Mulling about as the Mouse
Once you’ve given the Mumbo Token to Mumbo he’ll ask if you want to turn into “something”, press A to confirm and you’ll walk back to the colored pad. A set of transformations will pop up allowing you to choose which form you want to take. As the only 2 available for now are the Mouse and the Bear, let’s choose the Mouse and let Mumbo work his magic!
As a mouse you’ll be capable of several abilities that you weren’t able to use to your advantage as your familiar ursine self. For example, the mouse is able to squeeze into small passages that you’ve no doubt noticed around the level. You also have the new-found ability to nibble on things which will gnaw through several obstacles such as ropes and chains. Once you’ve become familiar with the controls, exit Mumbo’s Pad and head south back to the Bluff Barn and enter inside.
Bluff Barn
Once you’ve made it into the Bluff Barn as a mouse make sure you avoid the Gruntling patrolling the hallway and continue up north. Eventually you’ll come to a few stacked barrels in the corner of the room, located to the right of these barrels you’ll spot a tiny hole in the wall. As Banjo is unable to enter such a small entrance you’ll need to use the mouse transformation in order to complete the entire level. As a mouse you’ll be able to enter this small crevice and gain entrance to the area behind known as The Rafters.
The Rafters
Once you’ve gone up into the Rafters you’ll find 3 more notes (77) and you’ll be sure to hear a Jinjo crying for help. Enter the single small hole in the chain link fence and rescue the helpless Jinjo (4). Once you’ve freed the Jinjo, exit the hole and leave the Bluff Barn. Head south back into the main paved area and then head to the right until you find the gate leading to a grassy slope. From here, climb the slope and head south towards the Mill. Go right when you’ve reached the bottom to find the Mill door and squeeze into the small hole.
Crag Mill
Once you’ve gotten inside, collect the 3 notes on the current floor (80) and head up north to collect another Hollow Honeycomb piece (3). You should manage to spot a hole in the fence floor that can be used to drop to the area depicted below the mesh fence. Drop down to the area below via the hole and follow the path to your left, down and to the right until you can see a few notes spinning between the cogs of the Crag Mill. Collect the 3 notes (83) and then head north to access an entrance which leads to the higher area of the mill. Once you’ve dropped down, collect the 3 notes by the area with the spilled flour bag (86) and use your Nibble Attack with B on the lever being held down by the rope to the left.
In doing so you’ll allow an elevator to rise and lower in the area to the left. You’ll find access to this room just above the lever where you can carry on to the left. Either time your jump to the rising platform correctly, or stand underneath its shadow to be elevated to the area above where you’ll find the next Jiggy (8). Once the elevator has reached its peak, jump off to the area above and collect the Jiggy. From here, head south to get back to the entrance (mind the hole) and leave the Crag Mill.
Mumbo’s Pad
Now that we’re finished with the Mouse transformation we can head back to Mumbo’s Pad and transform back to our familiar Bear self. Let’s enter Mumbo’s Pad and approach the shaman, he’ll ask if you want to change into something. From here confirm that you would and select the Bear Transformation once you’ve been led back to the pad. Once Mumbo has finished the transformation process we’ll leave Mumbo’s Pad. Once we’re back in Farm Heights we’ll need to make our way back down to Cliff Farm, to do this we’ll head south from the Bluff Barn and pass through Momma Cluckers area to wind up on the bridge to Cliff Farm.
Cliff Farm
Once we cross the bridge we’ll carry onto the right area and collect a single note (87). Head down the path toward the cobblestone structure to collect 2 more notes (89). If we head down south we should manage to hear the cries of our final Jinjo (5) as well as pick up another note (90). The Jinjo is trapped on top of 4 barrels filled with apples, let’s jump up and rescue him! Now that we’ve rescued all 5 of Cliff Farms’ orange Jinjos the Jinjo Oracle will congratulate us on finding all of the Cliff Farm Jinjos and award us with a Jiggy that we can pick up once we locate the Jinjo Oracle once more.
Gruntweed Whacking: Bleater Breakout
Head to the right and you’ll collect 2 more notes (92). From here, let’s continue to the right until we spot a Sheep pen. Collect the 3 notes (95) and enter the pen. The Gruntweed will tell you it’s trapping the Bleaters in the pen for it’s own amusement, much to Banjo’s disapproval. In order to liberate the Bleaters and get rid of the Gruntweed you’ll have to quickly run under the Gruntweed to taunt it and then back to the right out of harms way. Doing so will trick the Gruntweed into stomping down into the ground and getting itself stuck. While it’s buried, use your Pack Whack Attack to to defeat the Gruntweed for good. The Bleaters will thank you for getting rid of the Gruntweed, rewarding you with a Jiggy (9) from their pen.
Once you’ve finished a little bit of adventurous weed whacking and collected your 9th Jiggy, it’s time to collect the last of the Notes as we make our way to back to the entrance of Cliff Farm. Head down south to collect another note (96) and then descend the Hay Bales that lead back to the base of Cliff Farm. Scatted around the Hay Bales are the final notes you’ll need for Cliff Farm, do keep your eyes peeled, as the golden glow of the remaining notes blend in rather well with the bales of hay. Once you manage to collect all 4 notes scattered around the hay bales you’ll bring your grand total to 100!
Once you’ve descended the final hay bale you’ll need to watch out for the Gruntling to your left, deal with in swiftly and get ready to finish up the farm for good. Once you’re ready, approach the Jinjo Oracle to the left harboring your final Jiggy (10). As soon as you pick up the last Jiggy the Jinjo Oracle will tell you that you’ve collected all of the Jinjo’s on Cliff Farm, and the next Jinjo’s to save are found on Breegul Beach. Nothing to fear here, because that’s where we’re headed next! Once you’ve collected the Jiggy than you’ve collected everything there is to acquire in Cliff Farm, congratulations! From here, head north to the entrance and leave Cliff Farm.
