Unlocking Gruntilda’s Lair
While the force field blocking the Witchy Warp in Gruntilda’s hat has been firmly taken care of, it’s still a trek to actually make it up to the hat as we still have some loose ends to tie up. From the Temple entrance we’ll head back around to the left and ascend the ledges that lead us to the Jinjo Oracle, climb the vines located behind the Jinjo Oracle and head north to enter Spiral Rise.
Spiral Rise
Once we’ve arrived at Spiral Rise we’ll finally be able to acquire the final Honeycomb unit from Honey B. as we’ve collected all of the Empty Honeycomb pieces. Although this will only award us with a single unit of Honeycomb energy, we’ll need all the help we can get for the final fight ahead, so let’s increase our health to its full potential. Head up north in order to pay a visit to Honey B’s Hive.
Honey B’s Hive
At twelve Empty Honeycombs required for our next upgrade we’ve collected exactly enough. Head to the north once inside the Hive and approach Honey B’s counter. Once there we’ll trade in our final Honeycombs for an extension, bringing our Honeycomb Energy to 8 units! Once we’ve been topped off we’ll take off to the south leaving the Bee Hive behind.
Spiral Rise
Once you emerge from Honey B’s Hive head to the south and hop up onto the elevated ledge, if you continue to the right you’ll see a large block of Ice blocking access to the Pad underneath. Get into Breegul Blaster mode and select the Fire Eggs, carefully aim your shot to incinerate the Ice Block and expose the Shock Spring Pad underneath. Use the Shock Spring Pad to boost yourself up to the scaffolding which harbors a static Pad and a nest of Ice Eggs. You didn’t think it was going to be this easy did you? Once you’ve collected the nest of Ice Eggs drop down and head to the bust of King Jingaling which can be found by heading to the left until you reach the ledge and then heading north.
You’ll need to execute a Flip Flap to elevate yourself to get on top of the nose, with precise accuracy you should manage to pull it off. Keep and eye out for the patrolling Gruntling and Flip Flap up to the ledge once he’s left your sights, mind the fire when you come up. Once you’ve gotten up to the ledge get into Breegul Blaster mode and select your Ice Eggs. Use the Ice Eggs to clear a path through the fire where you’ll find an Ice Egg Toll in the center. Position yourself in front of the Egg Toll and fire a single shot, then get ready to run!
Once you’ve activated the Toll the Static Pad on the scaffold will cease and reveal a Shock Spring Pad that you can use to boost yourself up to the Witchy Warp inside Gruntildas hat. However, you’ll only be given 10 seconds to do so! Once you’re given control switch to Talon Trot mode and leap off to the south, once you land head to the right and locate the Shock Spring Pad. Deactivate Talon Trot Mode and use the Pad to boost yourself up to the scaffold where you’ll use the second pad to boost yourself up to the brim. Once you reach the top you’re free to let the countdown end; it’s only to keep the second Shock Spring Pad active. Be sure to collect all of the Fire and Ice Eggs surrounding the brim, you’re going to need them for this battle… After you’ve finished replenishing your supplies locate the Witchy Switch inside the hat and press A to be taken to the Final Fight!
