How to Clear Onix's Mighty Leap

Take the Alternate Path That Leads to the Onix Territory

Enlarge

The Onix are only seen on the alternate path of Sands (Day), so be sure to head down this path.

Throw Fluffruit at the Three Mandibuzz after the Sand Drop

Enlarge

Right after the drop in the sand past the oasis area, look above you to the right to find two Mandibuzz perched. Throw a Fluffruit at each of them to disturb them, and they'll fly away.

Pan your camera to the left after the previous two to find a third Mandibuzz atop a rock outcrop. Hit this Mandibuzz with a Fluffruit as well. She'll soon join the other three to fly over the Onix territory.

Look Behind You and Wait for the Onix Leaping

Enlarge

As you approach the end of the level, look behind you and watch for the three Mandibuzz to fly overhead. The sand beneath should rumble as the Onix prepares to leap out. Aim your camera at the sky and snap a photo of Onix in the air! Submit it for evaluation to complete this request!
