Find Cotton Candy in the Hidden Ruins

How to Complete
1 Warp to the southeastern-most waypoint to get to the ruins. If you don't have this unlocked yet, follow the river south, go through the cave, out the other end, then head northeast to the ruins.
2 Defeat the Drippitunes near the entrance, so that you're free to ignite the torches outside the ruins. Use any fire-producing Echo you have to light the two torch pillars outside the Hidden Ruins.
3 Go down the revealed staircase to enter the Hidden Ruins. Open the chest to receive a monster stone.
4 In the next room, power up the yellow block using two Sparks. You can either lead the Sparks in the room to the yellow block or toss out two Spark Echoes into it. Proceed to the room on the right once it opens.
5 Burn down the spider webs using any Echo that can produce fire or be caught on fire. Get two Sparks into the yellow block in the upper right area, either by leading the Sparks in the room there or by shooting out two Spark Echoes.
6 In the next room, move the objects in the sealed off area using Bind to lead the Sparks into the yellow block, or simply aim diagonally at the yellow block and shoot out two Spark Echoes. Go up into the next room when it opens.
7 Take out the Spark going around the first elevated platform using a Sea Urchin Echo before going up the platform using a Platboom Echo or your preferred method of ascension. Open the chest to get 20 Rupees.
8 Take out the Spark on the next platform using a Sea Urchin Echo as well. If you proceed using the bottom platform, use a Water Block Echo to get up to the next platform.
9 Use Bind to move the boxes and lead the three Sparks to the yellow block, or shoot Spark Echoes at it. If the Echoes don't go into the block, move the boxes around and guide them into the yellow block.
10 Take the time to rest in the next room. Set up a bed and heal up any hearts you may have lost. Proceeding to the right will start the boss battle with Smog.
▶ How to Beat Smog
11 Defeat Smog to get another Heart Piece. Then, exit the ruins and return to the Deku Scrub in Scrubton to complete the quest.

How to Beat Smog in the Hidden Ruins

How to Beat Smog
1 Smog is a little trickier to take on in this sidescrolling format. The battle will start with Smog divided into three clouds. Use single-block Echoes like the Wooden Box and tall Echoes like the Decorative Shrub to nudge the clouds together.
2 Once Smog is reformed, use ranged attacks to damage it. The Boomerang Boarblin Echo and the Swordfighter form's bow are recommended.
3 Smog will divide once again upon taking enough damage. Repeat steps one and two until Smog is firmly defeated.

Tip: You can trap a cloud in the square nook at the bottom left or bottom right, then lead another cloud to them.
