Showdown! The Gloomy Cavern Walkthrough

Go to the Gloomy Cavern Entrance

Once Marques Jr. has pulled out the holy sword, go to the Gloomy Cavern entrance located a bit to the north of Crescent Moon Ruins. You'll know you've arrived at the correct spot if you see a launch tube a couple of steps from the cavern's entrance, which should be presently closed.

Find a Way to Open the Gloomy Cavern Entrance

Then, investigate the stone by the entrance of the cavern. To open the Gloomy Cavern Entrance use your Fiery Glow ability outfit to set off fireworks from each Launch Tube marked on the map of the stone tablet. You can get the map as soon as you interact with the tablet, and keep in mind that you don't need to craft any Firework to use the launch tube!

How to Open the Gloomy Cavern Entrance

	How to Open the Gloomy Cavern Entrance
1	The map has three marked locations for each Launch Tube, but for the sake of this guide, we'll follow the order indicated on the map above!
2	The first Launch Tube is the tube located a couple of steps away from the stone tablet. Equip your Fiery Glow ability outfit, then use it to set off the firework. This should light up one of the three gems embedded on the cavern's entrance.
3	The second Launch Tube is located exactly on Crescent Moon Ruins, which should be somewhere south of the cavern. Use the Fiery Glow's ability once more as soon as you see it!
4	The third and last Launch Tube is on the Flaming Forest, located on the southwestern portion of the Isle. You can easily reach the location by using the Sizzle & Spark Center Warp Spire, then walking past the bridge that leads to the Flaming Forest!
5	Once you're at the ruins in Flaming Forest, you'll have to defeat the Esselings first, before being able to use the Launch Tube with your Fiery Glow outfit!

Open the Gate to the Gloomy Cavern

After setting off the three launch tubes, open the gate to the Gloomy Cavern and venture inside. There are a bunch of Esselings inside that you can ignore, but there are also a lot of Dew of Fireworks, as well as three chests, waiting for you to obtain! Either way, simply head deep within the cavern until you see the a giant closed door.

Purify the Dark Bouquet

Once the cutscene has played out, defeat the Esseling that shoots out of the crate. To Purify the Dark Bouquet, you must your Fiery Glow Ability Outfit and your Purification Outfit, simultaneously! Fiery Glow disables the Dark Bouquet, while your Purification outfit whittles down its HP.

How to Purify the Dark Bouquet

	How to Purify the Dark Bouquet
1	As soon as the battle starts, you'll get knocked back by the Bouquet's growl. Do not move to either side, but instead continue walking forward, as this is the blindspot of the Dark Bouquet's first attack.
2	When the Launch Tube is within your reach, immediately activate your Fiery Glow outfit to disable the Dark Bouquet. Hit the boss enemy with an attack from your Purification outfit, afterwards.
3	Afterwards, the Dark Bouquet knocks you back again with a growl, and its attacks will now summon small Bouquet monsters which you must with Purify first, before using the Launch Tube.
4	Keep doing this attack pattern until you've depleted the Bouquet's HP to 2. By then, the Dark Bouquet will move from Launch Tube to another, while attacking you a barrage of attacks and summoning its Bouquet minions. Despite this, however, simply do the same attack pattern until the monster is defeated!

Go to the Upper Levels of Inside the Stone Chamber

After defeating the Dark Bouquet Esseling and having the cutscene playout, go to the upper levels inside the stone chamber and collect the Ice Sparkle. Use the wooden platforms within the chamber to easily reach the Sparkle!
