Forbidden Layer Walkthrough

Forbidden Sublayer 1500

Step-by-Step Guide
1
Go deeper into the Shuffling Shaft
Collect your bananas, and go deeper into the Shuffling Shaft.
2
Aim for the hole
Drop down the pit, aiming for the square with a fossil on the ground. Be careful since the rest of the pit crackles with electricity after every few seconds.
3
Climb onto the north wall
Wait for the electricity to turn off then climb onto the north-facing wall.
4
Punch the Dark Square
Punch through the darkened square that looks different from the rest.
*
Blocks change material
In this layer, certain blocks and terrain will flash between breakable and unbreakable during short intervals of time. Wait for the block to become breakable to interact with it.
5
Climb up the concrete structure
Make your way to the tall concrete structure, then climb up to the top.
6
Pay Securitone
Pay Securitone 2000 Gold. Take note that more Securitones will be in this layer, and you will need around 16,999 Gold in total to pay the ones that allow you to cross to the other side.
► How to Farm Gold
*
You can avoid paying this first Securitone by using the Ostrich Bananza form to flutter to the floating cube with a fossil. Then from here, flutter then glide towards the Second Concrete Tower.

You need to have the Glide and Better Flutter skills unlocked in order to pull this off.
► How to Use Ostrich Bananza Form
7
Throw chunks in the air
If you've paid the Securitone, you can throw chunks in the air to build bridges. The easiest chunk to get is either the yellow sand or a chunk from the blue Fractone.
8
Build towards the second concrete structure
Build a bridge towards the next concrete structure floating in the air.
9
Drop down to the second concrete tower
Go to the edge and drop down to the Second Concrete Tower.
10 Pay the Securitone 5000 Gold, then build a bridge to the Third Concrete Tower.

You can also use the Ostrich Bananza form to glide to the Third Concrete Tower if you want to avoid paying.
11 At the Third Concrete Tower, pay the last Securitone 9,999 Gold.
*
If you don't want to pay, you can use your Bananza forms to bypass this, but it's much more complicated compared to the previous times.

Climb up on the Securitone for a higher starting point, then use the Snake Bananza form to Charge Jump. Quickly switch to the Ostrich Bananza form to glide to the triangular platform next to the laser. Switch back to Snake Bananza to Charge Jump, then switch again to Ostrich Bananza to glide the rest of the way.
12
Build a Bridge Towards the Gate
If you opted to pay, build a bridge towards Go-No-Further Gate. Watch out for the laser that will target and attack you.
*
Lasers can build bridges
Lasers can also form structures in the air.
*
Lasers can be blocked
Lasers can be temporarily blocked by throwing chunks at them.
13
Use Kong Bananza to break gate
Transform into Kong Bananza and use Charge Punch to break through several layers of concrete at the Go-No-Further Gate.
14
Ostrich Form
Use Ostrich Bananza to fly over the platforms.
15
Approach the root
Approach the Banandium Root. Be warned that approaching the root will trigger a boss fight.
16
Void Kong
Defeat Void Kong. Throw chunks at Void Kong to damage him. Make sure to dodge out of the way of his attacks. As he flies farther away, build bridges to pursue him.
►How to Beat Forbidden Void Kong
*
Void Shield
When you reach the Golden Core, Void Kong's shield will activate. Destroy the Terravoiders to lower his shield then strike him when he's vulnerable.
*
Turf Surf on Lava
Take an ice chunk and Turf Surf across the lava terrain to avoid damage.
► How to Turf Surf
17 After the cutscene ends, drop down to the Planet Core.
► Planet Core Walkthrough

Forbidden Layer Boss

Void Kong

Void Kong

You will have to fight Void Kong once you reach the end of the Forbidden Layer. Dodge Void Kong's lasers and throw chunks to hurt him. As the fight progresses, he will fly farther and farther away, and you will need to create bridges to pursue him.

When you reach the Golden Core, Void Kong will activate a shield. To disable the shield, you will need to destroy the Terravoiders around the arena while dodging his attacks.
