by-Step Guide | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Press X to punch upwards. |
| 2 |  Go forward and punch through the dirt. Use the gold pieces and speech bubbles from the trapped monkeys to guide your way out. |
| 3 |  Punch the cracked wall several times to break it. Talk to the monkey here before dropping down. |
| * | Feel free to explore this area. Pay attention to the dialogue boxes of the monkeys, since they may lead you to Banandium Chips or gold. Turnips are also available in this area, which you can pull out for gold. Crates can be destroyed to give you gold or items such as Balloons. |
| 4 |  When you're ready, go into the Barrel Cannon on the platform surrounded by monkeys. Press A to launch yourself upwards. |
| 5 |  Press ZR to tear off a chunk of rock then swing it at the thorns blocking your way. Head up using the Barrel Cannon once the path is cleared. ▶︎ How to Tear Off Chunks |
| 6 | Talk to the monkey in front of the purple-covered Barrel Cannon. Then, go to the right through the tunnel to investigate what landed in the crater. Keep in mind that you will not be able to break any Voided terrain. |
| 7 |  Drop down and hold down ZR to free the talking rock. |
| 8 |  Follow the talking rock into a tunnel. Tear off a chunk of terrain, and hit the monsters trapping it in the back to quickly defeat them. |
| 9 |  Hold the L shoulder button to make music and calm the talking rock. ▶︎ How to Whistle and Make Music |
| * | Whenever you get lost, hold L to create a musical trail to guide you to your next objective. |
| 10 |  Exit the cave and head straight ahead. Climb up the wall using the Left stick. |
| 11 |  Hold down L to break the seal on the mysterious gizmo. Once the seal is broken, punch the gizmo to break it and restore the terrain. |
| 12 |  Jump into the Barrel Cannon to reach the Baboomtown Entrance. |
| 13 |  Make your way to Baboomtown Square by going through the path on the right. Tear off a chunk of terrain, and hit the thorny moving blocks in your way. |
| 14 | There will be enemies on the path that burrow in the ground. Defeat them by using Dive Punch when they're underground or by throwing a chunk of terrain at them when they're above ground. |
| 15 |  Talk to the monkey with a yellow exclamation point near the Baboomtown Square checkpoint. |
| * |  If you need healing, go to the right of the checkpoint to find a large apple. Eating apples restores health. ▶︎ How to Heal and Increase Max Health |
| 16 |  Ride the Barrel Cannon ahead to reach the Banana Mine Climb. Destroy the Terravoider gizmo found here, then use another Barrel Cannon to go up. Make sure to only fire when the gold sections are aligned in the middle. |
| 17 | Tear off a chunk of terrain, and use it as a weapon to clear the thorns and the Molevoloid enemies. Head to the top of the Banana Mine. |
| * |  A rope is available along the way, which you can activate to create a shortcut in case you fall to the bottom. |
| 18 |  Jump into the Barrel Cannon and launch yourself up. For the second Barrel Cannon, wait until it points diagonally to the right before pressing A. Make sure to only fire the Barrel Cannons when they point in the direction you need to go. |
| 19 |  Defeat the Rock Monster guarding the Void Stake by destroying its rock armor then punching the gold creature underneath. |
| 20 |  After its defeat, you will obtain a Void Key which is used to break the seal. Punch the Void Key then destroy the Void Stake. |
| 21 |  Dive into the hole to go to the next layer. ▶︎ Lagoon Layer Walkthrough |
