How to Clear Onix's Mighty Leap

Take the Alternate Path That Leads to the Onix Territory

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

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

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!

Can confirm. Hit the two mandibuzz under the cliff after enter Onix area. Then hit the mandibuzz on top of the rock across from that. Then just wait for all three to fly toward the end while you face away from the teleport. Onix shoots up and request complete.
